Identification & Functionality

Features & Benefits

Ready-to-Use Product Features
Advantages
  • Contains cationic inhibitors and non-ionic surfactants with surface-active character. This results in a reduction in surface tension, which leads to immediate wetting of the surfaces to be cleaned.
  • This reduces the incubation time, i.e. the time until the start of the dissolution process of the deposits to be removed.
  • Furthermore, this emulsifies oily contaminants, disperses dirt particles and facilitates subsequent rinsing processes.
Advantages of LITHSOLVENT Cleaning Concentrates

LITHSOLVENT cleaners are intended for customers who do not have the option to prepare their own cleaning solutions. Generally, they are inhibited methanesulfonic, formic, hydrochloric, amidosulfonic, citric and phosphoric acids, formulated for different cleaning temperatures and materials.

LITHSOLVENT CL4 - Advantages of Lithsolvent Cleaning Concentrates

Specific Advantages
  • Works at temperatures up to 90 °C
  • Is suitable as inhibitor for amidosulfonic, hydrofluoric, phosphoric and organic acids
  • Does not interfere with the dissolution of mineral scale
  • Contains cationic inhibitors and non-ionic surfactants with surface-active character – this results in a reduction of surface tension, which leads to immediate wetting of the surfaces to be cleaned
  • Reduces the incubation time, the time until the start of the dissolution process of the scale to be removed

Areas of Application

Formaldehyde-free inhibitor for amidosulfonic, hydrofluoric, phosphoric and organic acids.

Areas of Application

Areas of application for acidic solutions inhibited with LITHSOLVENT CL 4

  • Chemical cleaning with hydrofluoric acid solutions for the removal of rust, scale and magnetite (Fe3 O4 ) from boilers, production plants, piping systems, etc., in recirculation and continuous processes.
  • Chemical cleaning of boilers, pipelines, etc. with organic acids.
  • The inhibitor does not reduce the efficient dissolution of the mineral scale by the acid.
Coverings

Inorganic scale such as calcium carbonate, calcium oxalate, silicates, occasionally phosphates, aconates, citrates, depending on water use, also sulfates or organic coatings.

Examples / Best Practice

Excellent for pickling in boilers in hydrofluoric acid. Suppresses hydrogen permeation even in the presence of hydrogen sulfide.
