Alkaline Soak Cleaning Compound
Alkaline soak cleaning compound is a low-foam, highly effective immersion cleaner formulated with a balanced blend of alkaline builders, sequestrants, and non-ionic surfactants for removing drawing oils, stamping lubricants, buffing compounds, and light shop soils from ferrous and non-ferrous metal parts. The low-foam formulation is ideal for agitated immersion tanks and tumbling barrel operations. It provides consistent cleaning performance over a wide range of soil loads and operating temperatures.
