Acid replacement comparison

For serious rust and scale, compare the whole job.

Compare how much buildup each product removes, how long it takes, and what it costs to finish the system.

VertKleen HCR vs CLR PRO MAX

Line	Pack math	Per gallon
VertKleen HCR	/ 5 gal =
CLR PRO MAX	$1,600-$1,800 / 55 gal = $29.09-$32.73/gal	$29.09-$32.73/gal

Pack price is only one input. Product use, cycle time, water, labor, and downtime decide the real cost.

On heavily scaled equipment, HCR broke through rust and mineral buildup and left the metal visibly clean.

In corrosion testing, HCR showed up to 280× less corrosion than hydrochloric acid.

CLR / Calci-Solve	Rust, scale, calcium, and heat-transfer fouling	VertKleen HCR for heavy rust and scale; Descaler when the job is coil-specific line cleaning.

One real rust-and-scale job

A small spot and a scaled industrial system are very different jobs. Compare both products on the buildup and equipment you actually need to clean.

Pick one job. Use the same kind of equipment, buildup, crew, tools, and finished result for both products.
Write down what happens. Track the mix, working time, rinses, crew time, and downtime.
Look at the finished result. Compare remaining rust and scale, flow, surface condition, and any repeat work.
Count the whole job. Add product, labor, water, equipment time, repeat cleaning, downtime, and cleanup.

Every VertKleen product MASEST offers is HMIS 0-0-0 and ships non-hazmat. Routine cleaning needs no special ventilation or area clearance.

That means serious cleaning power with simpler freight, storage, training, and day-to-day handling across the line.

Send the current cleaner, mix, cycle time, labor, water, downtime, and finished result.
