Sulfamic acid is used to clean dentures.
Yes, sulfamic acid can be used to clean lime and scale deposits on slate tiles. It is effective in breaking down these deposits without damaging the slate surface. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and use proper safety precautions when handling sulfamic acid.
Depending on the strength of the hydrochloric, you may etch the copper.Believe it or not, the best thing that I have found to clean copper (or brass) is ketchup. Smear it on, wait a few minutes, rinse it off.
Sulfamic acid may be too aggressive for cleaning brass as it can potentially cause corrosion to the metal. It's recommended to use mild brass cleaners specifically designed for the task to avoid damaging the brass surface.
So far, I would say no. I did find a recipe for citric acid, though: 10g citric acid for every 200 mL of dH2O. We have a table top Market Forge autoclave that needs water manually added (3.8L each time), so this has been the easiest way to clean it. Add the mixture to the autoclave and run... a lot of the scale will come right off! Hope this helps.
It is generally not recommended to use rubbing alcohol on dentures as it can damage the material and affect the fit. It is best to use denture-specific cleaning products recommended by your dentist to properly clean and maintain your dentures.
Most acids will remove limescale which is basically calcium carbonate. Even though sulfamic acid is classed as a weak acid and does not produce many protons, it does produce some. The generic equation for this reaction is: CaCO3 + 2H+ -----> Ca2+ (soluble and can be washed away) + H2O + CO2 Sulfamic acid prefers calcium carbonate ("lime" or "scale" over metal). There are "inhibited" sulfamic acids that actually are even better at "choosing" the scale over the metal surfaces. Basically, the acid attacks the scale and re-dissolves it adding a H molecule to the carbonate, making bicarbonate. This, then weakens the crystalline structure and forces the Calcium (+2) to reach for stabilizing electrons from the water. Some dissolves, most falls off into solution. When removing calcium carbonate, sulfamic acid should not be in the system for more than 8 hours, or passivation of metal (referring to galvanized steel) will deteriorate and require repassivation with phosphate treatments. However, in cases of severe scaling, this may be the only way. Typically, it takes two (2) pounds of sulfamic acid per every one (1) pound of scale. So buying tubs of sulfamic acid at 100 pounds each isn't uncommon. AFCO and many other suppliers have these ready to go.
Advantages: ·Is safe to use as does not produce chlorine gas which can be toxic ·It has a low volatility ·It has a low toxicity · It forms water soluble salts of calcium and ferric iron Disadvantages: It is quite expensive compared to hydrochloric acid
Yes, Fixodent is safe to use with soft lined dentures. You can use any of the Fixodent products with these kinds of dentures.
To clean chrome dentures, start by rinsing them under warm water to remove debris. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush along with a non-abrasive denture cleaner or mild soap to gently brush all surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the chrome. Rinse thoroughly and store them in a clean, dry place when not in use.

You may use muriatic acid to clean tile or slate floors if you encounter stains on them. It will need to be diluted in order to be useful.
Muriatic acid can be used to clean dishwashers. Muriatic acid is very strong and should only be used occasionally for cleaning the dishwasher.
