PRODUCT BULLETIN
RXSOL ALCA SOLUTION
Product Category: Marine Boiler Water Treatment Chemicals Product Type: Alkalinity Control / Boiler Water pH Adjustment Brand: RXSOL
1. Product Description
RXSOL ALCA SOLUTION is a liquid alkaline treatment chemical designed to maintain the required alkalinity and pH in marine and industrial boiler water systems.
Proper boiler water alkalinity is essential for minimizing acidic corrosion, supporting effective phosphate treatment and maintaining suitable operating conditions within the boiler.
RXSOL ALCA SOLUTION is intended to correct low boiler water pH and maintain the alkaline conditions required for reliable boiler operation.
The product can be incorporated into a coordinated boiler water treatment programme alongside oxygen scavengers, hardness control chemicals and condensate treatment products.

5. Working Principle
RXSOL ALCA SOLUTION increases the alkalinity of boiler water and helps maintain the required pH.
Proper alkalinity control helps minimize corrosion caused by acidic conditions and supports the performance of other boiler water treatment chemicals.
However, excessive alkalinity may contribute to foaming, carryover, caustic concentration and other operational problems.
The treatment must therefore be controlled through regular boiler water analysis.
6. Directions for Use
-
Test boiler water pH and alkalinity.
-
Compare the results with the boiler manufacturer's recommended operating limits.
-
Calculate the required chemical dosage based on the boiler water volume and product concentration.
-
Introduce the chemical through an approved dosing system.
-
Allow adequate circulation and mixing.
-
Retest the boiler water and adjust dosing as required.
-
Maintain appropriate blowdown and routine water testing.
Important: Do not dose concentrated alkaline chemical directly into an unsuitable or isolated section of the system. Follow the equipment manufacturer's chemical injection requirements.

8. Safety & Handling
-
Read the latest Safety Data Sheet before use.
-
Wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye/face protection.
-
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
-
Do not mix concentrated product with acids.
-
Use suitable chemical-resistant dosing equipment.
-
Store in tightly closed, compatible containers.
-
Prevent uncontrolled discharge into the environment.
Warning: Concentrated alkaline formulations may be corrosive. Hazard classification must be based on the actual chemical composition.
9. Storage
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible chemicals.
Keep containers tightly closed and properly labelled.
Protect from contamination and extreme temperatures.
10. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is RXSOL ALCA SOLUTION used for?
It is intended to raise and maintain boiler water alkalinity and pH.
Q2. Can it prevent boiler corrosion?
Maintaining proper alkalinity helps reduce corrosion caused by acidic boiler water, but complete corrosion control also requires appropriate oxygen control and overall water chemistry management.
Q3. Can it be used with oxygen scavengers?
It may be incorporated into a boiler treatment programme containing a compatible oxygen scavenger. Concentrated products should not be mixed directly unless compatibility has been confirmed.
Q4. Is ALCA SOLUTION the same as a condensate neutralizing amine?
No. ALCA SOLUTION is intended primarily for boiler water alkalinity control. Neutralizing amines are used mainly to control pH and carbonic acid corrosion in steam and condensate systems.
Q5. What is the recommended dosage?
Dosage depends on the chemical concentration, boiler water analysis and operating requirements. A product-specific dosage cannot be established without these details.
