Applications & Uses

Markets
Application Method
Applications
Metalterj #5150 is recommended for use in soak tanks, spray washers, electrolytic, and ultrasonic cleaning applications. It is specially formulated for process and batch cleaning and stripping, removing zinc phosphate coatings and stearate lubes. Cleaning vats, storage tanks, heat exchangers, process equipment, washer purging and de-scaling, and for tank trucks by re-circulation or boil-out.
Recommended Dilution

Dilute in water to suit the application. The concentration required depends on the type of application and contaminant to be removed, porosity of the surface, operating temperature, process time, and the degree of agitation applied by the cleaning method. Recommended dilutions are:

  • Light duty shop soils such as cutting oils, coolants and for light rust 1 to 5% by volume.
  • For heavier oils, greases and drawing compounds 5 to 10% by volume.
  • Stripping zinc phosphatized steel with polymer or stearate coatings 8 to 12% by volume.
  • Removal of heavy, baked-on carbon, for cleaning heavily coated heat exchangers, for removal of chemical resistant coatings, and paint 8 to 25% by volume.

Properties

Physical Form
Performance Properties
  • Metalterj #5150 contains high levels of free hydroxide, chelating and sequestering agents which provide: very quick penetration, dispersion and emulsification of oily soils. Non foaming at all operating temperatures.
  • The highly concentrated liquid form of Metalterj #5150 makes it easier, safer, and far more efficient to use than powder compounds. Metalterj #5150 can be fed through a closed system directly from the shipping drum to the cleaning operation. This eliminates the hazardous mixing of alkaline powders with water, and it can be automatically metered to deliver a consistently accurate dilution
