Is Pipeline Dredger Harmful
Chemical water pipe cleaning products are corrosive and can cause serious chemical burns, while water pipe cleaning agents containing sulfuric acid can cause additional flame combustion. They are very harmful to skin and meat, so pay attention to safety and wear gloves when using. Keep away from children
Generally, the strong alkalinity of pipeline cleaning agents or other pipeline cleaning agents sold in supermarkets mainly contains sodium hydroxide. In some areas, there are potassium hydroxide pipeline cleaning agents to achieve better cleaning effect. Some other chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite will also be cleaned
In addition, many hardware stores also sell sodium hydroxide flakes or granules (commonly known as "Goldberg" in Hong Kong), put it into the basin to add tap water. However, in the process of adding water, there will be exothermic reaction, so when using it, it should be slowed down to avoid the high temperature in the pipe, causing it to spill out and causing accidents
In addition, the liquid water pipe cleaning agent also has strong acidity, mainly containing sulfuric acid, which is also sold in hardware stores. Water contains high concentration of sulfuric acid, which is a very corrosive cleaning agent, and it also contains strong dehydration (it can absorb the complex molecules in water, especially the objects that can contain carbohydrates, such as paper and cloth or towel fabric, can be quickly eroded and worn), Strong acid water pipe cleaning agent and water will have a very strong exothermic reaction and overflow, causing danger
Therefore, many of these types of water pipes will instruct the user to keep the channel dry before use. In addition, these water pipe cleaners can also be dyed in industrial processes (such as black or grayish brown) to raise awareness. In addition, manufacturers can add certain chemicals to reduce acid corrosion on metal pipes to protect the channel
