Closed System Treatment (Formula 0) from Innova Corporate is a versatile, ready-to-use corrosion inhibitor and scale preventative designed for small to medium-sized closed loops in Ahmedabad's commercial and light industrial applications. "Formula 0" typically refers to a nitrite-based treatment (no molybdate or azole, making it economical for budget-conscious operations). It is ideal for chilled water systems (10-500 TR), heating loops (radiator systems), engine jackets (diesel generators), hydraulic systems, and small process cooling loops. For Ahmedabad's small hotels, offices, manufacturing units, and residential complexes with central AC, this product provides adequate protection against rust (mild steel corrosion) and scale (calcium carbonate) at a low cost. The formulation contains sodium nitrite (as an anodic inhibitor, 5-10% by weight), sodium borate or sodium benzoate (pH buffer), and a low level of dispersant (polyacrylate). It maintains a pH between 9-10 (ideal for nitrite stability) and a nitrite residual of 400-800 ppm. Unlike higher-spec treatments (Formula 302), it does not contain copper azole – so if yellow metals (brass, copper, admiralty) are present in the system, we recommend adding a separate tolyltriazole (TTZ) product at 2-5 ppm as active. Initial dosing: add 2-3% by volume of system water (e.g., 20-30 liters per 1000 liters of system volume). Maintenance dose: add 1% of makeup water volume (since closed loops have low makeup, typically 1-5 liters per month for small systems). The product is non-toxic (though nitrites can be harmful if ingested – keep away from drinking water systems). For Ahmedabad's small-scale industries (like rubber processing, small engineering units, and laundries) that have simple closed loops (<5000 liters capacity), this cost-effective treatment extends equipment life by preventing pitting corrosion and general rusting. We supply nitrite test strips (color comparison, 10-400-800-1500 ppm range) and pH strips for easy monitoring – no lab equipment needed. Available in 25L pails and 200L drums. For systems with known microbial issues (e.g., slime or black water), we recommend adding a biocide (isothiazoline or glutaraldehyde) alongside this treatment – Formula 0 has no biocidal properties. For winter operation (rare in Ahmedabad, but occasional chillers), the product provides freeze protection down to -5°C (but not as effective as glycol). For glycol systems, we have a separate compatible inhibitor.
INNOVA CW 000 controls corrosion of piping, valves, pumps and heat exchangers by producing a protective film on all exposed metal surfaces - iron, steel, copper, copper alloys, aluminum and brass. It also prevents deposition of copper on ferrous surfaces by chelating any copper which might be introduced with the make up. This eliminates the possibility of attack caused when the copper deposits on steel to form galvanic cells.
It works effectively over a wide range of conditions, such as in systems of multi-metal construction, where oxygen content is high or where flow is low. In previously untreated systems, INNOVA CW 000 may have a mild dispersing or sloughing action on existing deposits and corrosion products. To prevent trouble which can be caused by this debris, we recommend our INNOVA CW 000 closed system cleaners before beginning the treatment.
Controls corrosion of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Buffering agent automatically adjusts pH at the preferred level. Does not adversely affect pump glands, rubber hose, water seals and valve Packing. Does not contain chromate.Being pre-formulated in liquid form product eliminates the hassles of mixing dry chemicals. Insures good heat transfer and reduces maintenance and operating costs.
Initially about 1.0 kg of INNOVA CW 000 is recommended per m3 of water holding capacity. Any leakage through the system should be compensated with additional quantity of product proportionate to the make up requirement. INNOVA CW 000 Corrosion inhibitor may be fed into the system directly from the container without any dilution.
Tacelene Chem 5000 is available in 25 kgs, 50 kgs & 200 kgs.
