TL;DR
descaling power composition
What are the compounds in descaling powers? I know organic acids have descaling properties but I wonder what powder is used to dilute them.
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Search for the name of the product and MSDS.
That will give you soome composition information.

For example; Trade Name: Glitz Descaler Tablets.
Google 'Glitz Descaler Tablets MSDS'
