Frequently asked questions
Is Vasudev MEA Triazine 78% equivalent to SULFA-CLEAR 8411HC?+
Both products are MEA-based hexahydrotriazine H2S scavengers (CAS 4719-04-4). SULFA-CLEAR 8411HC is 80% active; our product is 78% active. The 2% difference in concentration is negligible in field application — a minor dosage adjustment (approximately 2.5% more volume) compensates fully. The cost savings from direct manufacturer pricing far outweigh this marginal difference.
Can I switch from SULFA-CLEAR to Vasudev without operational changes?+
Yes. The chemistry is the same — both products react with H2S to form dithiazine. Your existing injection equipment and chemical handling procedures remain unchanged. A minor increase in injection rate (approximately 2.5%) compensates for the slightly lower concentration.
Does Lubrizol also offer a 60% MEA triazine variant?+
Yes — SULFA-CLEAR 8411C is Lubrizol's 60% active variant. Vasudev Chemo Pharma also manufactures MEA Triazine at 60% and 50% concentrations in addition to our standard 78%. Contact us for pricing on any concentration.
