Branson Ultrasonic Oxide Remover Solution 000-955-514 / 12 Quart

Branson Ultrasonic Oxide Remover Solution 000-955-514 / 12 Quart APPLICATIONS AND USE Branson OR Concentrated Solution is a blend of detergents in an acidic carrier which is phosphatefree and bio-degradable. This formulation has been developed to rapidly remove rust and oxides from many metals. It is used in cleaning and reconditioning relay and switch contacts, removing oxides that result from assembly operations utilizing soldering, brazing, or welding, and similar applications. It can also be effective on ferrous materials for removing surface oxides resulting from storage. Although the solution may etch or attack reactive metals, it is especially effective with stainless steel, copper, and tin components. APPLICATION PROCEDURES Branson OR Solution is readily mixed in a concentration of 6-7% by volume and can be used at solution temperatures of up to 120?F (48?C) in cleaning tanks. Optimum performance will be realized at this slightly elevated solution temperature. Cleaning tanks, heating coils and related components should be fabricated from stainless steel or other materials capable of withstanding acidic solutions. For optimum cleaning, Branson OR should be operated at recommended temperatures. Cleaning time is dictated by the quantity and nature of the soil. Operating Branson OR below the recommended concentrations, temperatures, or time will generally result in poor cleaner performance, characterized by cloudiness and water breaks. Operating Branson OR above the recommended parameters may lead to component metal attack or cause the surfactants to separate from the solution causing poor cleaning. It is imperative that the solution be allowed to "degas" at operating temperature for a minimum of 10 minutes prior to placing the parts into the cleaning solution. It is best if ultrasonic energy is applied during this time to enhance degassing. Thorough rinsing is suggested for removal of cleaning solution. As with any process involving water, drying should be considered as the final step. The selection and use of the proper ultrasonic cleaning equipment and component fixturing will influence the cleaning efficiency and performance of Branson OR CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS Chemical Composition: Blend of detergents in an acidic carrier Flash Point: None Recommended Dilutent: Water Biodegradable: Yes Phosphate Free: Yes Normal Use Concentration: 6 -7% by volume Normal Use Temperature: 70-120?F (22-48?
