Air Conditioner and Refrigeration Coil Cleaners
Coil cleaners are divided
into two categories, acid and base (alkaline).
Acid types are usually made with hydrofluoric acid. They are
typically much more dangerous than alkaline types and not recommended by most
equipment manufacturers.
The alkaline group is
divided into foaming coil cleaners (caustic)
and non-foaming detergent
cleaners. The caustic formulations use sodium hydroxide and tend to be more
aggressive than detergent products.
Always match the coil
cleaner to type of cleaning required. Have questions? Contact your local HVACR
wholesaler for specific answers.
