Chemical Cleaner Acidic are formulated with acidic substances to effectively remove mineral deposits, rust, and other alkaline-based soils. These cleaners are commonly used in industrial, commercial, and household settings for cleaning surfaces such as bathroom fixtures, kitchen appliances, and industrial equipment. It is crucial to handle acidic cleaners with caution, as they can be corrosive to certain surfaces and can cause skin and eye irritation.

Type:

  • Acidic Cleaner: This is the primary type, indicating its core chemical characteristic.
  • Industrial Cleaner: Often used in industrial settings for heavy-duty cleaning tasks.
  • Degreaser: Many acidic cleaners are effective degreasers, removing oils and grease.
  • Descaler: Some are specifically formulated to remove scale (mineral deposits) from surfaces.

Material:

  • Mineral Acids: Common ingredients include:
    • Hydrochloric Acid (HCl): Effective for removing rust and scale.
    • Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4): Strong acid used in various industrial cleaning applications.
    • Nitric Acid (HNO3): Often used in metal etching and cleaning.
    • Phosphoric Acid (H3PO4): Less corrosive than some other acids, used in rust removal and metal surface preparation.
  • Organic Acids:
    • Citric Acid: A milder acid derived from citrus fruits, often used in household and industrial cleaners.
    • Oxalic Acid: Effective for removing rust and stains.

Usage:

  • Industrial Applications:
    • Metal Cleaning: Removing rust, scale, and other contaminants from metal surfaces.
    • Descaling: Cleaning heat exchangers, boilers, and other equipment affected by mineral deposits.
    • Surface Preparation: Preparing metal surfaces for painting, plating, or other treatments.
  • Other Applications:
    • Household Cleaning: Some diluted acidic cleaners can be used for cleaning bathroom fixtures, removing hard water stains, and unclogging drains.
    • Pool Maintenance: Used to adjust water pH and control algae.

How to Use

  • Safety First: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection when handling acidic cleaners.
  • Dilution: Dilute the cleaner according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Application: Apply the cleaner to the surface using a brush, spray bottle, or other suitable method.
  • Contact Time: Allow the cleaner to dwell on the surface for the recommended time.
  • Rinsing: Thoroughly rinse the surface with clean water to remove all traces of the cleaner.
  • Neutralization: In some cases, neutralization with a basic solution may be necessary.
