Features & Benefits

Product Highlights

Designed for ferrous substrates, AxxaWash™ KF-123 is a mildly alkaline aqueous-based cleaner for the removal of light to medium-duty hydrocarbon soils while offering chloride mitigation. AxxaWash™ KF123 is ideally suited to clean and prepare the surface for a long-term rust preventative such as Zerust® Axxanol™ or Axxatec™ product lines. AxxaWash™ KF-123 can be rinsed or used as a dry-in-place cleaner and flash-rust inhibitor. Alternatively, AxxaWash™ KF-123 prepares the surface for long-term water or solvent-based rust inhibitor/preventative. AxxaWash™ KF-123 is conveniently offered as a liquid concentrate and may be diluted per the application. Speak with your Zerust®/Excor® sales representative to obtain your application-specific operator guide.
