The Value of Titration
The accurate measurement of the dilution ratio of a product, known as titration, is important in controlling costs and getting the best performance in your wash. This is especially important when using concentrated products. Unlike the use of pH metering strips, titrations are more precise. Through this accurate measuring technique, better adjustments can be made to the chemical dilutions. This will allow for adjustments based on environmental conditions to get the best value and performance from your chemicals during these changing conditions. Lustra™ Car Care Products offers a no obligation eVALUEation that will check titrations and the general performance of your wash to offer improvements that will save you money.
