W-AIDE Biodegradable System
Descaler
DESCRIPTION
W-AIDE is a non-hazardous, non-
FLO
corrosive, non-injurious, nontoxic and
biodegradable descaler that is heavily
fortified with wetting and penetrating
agents which actually dissolve water
scale, lime, mud, rust, and other water
formed deposits from water operated
equipment.
RECOMMENDED USES
FLO
W-AIDE is a nontoxic concentrate
which is certified to NSF/ANSI 60 for use
as a cleaner in potable water systems.
FLOW-AIDE is NSF registered for use in
beverage, pharmaceutical, bottling,
poultry, and other food processing plants.
USFDA has no jurisdiction over the
product, since it does not come in contact
with food.
Suitable for use on:
Boilers
Chillers
Condensers
Evaporators
Heat Exchangers
Humidifiers
FLOW-AIDE has the ability to dissolve
approximately two pounds (0.91 kg) of
calcium carbonate scale per U.S. gallon
while at 70°F (21°C), and in concentrated
form. If the FLOW-AIDE is diluted, it will
still dissolve two pounds per gallon, but
will require additional circulating time.

CERTIFICATION
FLO
W-AIDE is NSF/ANSI 60 approved.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
FLOW-AIDE is biodeg radable w ith a BOD
value of 16 mg/l. This normally allows the
solution to be water flushed down plant
sewers. Check with local ordinances and
regulations in your area prior to disposal.
FLOW-AIDE contains no volatile organic
compounds (VOC).
CORROSIVENESS
W-AIDE does not corrode, erode,
FLO
attack, oxidize or have other harmful
effects on virtually any metal or materials
commonly found in water systems such
as: copper, fiber, leather, iron, rubber,
steel, titanium, glass or other materials
found in heat exchangers, vacuum pumps,
evaporators, condensers, and/or other
water cooled, water heated or water
operated equipment, when used as
directed.
LIMITATIONS
hen using 100% concentrated (non-
W
diluted) FLOW-AIDE on magnesium, zinc,
and/or aluminum, it could oxidize or pit.
Furthermore, polished chrome and some
alloys of stainless steel could become
discolored. It is not recommended for use
with concentrated solutions. If the alloy is
designed for use in a water system
(aluminum engine block, aluminum mold,
etc.) the alloy should be compatible with
the FLOW-AIDE solution. Otherwise, it is
recommended that the FLOW-AIDE be
diluted 50% or more with water when
cleaning.
