Uniqueness of RXSOL-40-1048-025 ::: ---
RXSOL-40-1048-025 Descaler has the ability to dissolve approximately 1.5kg of calcium carbonate scale per gallon in concentrated form. It does not need to be heated up during cleaning. The uniqueness of this Descaler allows you to clean some equipment while still in operation utilizing a minimum of your own personnel.
RXSOL-40-1048-025 is mixed with fresh water 3 to 20 percent depending on deposition of scaling.
If the equipment to be cleaned is contaminated by oil, grease, sludge or carbonized oil, then first of all clean the system with degreaser RXSOL-10-1005. RXSOL-40-1048 should be mixed with fresh water to form a solution of 10-30%, depending on the extent of scaling.
PRECAUTION :::it is essential to thoroughly rinse all metal surfaces at least once with a 0.5% solution of RXSO-20-2005 in fresh water. This solution should be circulated for 2-4 hours or until an acceptable pH value is obtained. This will neutralize any remaining acidity & passivate steel surfaces.
Procedure-of-use: The most effective descaling is accomplished by circulation.In the case of small components,the soak method in an immersion bath can be used. If the equipment to be cleaned is contaminated by oil, grease or sludge, then pre-cleaning with DEGREASER ( RXSOL OB 1005 ) is necessary. Depending on the extent of scaling, use a solution of 2.5-10% RXSOL-40-1048-025 .
RXSOL-40-1048-025 ( We have 2 grade 1 is with colour indicator , while other one dont have indicator )
The solution will have a red colour which changes to orange when 85% of the acid has been neutralized , & to colourless when the solution is totally neutralized. Whenever possible, the solution should be heated to 60°C.Neutralised solutions can be re-activated by adding more RXSOL-40-1048-025 until the red colour reappears.
Fields: Descaling of Boilers, Descaling of Diesel Engine Cooling Systems, Condenser, Pipeline collection system, Evaporators, Calorifiers, Heat Exchangers,The strength of the acid can be enhanced by adding 1part sodium chloride (common salt) to 20 parts of Descalex.If salt is not available, an acceptable alternative is to dissolve RXSOL-40-1048-025 in sea water. After use of RXSOL-40-1048-025 a 0.5% solution of Alkalinity Control in fresh water should be used for neutralization.
After using RXSOL-40-1048-025, sense all metal surfaces with 0.5 percent of RXSOL-10-1005, at least 2-4 hour , up to neutral of PH value.
• Fast and effective scale remover.
• Soft on ferrous metals.
• Removes water scale & rust from boilers/diesel engine & other cooling system
• As well as from condensers, evaporators, & heat exchangers etc
Why Use RXSOL Descaler?
- It is a safe , economical concentrated chemical to be used on the waterside of heat transfer equipment.
-
You do not have to heat RXSOL-40-1048-025 .
RXSOL-40-1048-025 is safer for the employees to use than other acid products. -
Your equipment will be cleaned in only hours without disassembling any part of the equipment. Equipment can also be cleaned without any down time (cleaning on the run).
- Cleans down to the original surface without pitting.
- RXSOL-40-1048-025 is safe on copper, copper-nickel, bronze, brass, iron, stainless steel and rubber.
- RXSOL-40-1048-025 will extend the usable life of your equipment, especially when used as a part of a regularly scheduled preventative maintenance program.
- Removing the scale build up allows your equipment to operate more efficiently with less down time.
TIPS for General Uses :::
The steam boiler which has solid mass of mineral deposits approximate mass calculation will help to use proper volume of RXSOL-40-1048-025 Descaler. As per gallon in concentrated form of RXSOL-40-1048-025 has the ability to dissolve approximately 1.5kg of scale mass
For example if descaling required for home appliances , brewing shop 1 - 3 Table spoon is sufficient to clean while for Industrial cleaning multiple Gallon volume required.
As for the other parts, The RXSOL-40-1048-025 works more quickly with hot water than cold. Try using RXSOL-40-1048-025 with the hot maintain the temperature. And give sufficint time to dissolve mineral deposits in some cases complete dissolving may reuqire bath water above 100F over night period.
Home application :::
Around two tablespoons to a liter of water is a 'normal' mix. You could go 3 or 4 tablespoons for heavier scale. When I do my every 6 months descale I use the 2 tablespoons per liter mix and it works just fine. Hot water is more aggressive so when you put all the parts in a tub to descale, put your water and RXSOL-40-1048-025 in a bit stock pot, bring it to a low boil then dump it in your tub with the parts.
Almost forgot, do not use an aluminum pot or Teflon coated. Use stainless. The acidic part of RXSOL-40-1048-025 will eat up the aluminum and may blister the Teflon.
Typical descaling cleaning procedure :
1st Stage : Take ‘RXSOL-11-1053-010’ weblink ( http://rxmarine.com/Alkaline-Descaler ) and mix with water in the ratio of 1:6 (One litre of RXSOL-1053 and six litres of water). Circulate the solution or immerse the equipment in this solution for 2 hrs. This will be helpful in loosening the hard deposited scale.

Formation of Calcium Sulfate is main cause for SCALE formation :::
The principal problem potential posed by sulfate ions in water is the possibility of calcium sulfate scale formation. Precipitation of calcium sulfate can occur when high concentrations of both calcium and sulfate exist simultaneously. There are three primary areas of water treatment in which calcium sulfate precipitation may occur boilers, cooling systems, and ion exchangers operating in the hydrogen or acid mode.
In boilers, calcium sulfate scale formation has been reduced to a minimum by modern treatment practices. The low hardness levels largely preclude calcium sulfate boiler scale. By contrast, cooling systems are subject to calcium sulfate scale deposition because the makeup is usually not treated for hardness removal. Cooling water is usually treated with sulfuric acid for pH control, and the makeup is cycled, i.e. concentrated. Calcium sulfate scale deposition can result unless the cycles of concentration are properly controlled in conjunction with the proper use of scale control chemicals. Cation ion exchangers regenerated with sulfuric acid also can pose a major calcium sulfate problem. Calcium sulfate precipitation can be avoided by controlling the acid concentration and the flow rate through the exchanger.
Sulfate content can be calculated in Laboratory by using this method ::: http://rxmarine.com/SULFATE-TEST-KIT
