Product Information
Benefits
- Excellent cleaning performance and high limescale-dissolving power
- Removal of mineral-based, oxidation and corrosion deposits
- Low corrosion rates on metallic and non-metallic materials
- Effective even in hard water
- Higher solubility for various salts and oxides than phosphoric acid: prevention of precipitates
- Owing to the good wetting action, only small amounts of surfactants are required to fine-tune the cleaner
- Miscible in any ratio with polar and hydrophilic solvents e. g. water, alcohols, esters and ketones
- No crystallization or phase separation occurs at temperatures down to - 30 °C
- Low foaming
