Nu-Calgon 4149-05 - Ice Machine Cleaner, 5 Gallon Container 5 gal. pail
Nu-Calgon 4149-05 - Ice Machine Cleaner, 5 Gallon Container 5 gal. pail
Nu-Calgon’s Cal-Treat (Part # 4149-05) is a high-performance liquid chemical formulation, specially engineered to protect water-cooled systems—such as condensers, cooling towers, boilers, and chillers—from corrosion, scale buildup, and metal deterioration. Ideal for industrial and commercial HVAC/R applications, especially where water is soft or of low alkalinity.
Key Features & Benefits
- Advanced corrosion inhibition: Combines organic phosphonates, polyacrylates (for silt/particulate dispersion), zinc and molybdate inhibitors, and benzotriazole for copper protection.
- Scale prevention: Helps prevent scale formation on critical heat transfer surfaces—keeping systems efficient and reducing energy and maintenance costs.
- Optimized for soft, low-alkalinity water: Especially effective when makeup water has total alkalinity under ~30 ppm, or where corrosion is already visible.
- High-value packaging: Supplied in a 5-gallon pail—suitable for large systems or frequent maintenance cycles.
