Safety Practices:-
1. Do not permit BCS - CLEANER 1101/1104 or prepared solutions to come in contact with skin or clothing or to splash into eyes.
2. Do not permit BCS - CLEANER 1101/1104 to splash on concrete floors, as it attacks lime in the concrete. If solution does get on concrete surface, apply an alkaline solution to neutralize.
3. Descaling operations should be performed away from all fire, sparks or other ignition sources.
4. Depending on type of scale being removed and the metals with which the solution will come in contact, various gases will be formed. Under ordinary conditions the action of BCS - CLEANER 1101/1104 solution on lime scale and rust results in the formation of harmless gases. However, when the solution comes in contact with Aluminium, Zinc, Cadmium, tin, sulfates, arsenic or cyanides, other gases, some poisonous and some explosive may be generated. The best practice when descaling is being done is closed equipment is to install proper ventilation to carry the gases away. When an open tank is used gases should be diluted by adequate air flow above the tank.
5. Always fill closed units from the bottom up.
6. Be sure that there are no leaks in heat exchange systems that will permit the solution to leak into the opposite side of the solution. Good practice is to fill the opposite side with water to a level higher than the BCS - CLEANER 1101/1104 solution
7. Use an acid-proof or an expendable pump.
8. When mixing with water, pour BCS - CLEANER 1101/1104 in to water, never add water to acid.
9. Do not agitate acid solution with air.
10. Application of BCS - CLEANER 1101/1104 should be followed by a through rinsing, then neutralization with BCS - CLEANER 1101/1104 to remove all acidic residue.
11. If the BCS - CLEANER 1101/1104 is to be held for any length or time, either an acid-proof, wooden or synthetic rubber lined steel con short-time, either an acid-proof, wooden or synthetic rubber lined steel container should be used. For short-time holding (8-12 hours maximum), an ordinary steel is acceptable.
12. If possible, dissimilar metals should be removed prior to descaling to prevent electronic action that might interfere with inhibiting action. Do lot use BCS - CLEANER 1101/1104 to descale Zinc, Aluminium, Stainless or Galvanized metals.
Disposal Consult with the appropriate regularity agency concerning requirements for discharge of acid solution.
