Acids
cleaning compounds Acid products are generally used for the removal of hard water deposits (scale) and metal oxide films such as iron oxide (rust). Besides scale removal and derusting, acids are used for metal brightening and surface roughening prior to painting. Other uses include removal of protein deposits in food processing plants.
