PetrolAid™ RDX

1 of 2 products in this brand
Petrolaid™ RDX is a low pH organic salt designed to replace traditional acids like hydrochloric, citric, phosphoric, formic, and sulfuric acids. It releases hydrogen ions on demand to dissolve calcium scale and iron oxide, offering a cost-effective and high-performance alternative. It is DOT non-regulated, non-fuming, non-corrosive to most metals, phosphate-free, and low in BOD/COD contribution.

Labeling Claims: Non-Corrosive, Phosphate-free

Oil & Gas Applications
Application Areas
  • PetrolAid™ RDX is used to stimulate oil production by dissolving the carbonate bedrock to produce fissures in the oil bearing rock formation
  • PetrolAid™ RDX is used to dissolve calcium & magnesium carbonate downhole to allow for more efficient oil production especially for the stimulation of mature wells.
  • PetrolAid™ RDX is used to clean pumps and metal pipes efficiently without corrosion related issues typically related to the use of Hydrochloric acid.
  • Cement Trucks, Equipment, and Tools Cleaners
  • Cleaners for Most Metals and Rust Removers
  • Unlike Hydrochloric Acid, Petrolaid RDX doesn’t require the addition of chemical additives to slow down the reaction with the rock matrix, or the need for expensive acid inhibitors or intensifiers
