Description
RXSOL MARINE WATER SCALE REMOVER
Product Code: RXSOL-25-1747-025
Specialized Descaling Chemical for Marine Water Systems, Seawater Pipelines, Heat Exchangers and Industrial Equipment
RXSOL Marine Water Scale Remover is a specialized chemical cleaning product designed to remove mineral scale, calcium carbonate deposits, magnesium-based deposits, salt-related encrustations and other inorganic fouling from compatible marine water systems and industrial equipment.
Marine water systems frequently experience scaling due to the presence of dissolved calcium, magnesium and other mineral salts in seawater and freshwater. Over time, these deposits accumulate on internal surfaces, reducing water flow, restricting heat transfer and affecting equipment performance.
RXSOL Marine Water Scale Remover is intended to dissolve and loosen stubborn mineral deposits, helping restore system cleanliness, improve water circulation and support efficient operation.
The product is suitable for controlled chemical descaling of compatible seawater cooling systems, heat exchangers, marine pipelines, pumps, condensers and associated water-handling equipment.
LIME Marine is a safe, biodegradable marine descaler developed to dissolve problematic fouling mediums including calcium, rust, mussels, barnacles, tiger shells and other scale formed mineral deposits that hinder the performance of vital water systems. RXLYME Marine is formulated to meet the demands of today's water systems. LIME Marine is non-corrosive, non-hazardous, and biodegradable . With the reduction of labour and operating costs, downtime, and no installation costs, accompanied with the heavy duty cleaning power, LIME Marine keeps your vessel at sea generating revenue.

This safe and simple solution effectively dissolves rock-like scale deposits that contaminate your water-cooled marine equipment. LIME Marine is used at ambient temperature and then circulated to bring the solution in contact with the accumulated minerals. The reaction results in a slight foaming or bubbling action, indicating the deposits are actually dissolving into solution, and then simply water flush away! These scale deposits, along with zebra mussels and tiger shells, damage your equipment and reduce your water system performance. Historically, these problems have been addressed via harsh acids, mechanical methods, ion exchange, polyphosphates, permanent magnets and electronic conditioning. If your vessel is heat exchanger cooled, keel cooled, or radiator cooled, try LIME Marine and ride the waves with maintenance superiority.
Precautions
LIME Marine does not corrode, erode, attack, oxidize or have other deleterious affects on virtually any metal or materials found in marine water systems such as: BRASS, IRON, LEATHER, CERAMIC ,WOOD, FIBER, PLASTICS FIBERGLASS, COPPER, STEEL, TITANIUM ,COPPER NICKEL ,RUBBER, GLASS, GELCOATS PAINTED SURFACES.
LIME Marine is an electrolyte, as are most cleaning agents. An electrolyte is any liquid that will transfer small electrical currents. Examples: salt water, vinegar, Coca-Cola. An electrolyte may cause plating in some types of equipment. This means a transfer of small amounts of one metal onto another metal according to the galvanic corrosion chart. In some instances, a thin coating of copper may be plated onto a steel drum while circulating an electrolyte such as RXLYME Marine. The only time plating occurs is when two dissimilar metals are in an electrolyte solution.
It is recommended, but not mandatory, that the LIME Marine solution be thoroughly mixed before using. Some settling of a dark precipitate may occur, resulting in an amber colored liquid, but has no negative affects upon the performance of the solution.
