Harmonization Code : 3208.20.90 | Paints and varnishes that are dispersed or dissolved in a non aqueous medium
Main features
- Low-Temperature Multi-Metal Cleaning
- Fuel/Hydraulic Component Cleaning
- Chromate-Free Low-Foam Noncorrosive Formulation
Product Description
BONDERITE® C-AK 4215 NC-LT is a white granular alkaline cleaner developed for low-temperature cleaning of ferrous and nonferrous alloys using spray, immersion, and ultrasonic processes. The formulation is designed for cleaning fuel and hydraulic components and for preparing metal surfaces prior to metal bonding. Its balanced blend of organic surface-active agents provides controlled low-foam operation while remaining readily soluble, readily rinsable, free of chromates, and free of harsh caustics.
Key Features
- Low-temperature alkaline cleaner for spray, immersion, and ultrasonic cleaning.
- Suitable for ferrous and nonferrous alloys, including aluminum, steel, copper, and plated metals.
- Controlled low-foam formulation designed for severe agitation conditions.
- Readily soluble and free-rinsing for efficient cleaning and post-rinse performance.
- Chromate-free and free of harsh caustics.
Applications / Suitable for
- Fuel component cleaning
- Hydraulic component cleaning
- Cleaning prior to metal bonding
- Spray cleaning systems
- Immersion cleaning systems
- Ultrasonic cleaning systems
- Cleaning ferrous and nonferrous alloys
