Athea Laboratories A-R ALUMINUM & COIL CLEANER

Athea Laboratories A-R ALUMINUM & COIL CLEANER is a heavy-duty acid replacement product having the performance of hydrofluoric and sulfuric acids, but is non-corrosive to skin, making it a far safer alternative. As an aluminum cleaner and brightener, it has outstanding calcium, lime scale and silicate-deposit removal properties. It quickly removes corrosion and oxidation, leaving surfaces bright and clean. It is ideal for use on aluminum trailer bodies, boats, building materials and most other exterior aluminum surfaces. As a coil cleaner, it removes dust, dirt, grime, grease and oxidation from aluminum or copper coils as well as fins of cooling units and air conditioners. It does not require any special storage.
