Alimex is a water-based chemical formulated to safely clean lime scale and corrosion from water-wetted surfaces. It contains wetting agents, corrosion inhibitors and degreasing compounds to help penetrate and carry away the scale and corrosion. This product is specifically designed to be used on equipment that contains aluminum that cannot be safely cleaned with other scale removing compounds.

When used as directed, Alimex is non-corrosive and will not affect the following: aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, admiralty metal, copper, iron, lead, PVC plastic, polyethylene, rubber leather, and most materials found in water-wetted equipment. Alimex is not recommended for zinc, galvanized steel, or alloys of magnesium.

ALIMEX is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and non-flammable when used as directed. It is biodegradable and can be safely put into the sewer in the spent condition. It also has a built-in indicator which changes color when the solution is 95+ percent spent. When the solution begins to turn blue, it should be added to or changed if the equipment is not clean.

RECOMMENDED USES

Alimex is a water-based chemical descaler formulated for the safe removal of scale from water-wetted aluminum surfaces. Aided by wetting agents, corrosion inhibitors and degreasing agents, it effectively loosens and removes deposits from critical aluminum components such as heat exchangers, fin fans, and any other aluminum coated surface.

Summit Galvan-Plus is an acid-free descaler built specifically for galvanized metal cleaning. Galvan-Plus is designed to safely remove lime deposits or water scale from cooling towers (basin), water lines and galvanized pipe fittings where stronger, acid-based descalers would degrade the metal. It is 4 to 10 times more effective than citric and glycolic acids and 2 to 3 times more effective than phosphoric acid.

RECOMMENDED USES

Galvan-Plus is most effectively used by circulating through the equipment that needs cleaning, providing that there is adequate venting for the carbon dioxide created in the cleaning process. One gallon of GalVan-Plus will consume 1.1 pounds of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3).

Morcon-10 was developed to remove cement and other calcium materials (lime-scale, barnacles, mussels) from places where they may cause a problem. Morcon-10 is a hydrochloric acid solution that contains corrosion inhibitors, detergents, wetting agents and degreasing compounds. It is designed to penetrate encrusted scale, cement, and barnacles and quickly remove them from the surface. When used as directed, Morcon-10 may be safely brushed, mopped or sprayed on equipment and structural surfaces. It may be circulated through pumps and exchangers. Parts may be soaked. It is non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-flammable and non-hazardous when used as directed. Because it is biodegradable, standard disposal procedures may be followed.

RECOMMENDED USES

Morcon-10 was developed to remove cement and concrete from trucks, building forms, concrete mixers, pumps, and all sorts of construction equipment. It can also be used to clean excess mortar from bricks, tile and concrete blocks; remove barnacles from propellers, skegs, rudders, and hulls of sea going vessels; remove barnacles and mussels from pipe, screens, pumps, and exchangers in power plants; and remove rust and stains from floors and process equipment. Morcon-10 is not recommended for use on aluminum, certain alloys, zinc, and alloys of magnesium.  The improper use of Morcon-10 could result in the discoloration of automotive paint finish.

Sublime® Descaler is a water-based solvent with wetting agents, corrosion inhibitors and degreasing compounds. It has a pleasant citrus-lime fragrance that masks the obnoxious odors normally associated with dissolving water scale and corrosion. Sublime® Descaler is low-foaming and quickly releases the carbon dioxide (CO2) gas generated by the reaction of lime scale with Sublime®.

Sublime® descaler comes in a pale yellow color that changes to a deep bluish-purple when it is spent. The advantages to this color change are:

1. Know when the solution is spent and should be discarded
2. Don’t spend time circulating a spent solution
3. The color change occurs at a pH of 5.8 to 6.0 which is well within the safe disposal range of most of the current governmental waste regulations.

If the equipment is clean and Sublime® has not changed color, you can save it and use it again.

RECOMMENDED USES

Sublime® Descaler is designed to penetrate and remove encrusted lime scale, rust, corrosion products and dirt from water-wetted surfaces in process equipment, commercial and industrial applications. Sublime® is most effectively used by circulating through the equipment to be cleaned. When possible, circulation should be up-flow. Sublime® can also be used by filling the equipment to be cleaned and allowing it to set until scale has disappeared. The cleaning operation normally takes two to six hours. It is non-toxic, non corrosive, non-flammable and non-hazardous when used as directed. Sublime® descaler is registered as NSF-A3 and U.S.D.A. approved as specified in 40 CRF 261. and D.O.T. 173.240(a).

Sum-Kool® is an effective and efficient heat transfer system cleaner designed to remove encrusted lime scale, rust, and corrosion products from water-wetted surfaces. Sum-Kool® is a neutral compound (no acid) and is based on chelating agents. The problems caused by water related scale, rust, and corrosion affect every industry from nuclear power plants to automobile engines. It has been shown that 1/16 of an inch of scale is equivalent to approximately 3 inches of steel in heat transferability.

Sum-Kool® is non-toxic, non-hazardous and biodegradable, is non-acid and does not require neutralization, operates in a pH range from 6.0 to 8.5 and can be safely disposed in municipal water handling operations. Sum-Kool® is non-corrosive and will not adversely affect the following materials: stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, admiralty metal, copper, iron, lead, aluminum, PVC plastic, polyethylene, rubber, leather, or any metal or material normally found in water-wetted equipment.

RECOMMENDED USES

Sum-Kool® is a heat transfer system cleaner designed for closed loop systems and systems containing aluminum. It removes encrusted lime scale, rust, and corrosion products from water-wetted surfaces.
