Product Information
Full details
The Suma Scale D5.2 Descaler is an essential maintenance tool for commercial kitchens, designed for professionals who need to efficiently remove stubborn limescale and oxide film from food-contact surfaces. It provides the key benefit of restoring performance to heating elements and appliances like coffee machines and dishwashers, ensuring longer equipment life and better sanitation. A critical caveat is that the acidic formula is highly reactive and cannot be used on copper, brass, or aluminum surfaces, which requires careful surface identification before application.

FAQs
Can I use this on all kitchen metals?
No. Suma Scale D5.2 is specifically formulated for stainless steel and chrome. It is not suitable for copper, brass, or aluminum.
How long should I leave it on a dishwasher?
For dishwashers, you should allow for a 30-minute contact time to ensure deep penetration of the mineral deposits.
How much solution does one bottle make?
Each 5-litre bottle of concentrate makes approximately 25 standard trigger spray bottles.
Is this product safe for food-contact surfaces?
Yes, it is food-safe, provided that all surfaces are thoroughly rinsed with clean water after the descaling process is complete.
What is the contact time for general kitchen equipment?
For general items like kettles or utensils, a contact time of 10-15 minutes is typically sufficient.
Troubleshooting
Scale deposits remain after application
Ensure the surface has been fully cleaned of grease prior to descaling. Re-apply and allow for the full recommended contact time.
Surface appears dull or discolored after use
You may have applied the product to an incompatible metal like aluminum. Discontinue use immediately and neutralize with plenty of water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the solution, always dilute the concentrate according to the manufacturer's specified ratios for your particular application. Before application, ensure that the target surface is made of stainless steel or chrome; do not apply to copper, brass, or aluminum as irreversible pitting and damage will occur.
Always work in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves and eye protection). After the required contact time, thoroughly rinse all surfaces with clean water until the pH is neutral. Store bottles upright in a cool, dry area away from direct heat and incompatible chemical agents.
