Seascour: EPA Safer Choice Approved

The EPA Safer Choice label helps consumers identify products that are safer for families, workers, pets, and ecosystems. It encourages the development of greener, safer formulations that meet high standards for both performance and environmental impact. To earn the label, products must pass rigorous criteria, ensuring they are effective and environmentally friendly.

The Safer Choice label is a reliable way to find products made with safer ingredients without sacrificing performance. Every ingredient in products that carry the Safer Choice label is reviewed by EPA scientists to make sure certified products only contain the safest possible ingredients for people and the planet.   

This certification signifies that Seascour meets the EPA's stringent standards for safety and environmental responsibility, offering the marine industry a powerful, yet environmentally friendly, solution for cleaning and maintaining vessels and equipment.

Many traditional marine descalers contain harsh, toxic chemicals, including strong acids and inorganic compounds. These substances can harm both human health and the marine environment.

For example, some descalers are phosphoric acid-based and claim to be safe for environmental release. However, when discharged into water bodies, excess phosphorus contributes to the growth of dense algal blooms. These blooms deplete oxygen levels, disrupting marine ecosystems and threatening aquatic life. 

Additionally, other strong acids like hydrochloric, muriatic, and sulfuric are commonly found in descalers. These chemicals not only pose serious risks to workers but also require specialized contractors, strict handling protocols, and careful waste disposal to prevent harm.

In contrast, Seascour is an organic and biodegradable marine scale remover that contains no inorganic acids. Seascour provides an effective, eco-friendly solution that is safer for both people and the planet, earning it the prestigious EPA Safer Choice certification.

Seascour is the first and only marine descaler to earn the EPA Safer Choice label, pioneering a new program category. This prestigious certification solidifies what already sets Seascour apart from other marine scale removers: a powerful, groundbreaking descaling solution with more positive environmental and human health characteristics than conventional formulations.

Its organic, biodegradable formula provides a safer health profile for crew members and is non-corrosive to equipment. Seascour simplifies the descaling process and, in many cases, reduces the need for specialized contractors—saving both time and costs.

Seascour isn’t just safer—it’s smarter for your operations. Here’s why:

• Lower Costs: No need for expensive contractors or complex disposal processes.
• Less Downtime: Faster and more efficient descaling means more time on the water.
• Environmental Responsibility: Seascour’s safer, biodegradable formula protects marine ecosystems.
