3M 1870 Heavy Duty Drain Opener 1 Liter

Product Description

The 3M 1870 is a heavy duty liquid drain opener formulated with a dual hydroxide chemistry designed to clear tough clogs in bathroom and kitchen drains. The dual hydroxide formula delivers 15 times the hair-dissolving power of standard drain openers, while also breaking down grease and soap scum. Sold as a 1-liter unit, the 1870 is positioned as a cost-effective alternative to sulfuric acid-based drain openers. Plumbers and drain service technicians reach for this product when a fast-acting, non-acid approach is required. The formula produces no significant odors or fumes during application.

The 3M 1870 is suited for routine and heavy-duty drain maintenance in residential and light commercial settings. It performs in bathroom sink, shower, and tub drains where hair accumulation is the primary cause of blockage, as well as in kitchen drains where grease and soap scum are common culprits. It is formulated to be safe on all pipe materials and compatible with septic systems when used as directed. Plumbers and property maintenance technicians use this product as a non-mechanical first-response treatment before snaking or hydro-jetting.
