Lime, rust & cement
Limescale, rust and cement are mineral deposits that can be removed using acidic cleaners. Eco-Nova offers Oxinova, Novascal and Meganova for this purpose – each tailored to the specific deposit and material. These cleaners are labelled as corrosive; we can advise you on selection, dosage and safety precautions.
That’s what it’s all about
Problem and Solution
The challenge
Limescale reduces heat transfer and constricts pipes; rust weakens metal components; and cement and concrete residues harden on machinery and mixers. Mechanical removal takes a long time and often damages the surface; the wrong acids can corrode metals and joints.
Our solution
We identify the type of deposit and the material to which it is adhering, and recommend the appropriate cleaner and dosage. This allows you to remove deposits chemically rather than mechanically. The product must be used with protective equipment in accordance with the safety data sheet – on request, we can demonstrate how to use it on site.
Typical areas of application
- Descaling of systems, boilers and pipework
- Removing rust from metal parts
- Cement and concrete residues on construction machinery and mixers
- Mineral-based flooring and tiles
- Efflorescence on walls and façades

Technical articles & success stories
Reliably remove limescale, rust and cement deposits
Limescale, rust and organic residues occur wherever water and oxygen favour oxidation or deposits. They occur particularly frequently on metals such as pipework or on mineral floors such as tiles. Such deposits are not only unsightly, but can also cause long-term damage to materials and systems.
Risks associated with conventional cleaning
Many conventional cleaning products are based on harsh acids or abrasive methods. If used incorrectly, they can damage materials, promote corrosion and increase maintenance requirements.
Solution with Eco-Nova industrial cleaners
Our cleaners are designed to tackle different types of deposits. They reliably remove limescale, rust and cement residues without you having to use more than is necessary. The cleaners in this category are classified as corrosive; please refer to the safety data sheet for information on protective equipment.
Areas of application & advice
