ECONOVATE A

A powdered alkaline chemical which when dissolved in water produces a solution that degreases aluminium and its alloys. Used by dip, it does not etch nor dull polished aluminium surfaces nor noticeably smut high-silicon alloys. On extruded aluminium it dissolves out magnesium oxide and prevents subsequent preferential caustic etching. An excellent degreaser, it also removes polishing compounds from stainless steels and is a suitable mild cleaner for mild steel and zinc to prevent coarse phosphating. Complies with DEF STAN 03-2/3 Method B.2(ii).

An acidic liquid cleaner, which when diluted with water, will remove oil and light grease from aluminium and its alloys whilst deoxidising and lightly etching the metal surface. Used by dip, it produces a uniform bright matt finish with no scale or sludge in the tank. is ideal for use as a pre-treatment prior to chromate coatings, and before welding.

Liquid alkaline etch for Aluminium. Low sludge formation.
