- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Features
- It is free rinsing and leaves no residues on the substrate surface.
- These features are important if parts will enter heat-treating furnaces after cleaning.
- Many power wash cleaners can leave undesirable alkaline residues, which may foul the furnace over time.
- It is also an important characteristic if parts are to be plated or coated with an organic film such as paint.
- The clean surface will facilitate the production of the very smooth phosphate coatings.
- Advantages
- Low to no foam product.
- Liquid form makes it easy to add. No dangerous splatters or dissolution problem.
- Mixes readily with cold water.
- Contains no caustic, borates, solvents, nitrates, or nitrites.
- Silicate and chelating agent-free; ideal for use where heat-treating follows cleaning operations.
- Biodegradable surfactant system.
- Tends to split oils and most non-water soluble metal working fluids from the cleaner.
- Mild pH (less than 10)
Applications & Uses

- Applications
- Application Method
- Uses
- It may be used to clean ferrous metals, copper, brass alloys, bronzes, aluminum alloys, stainless steel, and nickel-clad stock.
- It may be used as a spray or immersion cleaner and may be used with ultrasonics. It generally will not etch highly polished surfaces.
- It finds wide application in washing highly finished surfaces such as bearing parts, deep drawn cosmetic cases, or stainless-steel strip.
- It is also excellent cleaner for use in five stage iron and zinc phosphate lines.
- Operating Parameters
- Concentrations: 1 to 10% (volume) optimum 4% to 5% (volume) for most applications.
- Temperatures: 100 to 180 °F.
- Equipment: mild steel or stainless-steel tanks and heating coils.
- It may be operated in a wide temperature range, 100 to 180 °F.
- Lower temperatures may be used for light soils, while higher temperatures may be required for heavy oils.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Controls
Test Kit Procedure:
- Fill test bottle 1/4 full of water.
- Add 5 mls. Martron 732 SPH solution to the bottle, using the 5 ml syringe.
- Add 3 to 8 drops Methyl Orange indicator.
- Add drop wise 0.72 N Hydrochloric Acid until solution turns from yellow to red-orange.
- Record number drops 0.72 N Hydrochloric Acid used.
- % (volume) Martron 732 SPH = 0.30 x drops of 0.72 N Hydrochloric Acid
Titration Procedure:
- Pipette a 50 ml sample into a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask and dilute with 100 ml water.
- Add 7 drops methyl orange indicator and mix.
- Titrate with 0.5 N HCl until a color change of yellow to orange occurs.
- Record mls of 0.5 N HCl used.
- % (volume) Martron 732 SPH = 0.56 x MLS 0.5 N HCL Used
Safety & Health
- Caution
- It is a mildly alkaline product and should be handled accordingly.
- Avoid skin and eye contact.
- Wear protective clothing, goggles, and gloves.
- Flush exposed areas immediately with clean cold water.
- Contact a doctor promptly in case of injury.
