Production and Energy Savings with Naxidic Acid
Naxidic Acid Is Designed to Improve Production
The key to the problem is the evolving hydrogen gas. When you begin to effectively work with this gas many of the problems associated with pickling are solved.
Conventional inhibitors tend to smother this gas whereas WIM Naxidic Acid, Your acid + WIM Naxid additives, quickly pulls this H2 away from the surface freeing up the acid to continue its attack on the soluble oxides quickly and efficiently..
This results in
- Faster scale removal
- Shorter immersion times
- Iron build up is retarded
- Ability to pickle cooler*
- Surfaces are pickled cleaner and brighter
- Production is not effected using a cooler temperature
- Tank life is increased
- Recovered acid is more active
Energy Savings
Batch picklers can save about $1.00 - $1.50 per gallon of pickle solution per year. with a 5°F reduction.
Continuous strip lines average $2.00 per gallon of pickle volume per year in energy savings with a 5°F reduction. A 10°F reduction is typical using a WIM Naxid additive.
WIM has been developing additives for pickling for over sixty years.
Naxidic Acid is the result of that experience.
Naxidic compounds improve acid properties. And lets you pickle cooler!
