Features & Benefits
- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Product Highlights
- Excellent cleaning in immersion and ultrasonic tanks
- Long life because oils split rapidly to the surface of your cleaner tank where they can be skimmed off
- An excellent choice where one product is used for multiple purposes; such as washing mixed batches of ferrous, aluminum, and copper alloy parts
- Will provide extended in-process tarnish resistance on copper and copper alloy parts
- Safe on aluminum, aluminum alloy, and magnesium
- Will remove coolant residues as well as straight oils
- Ultrasonic parts washers widely used in the medical, aerospace, automotive, mining, energy, and precision parts industries — offer results often far beyond that of traditional cleaning methods. Master STAGES specifically developed ultrasonic in-process cleaners are highly effective in removing dirt, oils, rust, bacteria, grease, drawing compounds, waxy soil, and other contaminants from a wide variety of metals.
- Whether cleaning aluminum, steels, cast iron, stainless steels, alloys, brass, bronze, copper, or magnesium, Master STAGES has the ultrasonic in-process alkaline product to get it really clean.
- Offering exceptional wetting ability, reduced cycle times, longer bath life, and faster, safer precision parts cleaning, yet are environmentally friendly and free of SARA 313 reportable ingredients, Master STAGES ultrasonic cleaners are the cost-effective solution to achieving a matchless surface finish.
- Additional Information
- Industrial Use Only
- Consult Master Fluid Solutions before using on any metals or applications not specifically recommended.
- This product should not be mixed with other metalworking fluids or metalworking fluid additives, except as recommended by Master Fluid Solutions, as this may reduce overall performance, result in adverse health effects, or damage the machine tool and parts. If contamination occurs, please contact Master Fluid Solutions for recommended action.

- Application Guidelines
- In ultrasonic washers, CLEAN 2020 should be kept under 160°F (71°C).
- In agitated immersion washers, CLEAN 2020 can operate from ambient to 160°F (71°C).
- Concentrations range from 3% for washing off coolant up to 5%-10% for washing off straight oils.
- Straight oils require skimming as they will split rapidly to the surface. CLEAN 2020 has no cloud-point so foam will remain constant as temperature increases. CLEAN 2020 has been used with great results removing screw machine oils in low-pressure spray washers, such as auger/drum-style washers, where the oil helps break foam.
- CLEAN 2020 does not provide corrosion inhibition for ferrous parts. If such protection is needed, follow the washing process with Master STAGES™ NOCOR® S2, or Master STAGES™ CLEAN 2029 (not compatible with Master STAGES™ CLEAN 2115).
