ARC 950 is next-generation, dual-action scale dissolution and degreasing powered by a synergistic organic acid matrix. Engineered to replace harsh mineral acids without corrosive fuming, hazardous inhibitors, or transport restrictions.
Operational fouling aboard commercial vessels rarely consists of isolated, uniform scale. Marine vacuum sanitary pipework, black/grey water conduits, and thermal process units develop tough composite matrices where mineral crystals (struvite, calcium carbonate, uric crusts) and rust oxides are interlocked with body fats, fuel grease, and resilient bacterial biofilms.
Conventional single-action descalers often fail because mineral acids cannot penetrate organic grease barriers without a separate pre-degreasing phase, while standard weak acids lack the dissolution kinetics needed for deep-line rehabilitation.

Formulated with a proprietary matrix of natural organic acids and integrated bio-based surfactants, ARC 950 breaks down oily surface binders and dissolves stubborn crystalline scale in a single, high-efficiency treatment cycle
Key Features & Operational Advantages
Dual-Action 2-in-1 Cleaning: Emulsifies grease, oil, and bacterial biofilms while dissolving mineral scale simultaneously—eliminating pre-degreasing and cutting vessel maintenance downtime.
Sustained Scale Dissolution Kinetics: Engineered with multi-stage acid dissociation to maintain active scale-clearing capacity across a broad pH range throughout long pipe runs.
Zero Corrosive Fumes: Exceptionally low vapor pressure eliminates toxic off-gassing, acid vapors, and pungent odors—safeguarding crew respiratory tracts and adjacent electrical switchgear.
Non-ADR Transport Logistics: Not regulated as dangerous goods under ADR road transport rules, drastically reducing global freight surcharges, paperwork, and port-handling delays.
Bio-Reactor & Wastewater Safe: 100% biodegradable and free of bleach, chlorine, ammonia, and phosphates; carries zero aquatic hazard classifications and will not upset onboard sewage treatment plants (STPs).
Superior Substrate Compatibility: Inherently low base-metal corrosion preserves 304/316L stainless steel, copper alloys, and system polymers without requiring harmful, film-forming corrosion inhibitors.
Drop-In CIP Replacement: Seamlessly replaces hydrochloric, phosphoric, or sulfamic acids in circulation loops without re-engineering equipment or dosing protocols.
Vacuum & Gravity Sanitary Systems: Clears severe struvite, calcium carbonate, and uric scale in black/grey water pipe runs, collection tanks, and vacuum interfaces.
Marine Boilers & Steam Loops: Off-line descaling of auxiliary boilers, economizers/exhaust gas boilers, and steam condenser coils, removing scale and magnetite while passivating base steel.
Engine Room Process Equipment (CIP): Rapid circulation descaling of plate and shell heat exchangers, evaporators, box coolers, and fresh water generators.
Ballast Water Treatment Systems (BWTS): Clean-in-Place flushing of quartz sleeves in UV reactors, electrolytic chlorination cells, and filter housings without damaging delicate probes or seals.
Deck Maintenance & Passivation: Safe removal of iron oxide bleed lines, rust stains, and exhaust soot from top-sides and stainless steel fittings.
