Description

ALUMINETCH is a powder compound which provides a rapid, thorough reconditioning treatment for aluminum removing light die lines and scratches and producing a beautiful, silver – white, finely etched satin finish. It is adaptable to any aluminum alloy.

Aluminum is a very reactive metal. When exposed to the atmosphere, it quickly covers itself with an unsightly white or gray oxide film. Since aluminum is normally a bright white color, the contrast between clean and soiled or oxidized metal is intensified.

Aluminetch restores the natural finish to aluminum.

It removes oxides, corrosive salts, tenacious grease and oil films. It etches the underlying metal very uniformly. Some etchants preferentially dissolve only certain elements of the aluminum alloy, leaving a residue of insoluble elements. The result is a discolored, rough, irregularly etched surface. ALUMINETCH which consists of dipping parts into a tank of ALUMINETCH, rinsing and then bright dipping with RADOL – 20 – 20 – PLUS, produces a bright shiny surface. There is never a need for further processing, other than rinsing.

ALUMINETCH is extremely long-lived. When oil films are observed floating at the top of the tank, the solution may be reclaimed by overflowing.

The etch rate of ALUMINETCH used at the recommended concentration and temperature, will be 0.2 to 0.25 mils per minute on most aluminum alloys.

Creates no sludging problems

ALUMINETCH solves the sludging problem usually prevalent in materials of its type. The sludge created is small in quantity … and it is very soft and non-caking. It can be easily removed from the tank bottom without chipping, scraping or scrubbing.

Use

Since ALUMINETCH can be used in simple, inexpensive, mild steel tanks, installation costs are low and maintenance requirements are practically nonexistent. The material is normally used at 3 – 5% in water and at low, easy – to – maintain temperatures ( 450 – 650C ). Upon withdrawal from cleaning solution parts should be rinsed with hot water.

If deoxidizing process is required use our product RADOL – 20 – 20 – PLUS for deoxidizing.

Application

ALUMINETCH is used wherever bright aluminum is desired. For example : aluminum window finishing, kitchen utensils, venetian blends, furniture, dishes, trays, auto distributor covers and other cast parts, lightning flash arrestors for power lines, refrigerator ice cube trays, heat reflectors, light reflectors, ornamental aluminum, and a great variety of small aluminum parts such as the stays used in permanent waving machines.

Ideal for cleaning of aluminum prior to chromodizing, anodizing or phosphating operation in aircraft plants, planting shops and metal-working establishments.

Note: For its use in chromate conversion coating see our Technical Bulletin.

Description

SCALE OFF is a liquid acid type product that effectively removes calcium carbonate and magnesium hydrate scales from heat exchangers, boilers, evaporators and other types of water systems.

SCALE OFF can be also used as a rust remover with excellent results.

It contains inhibitors and surface-active agents to protect sound metal surfaces giving more efficient reaction with the scale deposits.

When dissolved in water, its ingredients became chemically active, removing rapidly light scales and rust without appreciable action on the sound metal beneath. Through chemical reaction the scales are converted into highly soluble salts that are easily flushed away.

Generally a single treatment with SCALE OFF restores full system efficiency. Subsequent treatments periodically will prevent the heavy scale incrustations and rust deposits that inevitably lead to serious impairment of system efficiency, costly downtime and expensive repairs.

SCALE OFF is not recommended for use in aluminum and its alloys.

Application

SCALE OFF is used in a concentration 10 % in the water. The concentration varies, depending on the nature and the quantity of the scale.

Cold solutions work very satisfactorily. However, heating speed its action, with greatest efficiency obtained at 160 ^oF.

To strengthen solutions weakened through usage, simply add more SCALE OFF to restore solution to desired concentration.

Add SCALE OFF directly to the water in the system.

Circulate solution, hot or cold, until inspection shows system is free of scales.

Depending on the condition of the system a circulation of 12-36 hours is sufficient.

When system runs clean, flush with water and neutralize residual acid with our product KEM-NUTRO in a concentration of 1,5 % - 3 % solution.

Description

ATAROL is a liquid product composed of inhibited phosphoric acid.

Usage

• Effectively removes calcium carbonate and magnesium hydrate scales from heat exchangers, boilers, evaporators and other types of water systems.

• ATAROL is used for the removal of rust and iron oxides from iron and brightening surfaces, removing of tarnish from brass, copper, aluminum, as a protective pre-treatment prior to painting, removal of flush rust from mild steel cargo lines and tanks and lastly as a cleaner of rust stains from painted surfaces, glass, porcelain, etc.

Application

For rust removal: ATAROL can be applied full strength or diluted with water in a ratio of 1:3.

ATAROL may be added directly to the water in the system.

Circulate solution hot or cold, until inspection shows that the system is free of scales. Depending on the condition of the system a circulation of 12-24 hours is sufficient.

We recommend, when system runs clean, to protect system from further corrosion, flush with water and neutralize residual acid with our product KEM- NUTRO or ALKALINITY CONTROL in a concentration of 1,5 – 3% solution.

Description

Hydrochloric acid is usually used as a cleaning agent in Industries, since it cleans easily, fast & economically.

The only problems caused during its use is that it causes corrosion to metals and also emits fumes which cause health problems. The above mentioned problems can be solved by using HIBIT - 28. HIBIT - 28 is a concentrated liquid product which is used as an additive to the Hydrochloric acid solution, with the following desirable properties:

• Free from objectionable odor.
• Flash point is greater than 1000C
• Instant solubility in hydrochloric acid solution.
• No precipitation in the presence of ferric ions.
• Non-staining of metals and no deposit of film.
• Upon use provides a thin foam blanket to prevent acid fuming and splattering.
• Stops corrosion without minimizing its actions up to 100°C.
• Inhibition of pitting action of hydrochloric acid on mild steel (SAE 1010), stainless 316 and 420, monel and bronze.

