Heavy Duty Acidic CIP Detergent Descaler
Heavy Duty Acidic CIP Detergent Descaler is a high-performance, concentrated acidic cleaning chemical designed for Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) operations in marine, offshore and industrial water-borne systems. It is specially formulated to dissolve and remove difficult inorganic scale deposits, mineral fouling, rust, salts and other contaminants without requiring equipment dismantling.
The product is suitable for use in heat exchangers, water pipelines, water heaters, boilers, tanks, cooling systems and air heaters. Controlled circulation through a CIP system helps provide uniform cleaning and reduces equipment downtime. (Marine Chemicals)
Heavy Duty Acidic CIP Detergent Descaler Scale Offshore is a highly concentrated acidic cleaning agent engineered for efficient removal of mineral scale and deposits while remaining mild to personnel, equipment, and the environment. It is classified as PLONOR (Poses Little or No Risk to the environment), making it suitable for use in environmentally sensitive offshore and marine applications. The product contains RXSOL active agents, a 100% natural, health- and environmentally optimized substrate, delivering powerful cleaning performance with a reduced ecological footprint. Its biodegradable formulation supports safer handling, minimizes environmental impact, and aligns with modern sustainability and regulatory requirements.

Before application, always verify the equipment manufacturer's recommendations, chemical compatibility and the applicable product technical bulletin/SDS.
Why Use an Acidic CIP Descaler?
Regular scale accumulation can reduce heat-transfer efficiency, restrict water circulation and increase energy consumption. CIP descaling provides a practical way to clean internal surfaces without dismantling equipment, helping reduce maintenance time and operational downtime.
Heavy Duty Acidic CIP Detergent Descaler is therefore suitable for marine, offshore, industrial water-treatment and process-equipment maintenance applications where controlled chemical circulation is preferred.
Safety
This is an acidic chemical and should be handled according to its current SDS and technical instructions. Appropriate chemical-resistant gloves, eye/face protection and suitable protective clothing should be used. Do not mix acidic CIP cleaners with bleach, chlorinated products, ammonia or incompatible alkaline chemicals. (RxMarine)

Hand protection
Wear suitable gloves. Chemical protection gloves are suitable, which are tested according to EN 374.
For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves. The times are approximate values from
measurements at 22 ° C and permanent contact. Increased temperatures due to heated substances, body heat etc. and a reduction of the effective layer thickness by stretching can lead to a considerable reduction of the breakthrough time. If in doubt, contact manufacturer. At an approx. 1.5 times larger / smaller layer thickness, the respective breakthrough time is doubled / halved. The data apply only to the pure substance. When transferred to substance mixtures, they may only be considered as a guide.
Type of material
NBR (Nitrile rubber)
Material thickness
