ShadeTack™

Professional Grade House & Roof Surfactant (Apple Scented)

ShadeTack™ is a premium, eco-conscious surfactant engineered to maximize the performance of professional cleaning solutions. By significantly reducing surface tension, ShadeTack™ creates a "tackiness" that extends dwell time on vertical siding and steep-pitched roofs. This advanced formula ensures your cleaning agents penetrate deeper and work longer, while its built-in apple scent masks the harsh odor of chlorine bleach.

Primary Applications:

  • House Washing & Soft Wash Roofing: Maximizes "cling" for organic growth removal.
  • Concrete & Masonry: Enhances chemical penetration into porous surfaces.
  • Vehicle & Fleet: Functions as a high-foam stabilizer for touchless washing.

Frequently Asked Questions about ShadeTack™ Surfactant

Is ShadeTack bleach stable?
Yes, ShadeTack™ is specifically formulated to be bleach-stable, meaning it will not degrade the potency of your Sodium Hypochlorite (SH) during soft washing applications.

Will ShadeTack etch glass?
No. Unlike some industrial surfactants, ShadeTack™ is designed to be safe on glass and will not etch windows, even if it dries (though we always recommend a thorough rinse).

Why use an apple-scented surfactant?
The apple scent in ShadeTack™ acts as a powerful masking agent to neutralize the chemical smell of bleach, making the job site more pleasant for both the contractor and the homeowner.

Handling & Storage
