MA5X Barnacle Remover 55 Gallon Drum - Commercial Marine Growth Cleaner

MA5X Barnacle Off in the 55 Gallon Drum format is built for marinas, boatyards, and fleet maintenance teams that need reliable barnacle and scale removal across many vessels and seawater systems. The same Eco Marine concentrate used in the 32 oz and 1 gallon sizes is supplied here for centralized storage, drum pumps, and pallet shipping, giving predictable cost per cleaning cycle at scale.

Key Features & Benefits for Commercial Operations

• Concentrated phosphoric acid descaler: Dissolves barnacles, sea lime, rust, salt deposits, and organic buildup on hulls, waterlines, and seawater cooling circuits while helping prevent overheating, flow restriction, and impeller damage in service fleets.
• High yield for lower cost per job: Typical dilutions range from 1:4 for heavy growth to 1:10 for routine maintenance, so one 55 gallon drum can produce approximately 275 to over 600 gallons of working solution, supporting continuous operations during peak seasons.
• Fast dwell and clean rinse: Ten minute contact time is usually enough to break down heavy deposits, with a rinse that leaves minimal residue and supports quick turnaround on hull and system work.
• Asset friendly when used as directed: Designed for fiberglass, gelcoat, painted hulls, and seawater cooling components, reducing the need for aggressive scraping and dismantling.
• Optimized for bulk handling: Standard 55 Gallon Drum format integrates with metering pumps, recirculating flush rigs, and pallet racking to simplify chemical control across multiple docks and sites.

Professional Usage and Dilution

For external hulls and running gear, pre rinse to remove loose growth. Apply MA5X Barnacle Off diluted between 1:4 and 1:10 with clean water using acid resistant sprayers or brush applicators on cool surfaces out of direct sun. Allow up to 10 minutes of dwell time, agitate as required, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water. For seawater cooling systems and heat exchangers, charge the circuit with diluted product and circulate in a closed loop following your standard operating procedure, then flush completely with fresh water.

Safety and Compliance

Barnacle Off is a phosphoric acid solution with a pH of approximately 1–2 and is classified as causing skin irritation and serious eye damage. It ships as UN 1805 Phosphoric Acid Solution, Class 8, Packing Group III, and is non flammable. Operators must wear suitable chemical resistant gloves, eye and face protection, and avoid breathing mist or spray. Store drums locked, separate from alkalis and reactive metals, and manage spills with absorbent material and compliant disposal. Always consult the latest Barnacle Off Safety Data Sheet and align procedures with your facility’s environmental and safety programs.

Wholesale Programs and Supply Planning

This 55 Gallon Drum configuration is intended for trained crews working under documented safety guidelines, not for casual consumer use. It is an ideal standard product for marine detailing contractors, boatyards, and fleet operators who need consistent marine growth removal across many assets. Order by the drum for pallet shipping or scheduled pickup, and contact MA5X to set up recurring deliveries or multi drum agreements that match your seasonal and multi location demand.
