Whenever types of soil are encountered
that are inorganic or mineral based, then one of our acidic
cleaners is generally the best choice for effective
cleaning. Typically these cleaning applications will involve
the removal of some type of corrosion deposit or hard water
mineral scale accumulation.
Key properties found in our acidic
cleaners......
1.
Wetting agents to enhance penetration into dense scales.
2.
Detergents to increase effectiveness on oil-contaminated
surfaces.
3.
Corrosion inhibitors to minimize attack on bare metal
surfaces.
4.
High-strength acids for effective performance.
Generally the product is diluted
with water and applied by low-pressure spray or foam application
methods. Alternatively the cleaning
is achieved by immersion soaking.
After the corrosion or scale deposit has been dissolved the
surface is usually rinsed with an alkaline detergent to neutralize
any residual acidity.
CAUTIONARY NOTE:
Acidic cleaners must be handled
by trained personnel with appropriate personal protective
equipment for respiratory, eye and skin
protection.
Some typical applications for
Accuchem Acidic Cleaners are...
1. Cleaning
the heating coils of pressure washers and steam cleaners.

from oilfield servicing equipment and ready-mix trucks.
3. Hard water
scale removal from boilers, cooling towers, humidifiers
and steam generating equipment.
4. Removal
of pitting and oxidation from aluminum tankers and trailers.
5. Rust and
corrosion removal from ferrous metal surfaces.
