Coarse Granular Powder

Additional Details

Asfoclean-310 is a coarse granular powder, consisting of a blend of strong alkalies, penetrants and dispersing agents. It was developed for rapid removal of unwanted materials from ferrous metal parts. It penetrates the contaminants, reacts chemically with the metal surface and thereby removing all exterior deposits on the metal surface.

Uses:

Asfoclean-310 when dissolved in water, provides an easy means of removing oils, dirts, carbonaceous products, paints and varnishes from iron and steel. Its main use will be found in the reconditioning, and in the reclaiming of rejected components. Asfoclean-310 can be used on copper and aluminium but with great caution, and only at low concentrations as it may cause excessive attack to the base metal.

Storage & Handling:
    Store in a cool dry place

    Keep away from Acids

Safety Precautions:

    P.V.C. or rubber gloves, shoes & aprons, and if necessary eyeshields should be worn

    Any splashes on skin should be washed off with plenty of cold water

Packings: 10 Kgs. & 50 Kgs.

Applications

    Degreasing :

It is normally used at concentration of 5 – 10% in water in a hot soak tank preferably fitted with means of agitation. The most rapid results are obtained if the operation is carried out at higher temperature of 60°C - 90°C. In every case we recommend a final rinse in boiling or near boiling water. Compressed air agitation should never be done. Dunking can be done to enhance cleaning.

    Paint Stripping :

Most wet paints or varnishes are removed by the action of ASFOCLEAN-310. Only experience will dictate the immersion time necessary for any particular paint or varnish. Concentration should be around 30% in hot water.

    Removing Oil & Carbonaceous deposits from condensors & heat exchangers:-

The articles are immersed in boiling Asfoclean-310 solution. Immersion time may be four hours for particularly tenacious deposits. Concentration of solution will vary from 5 to 20%. Solution may be circulated if required.
