- I&I Cleaning Applications
- Use Level
- 4 - 10% (Temporary Protection), 1 - 2% (Detergents/Degreasers)
- Product Application
Mainly used for :
- Neutral or alkaline detergents in contact with metal substrates
- Metal degreasing and cleansing operations performed during metal-working procedures
- The temporary protection of metals during their transport and storage periods
- Dosage
Can be directly added to the solution to be treated, without any pre-mixture or neutralizing step. Indicative use dosages (% of total end-solution weight)
- Detergents/Degreasers : 1 to 2%, depending on the pH.
- Temporary protection : 4 to 10% depending on the expected protection duration.
- When used for temporary protection only, the product should be diluted in soft water and applied onto metal substrates : By dipping, by spraying (depending on the spray pressure, a defoamer can be recommended) or by brushing.
