Inhibited Hydrochloric Acid – Industrial Descaling & Metal Cleaning Chemical
Inhibited Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) is a specially formulated hydrochloric acid solution containing corrosion inhibitors and other additives to reduce unwanted attack on suitable metal surfaces during acid cleaning. It is widely used for descaling, rust removal, mineral deposit removal, and industrial cleaning.
Unlike ordinary hydrochloric acid, inhibited HCl is designed to provide effective removal of calcium carbonate, scale, rust, and other inorganic deposits while helping reduce acid attack on the underlying metal under controlled application conditions.
Scales are very damaging to the boiler because they interfere with the heat transfer and can lead to overheating and eventually, boiler rupture , To increas usable life of cleaned equipment , it is safe and effective way to remove scale deposits from all types of water-cooled and water-heated equipment. This descaler specifically formulated and developed to rapidly clean mineral scale from passages in water-cooled or heated equipment. It improves Plant Efficiency, Lowers Cost, Conserves Energy, Decreases Down-Time.
Chemically react with and decompose Calcium, Magnesium deposited Salts. Suitable for pipeline, boiler, HVAC, Heat Exhanger, Condenser, Evapourator, Chiller, Compressor and etc. Specifically formulated to remove rust and water scale build up from boiler evaporators, heat exchangers, cooling systems, pipeline collection system etc. Highly effective on heating.

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.
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.

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.
Dosage
How Inhibited HCl Works
Hydrochloric acid reacts with alkaline and carbonate deposits, converting them into soluble compounds and releasing gases such as carbon dioxide in carbonate-scale reactions.
The inhibitor system helps control the reaction between the acid and the metal substrate, allowing the acid to focus on deposits while reducing excessive metal dissolution.
The appropriate acid concentration, inhibitor dosage, temperature, contact time, and neutralization procedure depend on the equipment, scale composition, metallurgy, and manufacturer's technical instructions.
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.

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.

Important Safety Precautions
Inhibited Hydrochloric Acid remains a highly corrosive chemical. Appropriate chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, eye/face protection, and suitable ventilation are essential.
It should never be mixed with bleach or hypochlorite products, as dangerous chlorine gas can be generated. Always follow the product's SDS and technical instructions, and verify material compatibility before cleaning.

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.
