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.
