Acid Cleaner 390

Acid Cleaner 390 is a liquid non-electrolytic acid derusting compound for chemically removing rust and scale from ferrous metals. Acid Cleaner 390 is completely safe to use on all steel parts, as there is no attack or hydrogen embrittlement of the metal itself.

Acid Cleaner 390 can be applied using standard spray washing equipment.

Recommended Application: Spray

  1. Make up a 10-50% solution of Acid Cleaner 390 depending on amount of rust or scale to be removed.
  2. Spray the parts with Acid Cleaner 390.
  3. Let stand 5 – 10 minutes.
  4. Spray parts again.
  5. Apply Fe phosphate or other desired coating.

Analysis

  1. Take a 5 ml sample of the bath.
  2. Add 50 mls of D.I. Water
  3. Add 3-4 drops of phenolphthalein.
  4. Titrate with 1.0 N Sodium Hydroxide until the solution changes from clear to pink.

Calculation

mls 1.0 N Sodium Hydroxide x 1.639= % Acid Cleaner 390.

Citrus Utility Cleaner

Citrus Utility Cleaner has a unique blend of cleaning characteristics in which the high solvency capacity of the natural food by-product, D-Limonene, is combined with surfactants to provide both water rinseability and water dispersability.

Citrus Utility Cleaner can be used as is for solvent-type cleaning. It may be rinsed afterward, if needed, for an extra clean surface. Citrus Utility Cleaner may also be dispersed in water for dip or spray washer operations. The advantageous blend of strong solvency and water dispersability makes Citrus Utility Cleaner suitable for a wide range of cleaning application. As a mildly alkaline cleaner, it is suitable for use with aluminum.

Benefits of using Citrus Utility Cleaner:

  1. Non-staining
  2. Strong solvency action
  3. Water rinseable/water dispersible
  4. Flexible operating parameters
  5. Environmentally compatible
  6. Operator friendly
As with many metal cleaners Citrus Utility Cleaner provides short term in-house corrosion protection. It is recommended that a rust preventive be used after cleaning for more than short term protection.

CC-5 Cleaner

CC-5 Cleaner is a liquid alkaline cleaner designed to remove all types of soils from metals. As a strong alkaline cleaner CC-5 will typically remove cutting oils, drawing and stamping compounds, coolant residues, buffing compounds, dirt and metal fines. The particular wetting agents used in it provide fast wetting and lead to the rapid loosening and dispersing of dirts and oils. In addition, when oily soils are being removed there will be a favorable characteristic of oil rejection after surface cleaning. This will allow oil-skimming equipment to remove oils from the cleaning systems.

CC-5 Temperature
3% to 5% 160oF to 180o F

CC-5 functions exceptionally well at lower temperatures also. Soak tanks might use 5% to 7% concentrations if agitation is low or cleaning loads heavy.

The alkalinity and active ingredients in CC-5 are blended to provide short-term rust protection. Follow up processes or the application of rust preventives should be anticipated after cleaning.

Appearance (room temp) Clear liquid
Specific Gravity 1.229
pH at 3% 13.1
lbs/gal 10.26

Benefits

  1. Liquid product provides for ease of use.
  2. Fast dispersion of soils.
  3. Low foaming.
  4. Oil rejection.
  5. Effective with all types of equipment.

So Clean 229

So Clean 229 is a highly effective alkaline cleaner, formulated in liquid form for ease of additions,safety, and high suitability for automatic pump applications. The cleaner’s high alkalinity result in maximum effectiveness on steel, but should not be used on aluminum or zinc die cast. Brass or copper should be limited to less than 30 minutes immersion time.

So Clean 229 is effective at concentrations ranging from 2% to 6%, depending upon the amount of time available, temperature, and the severity of the soil. A temperature of 140-160F is suggested. This cleaner is low foaming for less drag-out from immersion tanks, and is well suited for spray cleaning applications. So Clean 229 is deliberately formulated without the normal use of chelating agents to minimize waste treatment problems with metals. An excellent rust inhibitor is included, however, so that parts can be packed wet without rusting as long as they have not been rinsed too thoroughly. So Clean 229 will keep 1% to 3% oil dissolved in the tank. For maximum cleaner life and parts cleanliness, the cleaner should be circulated through an oil trap, particularly when the tank has cooled off during shut down, etc. Any oil collected from the cool tank should be removed before tank is brought back up to heat.
