T.EM.I.T. Treatment and Maintenance Heating System

What benefits can my heating system achieve and what differences aya rise if corrosion protection is carried out with FILMAX or FILMAX 9.0?

Both products prevent the adhesion of carbonates and protect the system from oxidation and corrosion, the main difference being that FILMAX 9.0 is a corrosion inhibitor that should be used specifically in those cases where the liquid circulating in the system does not exert sufficient passivation on the metal parts of which it is composed, for example, after excessive exploitation of the circulating antifreeze, it becomes necessary to replenish the package of inhibitory salts.

Noises in the boiler are the result of localized boiling of water. This happens when the inner surface of the boiler overheats due to scale deposits or heat-hardened sludge. Over five years, all systems can suffer from noise, and new boilers in old systems are particularly vulnerable. FILMAX 8.0 is an ideal FDA product to solve this kind of problem because of its special anti-noise, deoxygenating and deferrizing action.

Yes, DISINEX is an inhibited acid-based descaling agent with a color-depletion indicator that can be used in a wide range of applications: to remove rust and corrosion from metal structures, to remove lime scale from pipes and closed circulation systems of boilers and heat exchangers, to pickle concrete, and to remove traces of oxidation from various metals. The initial pink coloration of DISINEX changes to orange-yellow when the acid has lost effectiveness.

Once the sealing of the system has taken place, the product can remain in the circuit for a maximum of thirty days; after that, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with water.
