ARDROX 6333A Alkaline Metal Cleaner

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.

A Product of Chemetall U.S., Inc.

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.

Further Approvals

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. 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). Precise 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). Precise concentration, temperature, and immersion time depend on soils and extent of build-up.

For cleaning magnesium, the solution pH should be maintained above 11.
