Speed up scale removal while keeping bath control tight in your sulphuric and mixed-acid pickling lines.
Heavy mill scale slows lines, forces higher acid strengths, and creates rework. Our descaling accelerators are engineered to boost pickling efficiency without losing control of metal loss or bath stability.
They enhance acid action on scale, help dissolve stubborn oxide layers, and support brighter, more uniform steel surfaces across strip, tube, wire, and section processing.
By accelerating scale removal, our additives help reduce pickling time per coil, supporting higher line speeds and better asset utilisation.
Improved attack on oxide layers leads to cleaner steel surfaces, better coating and galvanizing response, and more consistent downstream quality.
More efficient descaling means you can maintain performance at moderate acid strengths, helping reduce acid consumption and spent-acid load.
Integrating Elite AquaChem descaling accelerators into your pickling baths is straightforward and does not require major equipment changes.
Charge the tank with sulphuric or mixed-acid composition as per your standard practice and bring the bath to operating temperature.
Dose the selected descaling accelerator to the bath as a percentage of total volume, based on Elite AquaChem recommendations for your line and steel grades.
Proceed with your normal pickling cycle for line speed, time, and temperature. The accelerator strengthens the action on scale while working alongside your inhibitor package.
Whenever you adjust acid strength or replenish the bath, add accelerator proportionally to keep descaling performance and bath behaviour consistent over long runs.
Yes. Our descaling accelerators are designed to be added to existing sulphuric and mixed-acid baths with minimal change to your current operating window. We recommend a quick compatibility and dosage check for each line.
No, when used with a proper inhibitor package. The accelerators intensify the attack on scale and oxide deposits, while corrosion inhibitors in the bath protect the steel surface against excessive metal loss.
They are widely used in steel strip, tube, pipe, bar, and wire pickling lines, and in many industrial descaling circuits such as heat exchangers and condensers where fast, controlled scale removal is critical.
