Ardrox 6333A Liquid, multi-metal, alkaline cleaner for spray and agitated immersion applications.
PRIMARY APPLICATION
ARDROX 6333A is a liquid, multi-metal, alkaline cleaner for spray and agitated immersion applications. This
unique formulation can be used on iron, steel, aluminum, zinc, titanium, copper brass and magnesium when
operating within parameters.
ARDROX 6333A has no EDTA-type chelates which can interfere with precipitation waste treatment systems, but
it does have sequestrants to reduce scale from hard water salts. Because it is free-rinsing, ARDROX 6333A is
ideal for use prior to conversion coating processes.

APPROVALS
ARDROX 6333A is approved by Pratt and Whitney, General Electric and Rolls Royce for all aircraft engines.
ARDROX 6333A conforms to the requirements of AMS 1526B, Boeing D6-17487, Douglas CSD Number 1 and MIL-C-29602 Type I, cleaning compounds for parts washers and spray cabinets. NSN 6850-01-431-2268 (55-
gallon drum).
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Spray: Use ARDROX 6333A in spray washers at between 2 and 10% by volume, 120° to 180° F (49° to 82° C). Exact concentration, temperature and exposure time depend on soils, extent of build-up and conveyor line speed.
Immersion: Use ARDROX 6333A in agitated immersion tanks at 5 - 30% by volume, 140° to 180° F (60° to 82° C). Exact concentration, temperature and immersion time depend on soils and extent of build-up.
For cleaning magnesium, the solution pH should be maintained above 11.
