- Use Level
- 0.5 - 1% (Detergents/Degreasers), 4 - 10% (Temporary protection)
- Product Applications
- Metal degreasing and cleansing operations used during metal working procedures.
- The temporary protection of metals during their transport and storage periods.
- Alkaline detergents in contact with metal substrates.
- Typical Product Application
- The pH of the end solution needs to be above 7 for an optimal efficiency.
- Metal working fluids - The Ascotran-L is added into water-soluble lubricants concentrates or ready-to use solutions to get a final dosage of 50 to 5000 ppm, depending on the formulation, its pH, and the metal nature to protect.
- Temporary protection - The Ascotran-L can be applied by spraying, dipping after being diluted into water, or inside the last metal working bath (washers, rinsing tanks). Dosage from 2 to 15%, depending on the required protection duration.
- Hydrostatic tests - The Ascotran-L is diluted into the water used for the test, at a dosage between 0,05 and 0,2% depending on the metals to protect and the test duration.
- Other applications - The Ascotran-L is mixed into water-based solutions at a dosage between 0,7 to 2%, depending on the solution nature and metals to protect.
- Dosage Information
Can be directly added to the solution to be treated, without any pre-mix or neutralization step.
When used for temporary protection only, the product should be diluted in soft water and applied onto metal substrates:
- By dipping;
- By spraying (depending on the spray pressure, a defoamer can be recommended)
- By brushing.
