Colour: Off white Odour: Odourless Form: Powder pH: 1-2.5 @ 1% w/w in water Bulk Density: 1.3 - 1.5 @ 20°C
Application and Dosage For each 10 litres of solution required first dissolve 1 kg of powder in a small quantity of warm/hot water in a suitable plastic tank or container. Then add the remaining quantity of water. This should provide a solution of sufficient strength to adequately clean a lightly contaminated heat exchanger in a few minutes. For cases where severe contamination of combustion surfaces has occurred, several units are to be cleaned, or where a reduction in the cleaning time is required, the strength of the solution may be increased to 20% w/v (i.e. 2 kg of powder per 10 litres of water). Neutralise prior to disposal using Fernox Superconcentrate System Neutraliser added at a rate of 4 kg System Neutraliser to every 7 kg of DS-10 used.
Note: Fernox DS-10 must not be used with boilers employing aluminium heat exchangers. Refer to manufacturer's service literature for detailed instructions.
Fernox DS-10 must not be mixed with products containing nitrite or with bleaching products.
Packaging, Handling and Storage Fernox DS-10 is supplied in 7 kg containers. Fernox DS-10 is classified as irritant. Keep out of reach of children. Flammable gas (Hydrogen) may be liberated in use: Do not smoke and remove all possible sources of ignition. Contact with metals, in particular zinc, aluminium, magnesium and steel will liberate this gas. Do not mix with other chemicals. Diluted products may only be mixed with Fernox System Neutraliser for disposal.
