Johnson Screens Unveils New Addition to Descale Family of Nu-Well® Chemicals
New Brighton, November 14th, 2024 – Johnson Screens is proud to announce an addition to the Nu-Well® well cleaning and rehabilitation chemical portfolio in the form of Nu-Well 140 Descale Shield, a unique acid blend that’s a safe and effective alternative to traditional hydrochloric acid treatments for water wells.
Descale Shield can be used for various rehabilitation and cleaning uses but is recommended for tackling heavy deposits of calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate scale. The new cleaning solution is a 34% strength hydrochloric acid that is buffered to reduce its reactivity with skin and metal. Complete with organic and metal inhibitors that are safe for steel well components while providing a deeper, longer-lasting cleaning, Descale Shield lowers pH in water without the use of traditional harsh mineral acids and allows for effective dissolution and cleaning of mineral scale.
Descale Shield has been proven to be 15% faster dissolving in calcium carbonate scale than traditional hydrochloric acid and includes additives to aid in the removal of dissolved iron and calcium as well as a surfactant to improve penetration of the filter pack and formation
Certified to NSF/ANSI 60 specifications for use on potable water systems and wells, Descale Shield carries a triple-zero HMIS score, is rated non-corrosive, non-fuming, 100% biodegradable, non-mutagenic to fish and wildlife, making it an environmentally friendly and fully functional replacement for traditional acids commonly used in well rehabilitation and pipeline cleaning.
Johnson Screens is thrilled to welcome Nu-Well 140 Descale Shield to our family of tried and true well rehabilitation and cleaning chemical solutions!
