- Typical Application
Mainly used for:
- Synthetic or semi-synthetic hydrosoluble lubricants and metal working fluids
- Hydrosoluble hydraulic fluids
- Coolants or anti-freezes.
- Temporary protection of metal equipment or components
- during transport and dry storage.
- Protection from flash corrosion during hydro blasting.
- Protection of metal equipment during hydrostatic test procedures.
- Protection of metal equipment in long-term contact with a static aqueous solution: pipes during inactivity periods, tanks, and containers.
Can also be used in :
- Other solutions for metal machining (degreasing, stripping, polishing, cleansing under pressure).
- Neutral-to-alkaline detergents.
- Product Application
The pH of the end solution needs to be above 7 for an optimal efficiency.
Metalworking fluids
The Ascotran-L is added into water-soluble lubricants concentrates or ready-to-use solutions to get a final dosage of 50 to 5000 ppm, depending on the formulation, its pH, and the metal nature to protect.
Temporary protection
The Ascotran-L can be applied by spraying, dipping after being diluted into water, or inside the last metal working bath (washers, rinsing tanks). Dosage from 2 to 15% depending on the required protection duration.
Hydrostatic tests
The Ascotran-L is diluted into the water used for the test, at a dosage between 0.05 and 0.2% depending on the metals to protect and the test duration.
Other applications
The Ascotran-L is mixed into water-based solutions at a dosage between 0.7 to 2% depending on the solution nature and metals to protect.
