Limescale prevention treatment is a new service which, thanks to particular equipment and the use of repellent products, enables the total removal of limescale, protecting the treated surface from the rapid return of this unsightly problem. In fact, use of the treatment leads to the distribution of a thin protective film that makes surfaces smooth and prevents new limescale formation.
The areas most often affected are those having greatest contact with water (showers, pipes, taps, spa areas, etc.).
In nature, limescale is present due to the ‘dissolution’ of limestone in the path of water from the source downstream; calcium and magnesium salts constitute its hardness.
The crystallisation/precipitation of limescale is encouraged both by the increase in water temperature and by the presence of pipes with a corroded or not very smooth surface (in fact the phenomenon occurs much more on iron pipes than on Teflon pipes); also when pipes have a section that is not particularly large and, therefore, the water that circulates there undergoes an increase in pressure. In short, at high temperatures and pressures limescale crystallises with greater ease, because by heating the water the hardness produces a chemical reaction with the formation of calcium carbonate and magnesium (commonly called limescale) and carbon dioxide.
Scientifically speaking, limescale is a calcium carbonate deposit that is created in the presence of water which has particular “hardness”.
Leaving a gloss patina preserves and delays the return of limescale
With visible results right from the first treatment
The service of total removal of the same carried out by Defensor therefore offers the customer a double advantage: first of all it gives brightness to treated surfaces because, with the passing of time, the limescale mixing with dirt takes on that annoying yellowish colour that obscures the shine of the surfaces, giving the idea of not being clean and hygienic.
The second and no less important reason for relying on the professionalism of the company consists in the fact that limestone is a real threat to taps, sinks, ceramics, etc., because they are damaged by encrustations over time.
Its removal, therefore, ensures a longer operating life to devices and surfaces, ensuring a not only aesthetic but also economic advantage, allowing a potential saving for the replacement of damaged and/or irreparably damaged parts.
It is important to inspect the area to enable greater effectiveness of the treatment, assessing together the characteristics of the areas to be treated before being able to use the right product.
In agreement with the customer, we always proceed with a pre-treatment that allows us to correctly evaluate the times and methods of execution that can guarantee a satisfactory result for the customer without interfering with normal activities.
