Scale Removers for External Surfaces

Often used on the outside of cooling towers and condensers, these scale removers cling to vertical surfaces to dissolve scale and mineral deposits. Less harsh than other scale removers for external surfaces, they are safe for use on galvanized steel, stainless steel, and soft metals, such as aluminum and brass.

Calcium, Lime, and Rust Removers


Jug	Pail	Drum

Clean rust and lime deposits such as calcium and scale from HVAC systems, coolers, tools, and vehicles. These removers are nonabrasive and noncorrosive, so they won’t damage surfaces. Derived from plants, they don’t contain toxic chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, alcohol, or phosphates. These removers break down quickly, so they won’t pollute air and water. They’re NSF registered for use in food- and beverage-processing facilities, and meet the EPA Safer Choice standard for environmentally friendly ingredients. They also help you meet LEED Green Building standards.
