Sulfamic Acid also called as amido sulfuric acid with the formula H3NSO3 is a white crystalline solid which is non-hygroscopic and stable. It is commercially produced from fuming sulfuric acid and urea, and classified as a strong inorganic acid.
Sulfamic Acid is an extremely efficient agent for descaling, it is known for cleaning rust, scale, and lime deposits from industrial equipment especially boilers, condensers, cooling towers, pipelines, and commercial appliances. It finds application in many desalination plants to clean the heat exchanger for the removal of the scale of mineral deposits, removing excess grout on tiles, etc.
Sulfamic Acid descalants work by removing calcium and magnesium ions from water. These minerals cause scales to build up inside pipes and plumbing fixtures. This scale build-up can lead to clogs and other issues with your home's plumbing system which leads to massive loss.
Eliminating limescale deposits is required for running machines efficiently and smoothly, preventing equipment malfunction and failure. Sulphamic acid has desirable water-descaling properties, and low volatility, so it is commonly used as a chemical descaler to resolve challenges. They also reduce the amount of chlorine that gets added to the water supply.
