Rust Cleaners - Fast Acting, Eco-friendly Rust Chemicals

Image
Rusting, a type of corrosion, commonly found in machinery, occurs in iron and its alloys when they are exposed in moist air. After being exposed in moist air, reddish coating of oxide is formed on them, that causes multiple detrimental effects in the system. The rusting of iron is a chemical change because it is the reaction between two substances reacting together to create a new substance. Rusting is an irreversible procedure. We can remove rust from metal or any metal instrument however we can’t get back the mass quantity that has been changed over to rust. It is considered as best practice if we remove the existing rust earlier, then take necessary steps for its inhibition. It prevents the gradual loss of metal with time. Rusting and pitting corrosion of metals are seriously detrimental, that can create a major loss in productivity and stability of any functional system, also they cause degradation of steel and iron structures, such as bridges, automobiles etc. Rusting in el

Catalyzed Hydrazine Hydrate - For Boiler Maintenance

Image
Boilers are used for heating water at more than its initial temperature for adequate steam generation. Water is used as a heating agent in boilers, as it is abundant, inexpensive and easily available. Due to the many dissolved salts present, some residue contaminants affect the quality of steam. This may cause many deficiencies in system including scaling, foaming, priming and corrosion. For ceaseless execution of process, these deficiencies should be treated with time, this strategy prevents any disruptions and detrimental effects in the boiler system. Dissolved gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide will react with the metals in the boiler system and lead to boiler corrosion. In order to protect the boiler from these malfunctions, some specific conditioning agents are used in subsequent treatment processes. Catalyzed Hydrazine Hydrate is a hydrated solution of hydrazine. It is especially used in boilers, where it works as Oxygen Scavenger and removes the excess oxygen in feed w

Defoamers - Overview of Their Working Process and Types

Image
Foams are by-product generated in different chemical and industrial processes. Excess foam generation in industrial processes can cause bad impact on product quality, surface coatings and efficiency of operations. Defoamers destabilize the existing foam generated. It works with multiple process mechanisms including knocking down surface foam, releasing intentional air in the solution and breaking foams effectively.  As per the types, applications and usage there are categorized mainly as Silicone based defoamers and Food grade defoamers. Silicone Based Defoamers : Silicone based defoamers have hydrophobic silica, a linear polysiloxane having  end-blocked polyoxypropylene groups, a polysiloxane having a pendant polyoxypropylene group, a nonionic surfactant and preferably an inert diluent. These are especially used in paints and coatings, detergents, oil refining, paper and pulping industry etc.  Acuro Organics Limited offers a range of silicone based defoamers, characteri
