Product Overview

ScaleSolv 3X is a concentrated hazardous carbonate descaler designed for industrial water-operated equipment. It is a stronger, more concentrated version of ScaleSolv for applications where handling stronger acids is not a concern and reduced shipping volume is preferred.

ScaleSolv 3X removes carbonate-based deposits and can also help dissolve deposits caused by corrosion by-products, including iron oxides, iron carbonate, and zinc carbonates. It is designed for use in boilers, cooling towers, galvanized cooling towers, closed loops, heat exchangers, aluminum molds, and other industrial equipment affected by carbonate scale buildup.

ScaleSolv 3X is safe for use on galvanized steel, aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, and plastic when used according to instructions. It helps prevent flash corrosion after cleaning and helps prevent dissimilar metal plating during the cleaning process.

This product is classified as a hazardous corrosive liquid and should only be handled by trained personnel using proper protective equipment. Always review the SDS and follow all applicable shipping, handling, storage, and disposal requirements.

Key Features

Concentrated hazardous carbonate descaler
Removes carbonate scale deposits
Helps remove corrosion by-products such as iron oxides, iron carbonate, and zinc carbonates
Safe for use on galvanized steel, aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, and plastic
Low corrosion levels during application
Helps prevent flash corrosion after cleaning
Helps prevent dissimilar metal plating
Reduces shipping volume compared to standard concentration descalers

Applications

Boilers
Cooling towers
Galvanized cooling towers
Closed loops
Heat exchangers
Aluminum molds
Industrial water-operated equipment
Systems with carbonate scale and corrosion by-product deposits

Usage and Dosage

Dilute down to 8% of system volume to achieve the active concentration of ScaleSolv at 25%
Pump slowly when applying to help prevent rapid foam formation
Have silicone defoamer available for rapid foam control if needed
Initial cleaning solution pH should start around 2.8
As deposits dissolve, pH will increase and the solution will become weaker
At pH 3.8 and higher, the cleaning solution becomes very weak
When pH is stable for over one hour and remains below 3.8, most carbonate deposits are usually dissolved
Inspect equipment after cleaning and repeat the procedure if needed
As a general rule, 1 gallon dissolves approximately 7.5 to 9.0 lbs of calcium carbonate
Neutralize spent cleaning solution before discharge according to local, state, and federal regulations
