Nu-Calgon 4143-01 - Heavy-Duty Coil & Air-Filter Cleaner, CalClean Special HD 55 gal. drum
Nu-Calgon 4143-01 Special HD CalClean is the benchmark in heavy-duty cleaning solutions for HVAC and refrigeration professionals. This 55-gallon drum format is designed for large-scale or frequent maintenance operations, offering an industrial-strength formula that cleans what lesser detergents can’t.
Key Features & Benefits
- Industrial strength formula: Combines surface-active agents, grease solvents, alkaline cleaners, corrosion inhibitors, and water conditioners to tackle grease, dirt, dust, nicotine-tar, and other stubborn soils.
- Safe on many metals: When used at recommended dilutions, it does not corrode or tarnish aluminum or other metals, including microchannel coils and OEM coated coils. Always test compatibility first.
- Biodegradable & NSF registered: Environmentally conscious formulation, meeting standards for safety and regulatory compliance.
- Versatile use cases:
• Outdoor condenser coils – light, medium, or heavy soil at various dilutions.
• Evaporator cleaning – including “no-rinse” methods when humidity allows.
• Electronic air filters – especially effective at removing nicotine tar and grime that ordinary cleaners fail to address.
