Save Time and Money with Cortec’s EcoClean® Biodegradable Scale and Rust Remover powered by Nano VpCI®!

Buildup of scale and corrosion is a common occurrence in pipes and systems in constant contact with water. Waterborne minerals such as calcium carbonate naturally build up over time and accumulate on metal surfaces in thick layers of scale. Moist environments like this are also a breeding ground for rust and corrosion. Scale and corrosion slow down water flow, decrease heat-exchange efficiency, increase energy use, and incur costly downtime.
