Para Trooper is a phased inversion temperature detergent. It is a chemical that is oil soluble at high temperatures and water soluble at lower temperatures. That is why the product must be heated to 160 F to dissolve the oil, and then cooled to 100 F to make the oil water soluble so it can be pumped into the ocean.
