Tana-Chemie is now adding a sustainable descaler to the Green Care Professional range. The formula is completely biodegradable and impresses with its powerful performance.

Corrosion protection for value retention and a wide range of applications

With its highly biodegradable methanesulfonic acid, Calc off scores highly in the quick and effective removal of limescale, calcium deposits, and soap residues. The added corrosion inhibitors form a protective layer on iron, steel, and non-ferrous metals, extending the service life of appliances. This means that the descaler can also be used on copper (up to a 10% solution) and stainless-steel heating elements.

Particularly suitable for microporous surfaces

The new Calc off is low-foaming thanks to the absence of surfactants. This makes it particularly suitable for microporous surfaces such as fine stoneware. Thanks to its low-foaming formula, washing machines and kitchen appliances such as coffee machines, beverage dispensers, and dishwashers can also be descaled particularly well. Free from fragrances and colorants, Calc off is perfectly suited for use in kitchen hygiene.

The overall package offered by Calc off is rounded off by an economical application concentration starting at just 0.25% and the prevention of new limescale deposits with regular use.
