Expert Analysis
Uses sodium mercaptoacetate at 10-20% concentration as the primary iron chelator in a gel matrix designed for superior surface cling. The F.R.G. (Fluid Reverse in Gel) technology maintains liquid-like application properties while providing gel-level adhesion, allowing for extended dwell times even when diluted.
Key Differentiators
- •Proprietary F.R.G. gel technology that combines liquid flowability with gel adhesion properties
- •Maintains effectiveness when diluted due to concentrated 10-20% active ingredient loading
- •Anti-limescale formulation addresses both iron contamination and mineral deposits
