RAWTEC ACIDCLEAN-55 is used as an acidic antiscalant/lime remover and is especially preferred in difficult scaling conditions.
Superior Features of RAWTEC ACIDCLEAN-55
- As a strong mineral acid, it lowers pH.
- Rapidly dissolves calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) deposits.
- Cleans iron oxide (rust) deposits.
- Passifies metal surfaces.
- Increases lime removal power.
- Forms a protective phosphate film on metal surfaces.
- Acts as a corrosion inhibitor.
- Complexes calcium and magnesium ions.
Purposes of Use.
- Aggressive cleaning: Removal of heavy lime deposits.
- Online cleaning: Prevents scale buildup with continuous dosing at low concentration.
- Acidic water systems: pH between 2–4. Can be used in special processes operating in the UK.
Typical Applications
- Cleaning of heat exchangers
- Heavy scale removal in cooling towers
- Acid scrubbing of industrial boilers
- Pretreatment or cleaning in RO systems
Considerations
- Highly corrosive – requires stainless steel or plastic equipment
- PH must be constantly monitored
- Safety equipment is mandatory
RAWTEC ACIDCLEAN-55 is used in cases of heavy scale removal where standard antiscalants are insufficient or in special processes requiring low pH.