Replenishing of Inhibitor.

HIBIT – 28 is not used up during pickling. But there is a loss of inhibitor when metals are removed from the bath. It is suggested that as fresh acid is added to replenish the bath, HIBIT – 28 is also added to bring the inhibitor concentration to the required inhibiting level.

HIBIT – 28 Test Results.

Laboratory tests were made by exposing clean weighed coupons in 5%, 10% and 15% hydrochloric acid at various temperatures for six hours.

The effects of 0,3 % ferric chloride on the corrosion rates were also determined. Visual observations were made for discoloration and pitting of surfaces.

Metal : Monel at 1750F ( 790C )

Metal : Brass at 2000F ( 940C )

NOTE : More information on other metals at various temperatures and concentrations are available upon request.

Use

Used at a ratio of 0.5 – 2 % by volume on the basis of undiluted acid.

USES FOR INHIBITED HYDROCHLORIC ACID

One of the major industrial applications for hydrochloric acid is in metal cleaning operations. In such operations, HCl is used to remove scale and foreign deposits, which have deposited on metallic surfaces. Examples of such cleaning operations are industrial boiler systems, steel processing pickling baths, refinery process equipment and cleaning and fracturing of oil wells. HCl is effective in these operations, but extreme care must be taken to prevent attack on the base metals involved. HIBIT-28 is used to prevent hydrochloric acid from attacking dilute acid storage vessels and transportation equipment.

REFINERY AND INDUSTRIAL CLEANING

Hydrochloric acid is used for the removal of deposits in refinery equipment and boiler systems. As this equipment is exposed to repeated exposures of acid cleanings, it becomes imperative that efficient inhibitors are used to control corrosive effects during the process.  HIBIT-28 has been shown to be a most successful material for this purpose.

STEEL PROCESSING         

In the manufacture of sheet and rolled steel, the removal of mill scale is of prime importance.  Economics of the operation require the use of a fast acting cleaning operation such as an acid bath.  Inhibitors, which function at various processing temperatures, protecting the cleaned metal against excessive metal loss and/or pitting, are utilized.  HIBIT-28 gives the necessary control at various temperatures in this operation, leaving the plate free from waxy deposits which interfere with subsequent coatings.

In the fracturing and acidizing of oil wells, dilute hydrochloric acid is used to dissolve the undesirable carbonate deposits or scales which interfere with the passage of oil tubing or in the formation itself.  The lines and tubing must be protected during this operation from the corrosive attack of the acid.  HIBIT-28 will successfully inhibit this corrosion or pitting without interfering with the desired effects required of the acid used.  

Description

Description

RUST-CONVERTER is a thin, liquid metal treatment compound which, when applied to rusted metal, chemically changes the rust (iron oxide) into iron phosphate.

Therefore moisture and oxygen do not attack the metal. The surface produced is an inert, hard and grayish surface which will serve as a firm base for paint.

RUST-CONVERTER is a metal primer not a paint. One gallon of the product covers approximately 600 square feet.

No mixing is necessary because RUST-CONVERTER is furnished in the proper strength for use.

RUST-CONVERTER can also be used on new ferrous metal, aluminum and galvanized iron.  It produces a toothed, slightly porous surface to which paint will grip and cling, forming a tight, lasting bond.

Usage

• On Rusted Surfaces: Remove loose rust or scale. Apply by brush, dip, spray or swab and let it dry overnight then paint. A powdery grayish surface usually develops, indicating that it has reacted with the metal. Now moisture cannot penetrate to metal. Brush off any loose powder, apply primer and then finish coat.

• On New Metals: Pre-clean by removing excess oil or grease with mineral solvent or with our product, LECTROKLEEN. Apply RUST- CONVERTER by brush, dip, spray or swab. Let it dry overnight, brush off any loose powder and the surface is ready for painting.

Applicable Use

RUST-CONVERTER converts rust on anything made of ferrous metals. Use it on vehicle parts, railroad cars, stockpiled castings, downspouts, stacks, tanks, building, fences, steel windows, girders, roofs, plates, pipe fittings, etc.

Description

BUBBLE FLUID is a slightly viscous liquid leak detector which is designed to provide a fast, sure and easy means of detecting leaks or pin holes in welded fuel tanks and pressure tanks or vessels of every description.

BUBBLE FLUID mixes immediately and completely in all proportions in distilled or tap water. It is free rinsing, leaving no residues to interfere with subsequent paint adhesion and prevents corrosion since it contains corrosion inhibitors.

The application of BUBBLE FLUID to water results in a solution in which the surface tension is amazingly low. Consequently, very small bubbles appear on the surface when air is introduced into the solution.

Use Instructions

Tank immersion : 100 ml BUBBLE FLUID / 125 liters of water.

The container to be tested is submerged in the testing tank and simultaneously air under regulated low pressure is compressed in the tank being tested. If the leak is present, tiny bubbles rise to the surface, forming an isolated bubble cluster readily observable.

Brush-on method : 100 ml BUBBLE FLUID / 3 liters of water.

For brush use, agitate solution violently to obtain suds. Apply the suds to the par being tested. Upon the application of air pressure inside of the vessel leaks are shown by the disruption and bubbling of the suds film.

The BUBBLE FLUID solution can be water rinsed or wiped from the surface with water-wet cloths.

BUBBLE FLUID is also available in spray cans of 450 ml. The product in spray is used as it is.
