Benefits
- Excellent cleaning performance and high limescale-dissolving power
- Removal of mineral-based, oxidation and corrosion deposits

- Effective even in hard water
- Higher solubility for various salts and oxides than phosphoric acid: prevention of precipitates
- Owing to a good wetting effect, only small additions of surfactants are required to fine-tune the cleaner
- Miscible in all proportions 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
