Used to Clean: Aluminum and soft metal surfaces, medical instruments in aluminum trays, alkaline sensitive lab and glassware, sensitive aerospace materials, pharmaceutical process equipment, medical devices, electronic components. Used to Remove: Oils, dirt, grime, adhesives and uncured epoxy, particulates, residues, fluxes, chemical solvents, machining oils. Surfaces Cleaned: Corrosion inhibited formulation recommended for glass, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, aluminum, copper, zinc, and other soft metals, ceramic, plastic, circuit boards and electronic components. Cleaning Method: Soak tanks, manual cleaning, ultrasonic tanks, mechanical washers, washer/sanitizers, spray washers, CIP systems. Directions: For manual, soak and ultrasonic use, make a 3-5% solution (4-6 oz per gal. or 30-50 ml per liter) in warm or hot water. Protective gloves and eyewear are recommended. For spray machines, add detergent at the hot water wash cycle to make a 2% solution (2½ oz. per gal. or 20 ml per liter). For difficult soils raise water temperature and use more detergent. RINSE THOROUGHLY--preferably with running water. For critical cleaning do final or all rinsing in distilled, deionized or purified water. Corrosion testing may be advisable.
