Alkaline rust and scale remover .

Ardrox® 185L is a highly alkaline concentrated solution in water containing sequestrants. It is also available as a powder under the name Ardrox® 185. Ardrox® 185L is primary intended for the removal of heavy rust and scale from ferrous components in immersion tanks but it is also capable to remove oil, grease and some air-dried paints. It will not attack or cause hydrogen embrittlement in ferrous alloys and there is markedly less tendency for re-rusting to occur than with acid pickling. When used in conjunction with the adequate other Ardrox® specialties, Ardrox® 185L can be used to remove scale from hot-end jet engine components. It can also be used for cleaning parts made of Titanium.

Applications :
Application Ardrox® 185L is usually used at a concentration of 30-50% by volume in water, depending on the amount of rust or scale to be removed. This corresponds to a concentration of 200 - 375 g/L of Ardrox® 185 in water. Ardrox® 185 must always be dissolved in cold water. There will be an exothermic reaction and the solution will heat up to 50-60°C / 120-140°F.
