Sulphamic Acid Powder (SUMIAC)
Sulphamic Acid Powder (SUMIAC)
Sulphamic Acid is a chemical cleaning product for use on decorative or sensitive surfaces and designed for the removal of hard water scale, light rusting and general surface contamination.
Sulphamic Acid attacks and dissolves lime scale, metal oxides and other metal derivatives from surfaces whilst having little or no effect upon the metals themselves.
Applications
Ideal for removal of light scale from offshore water makers and any equipment used in the manufacture of water and cleaning of filters offshore.
Unlike products based upon mineral acids, Sulphamic Acid may be safely applied to sensitive metals such as those commonly used in domestic appliances, heat exchangers etc. In the event of any acid residues being trapped in minute fissures or complexities, subsequent heating decomposes the active constituents, rather than concentrating them to potentially corrosive levels. Since chloride ions exist in the product only at trace impurity level, the risk of stress corrosion cracking in stainless alloys is minimised. The rate of reaction of Sulphamic Acid is somewhat more temperature sensitive than that of commonly used acid products. A good measure of control over the reaction is therefore possible and treatment of the most sensitive surfaces is possible.
Environmental
Dispose of chemicals in accordance with local environmental legislation, local environment registrations.
Handling
Normal precautions should be taken for handling chemicals. Protective clothing, eye protection and gloves should be worn. For further, details please refer to the safety data sheet.
