CL83 - Revised 10/1/2012
DESCRIPTION
CL83 is a liquid, alkaline cleaner formulated with
soaps, synthetic detergents, and dispersants. It is
highly effective on new boilers and newly installed
boiler tubes, chilled and hot water systems.
APPLICATION
CL83 is specifically formulated to remove mill scale,
dirt, oil, grease, and other organic contaminants. It can
be safely used in boilers, heat exchangers, internal
combustion engines, and closed water systems.
It is essential to thoroughly clean new water systems
to prevent clogging of tubes and piping by dirt and
debris. In addition, maximum effectiveness of water
treatment chemicals used to prevent scale and
corrosion is ensured.

CLEANING PROCEDURES
FOR HEAT EXCHANGERS AND PIPING SYSTEMS:
1. Add CL83 at a rate of 1 gallon per 100 gallons of
capacity while system is being filled.
2. Heat the cleaning solution to 120°F, if possible,
and circulate at least 8 hours. If heat cannot be
provided, double the dosage of CL83. Circulate
cleaning solution for 24-48 hours.
3. After cleaning, drain the system, fill with fresh
water, and thoroughly flush.
FOR BOILER BOIL-OUT:
1. Thoroughly inspect the boiler to ensure the
removal of debris, tools, etc.
2. Replace the regular gauge glass with a temporary
gauge glass that can discard after boiling out.
3. Determine water capacity of the boiler and
calculate requirements of 5484 at a rate of 1 to 3
gallons per 100 gallons.
CLEANER
CL83
4. CL83 may be poured into boiler vent or manhole
after boiler is nearly filled to normal level, but
proportionate feed is preferred.
5. Fire the boiler gradually. Close vent when steam
appears. Build up pressure to about 50% of
working pressure.
6. Continue boil-out for 24-48 hours.
7. During entire boil-out, blow down from all valves at
least once every 8 hours. First blow down from the
surface (or continuous blow) and progress to other
blowdown points lower on the boiler. The total
amount of water blown from all points each time
should be 1/2 to 3/4 of gauge glass.
8. At the end of the boil-out, cool the boiler slowly,
drain and flush with a high pressure hose. Inspect
all parts for cleanliness and freedom from oil and
grease. If initial condition was extremely bad and
surfaces are not entirely clean, the boil-out
process must be repeated.
NOTE: Further instructions are required for high
pressure boilers with superheaters and economizers.
HANDLING & PRECAUTIONS
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Flush
affected eyes or skin with large quantities of water and
obtain medical attention for eyes. Keep container
closed when not in use.
Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for additional
safe handling information.
