KC - 1004 is a range of high purity synthetic cleaners, used to remove alkaline scales and metal oxide deposits from membranes and associated pipe work. Grades Offered: LOW PH RO CLEANER. Specifications PH (as such) 4.0 to 5.0 Appearance Transparent Liquid Specific Gravity 1.02 to 1.05 Contents Organo acid and polymer Detailed Description Reverse Osmosis systems uses following additives to prevent fouling, scaling and biofouling of RO membranes in order to optimise reverse osmosis recovery rates, improve operational efficiency of RO plant and reduce problems associated: Scale is the precipitate that forms on surfaces in contact with water as a result of the precipitation of normally soluble solids that become insoluble as temperature increases. Some examples of scale are calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, and calcium silicate. Scale inhibitors are surface-active negatively charged polymers. As minerals exceed their solubility ;s and begin to merge, the polymers become attached. The structure for crystallisation is disrupted and the formation of scale is prevented. The particles of scale combined with the inhibitor will than be dispersed and remain in suspension. Scaling Scaling is concerned with the seclusion of suspended inorganic particles, such as calcium carbonate, barium sulfate and iron compounds. Safety Handling KC 1004 is generally safe but avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not take internally. Gloves and goggles should be used while handling the product. Packing KC - 1004 available in 5 kg and 30 kg containers
