Biodegradable Water Scale Cleaner:
Applications:
Inhibited,
low foaming mineral acid compound for removing hard water scale, lime,
rust and other oxides. This product is designed to be used as a
competitive product to Rydlyme@, Sublime@ and other similar products.
Ultra-Descaler is designed to remove hard water
scale from industrial equipment such as boilers, heat exchange units,
water cooled compressors and connecting pipe lines. This version is
more pleasant to handle because it fumes less and smells better than
competitive products. Yet is can be diluted with water by as much as
50% for performance similar to competitive products above. Hard water
scale is removed down to the base metal with no scraping or rod ding
needed it also removes metal oxides, such as rust from ferrous metal
equipment and ferrous stock metal. Ultra-Descaler is suitable for use
in USDA federally inspected meat and poultry facilities for desiccating
heat exchangers.
Ultra-Descaler is
compounded with inhibitors, surfactants, deforming agents, various
diluted acids, a pleasant cover scent and a dye to help differentiate
it from other materials. It contains no toxic creosols or other tar
oils that require SARA title III, Section 313 reporting.
Be certain to read and understand the application procedure on the reverse of this sheet prior to using Ultra-Descaler.

Application Procedure:
For Desiccating: Ultra-Descaler may
be diluted as desired for use between by 50% volume with water to full
strength for heavy accumulation of hard-water scale. It may be used at
room temperature. Note that not all hard-water scale is identical in
composition. If results attained using Ultra-Descaler are not as
expected, submit a sample to our lab for testing and further
recommendations
When charging an enclosed system, Ultra-Descaler should
be introduced gradually through a bottom inlet so that all cavities
will be filled without forming gas pockets. Air pressure should be
released until the system is full of the desiccating solution.
Provision must be made to vent gases formed during the desiccating
process. A vent hose or line should be attached to the top outlet of
the equipment and led to a safe areas where there are no open flames or
sparks or any possible contact with personnel.
Solution Control: Titrate solutions each half-hour to the point where
two or more successive titrations show no further drop in solution
strength. DO NOT mix or contact with chlorine release agents or anionic
surfactants. Read MSDS before using. The simplest method is to use
litmus paper.
Completion: Drain desiccating solution and follow with a thorough water rinse and thorough neutralization.
Notes on use:
Holding tanks of Ultra - Descaler solutions should be constructed of polyethylene, or other acid proof material.
Recalculating:
Use only acid resistant or expendable pumps. Recalculate
intermittently (1 minute on and 10 minutes off) at a slow speed to
avoid scouring the inhibitor film off the base metal.
Safety & Handling: Ultra-Descaler is
corrosive when concentrated. Direct contact causes burns of skin and
eyes. It is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Use of a respirator is
recommended to avoid breathing vapor or mist.
First Aid:
Eyes-flush with water for a minimum of 15 minutes (industry
standard) separating eyelids with fingers. Get immediate medical
attention. Skin-wash with soap and water. Ingestion - Do not induce
vomiting Drink water, Milk of Magnesia. Seek medical attention.
Inhalation - Move to fresh air.
Keep out of reach of Children. Please read and understand the material safety data sheet for this material prior to use.

Storage:
Store container in a cool, dry location. Protect from
possibility of physical damage from impact by fork trucks and other
heavy equipment. To avoid injury, loosen bung slowly to relieve any
pressure buildup. Keep container closed when not in use.
Disposal:
Neutralize solutions with spent alkaline material, lime or soda
ash, dilute and discharge in accordance with federal, state and local
regulations. Some regulations may allow disposal down drains once
product is neutralized.
