Gardobond Additive H 6994

A Product of BASF
Liquid Additive For Improved Rinsing In Metal Cleaning And Plating Operations; Prevents Water Spotting, Retards Rusting

Available Size:
5 gal [50742534] In stock

Primary Application

Rinsite, is a liquid additive used in the final stages of metal cleaning and plating (and tumbling) operations to improve rinsing. It makes dry down uniform, eliminates water spotting and tarnishing, and retains the bright finish of the metal. It leaves an invisible, non-oily film to retard rusting.

Gardobond Additive H 6994 also may be used to prevent rusting when air testing equipment such as tanks, regulators and compressors.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Rinsite is added to the final rinse of plating or metal cleaning operations at 1/8 to 1/2 of 1% by volume of water. Slightly higher concentrations may be desirable with cold rinse water. Temperatures may vary from 10 °C to 60 °C (50 °F to 140 °F).
The assure corrosion prevention properties, the non-oily, rust-retarding film that Gardobond Additive H 6994 provides should not be rinsed off the work.

SOLUTIONS CONTROL

Concentrations are titrated using Gardotest Procedure 52.

Sample Size: 10.0 mls
Factor: 0.18 (% b.v.)

Application Procedure: Rinsite is added to the final rinse of plating or metal cleaning operations at 1/8 to 1/2 of 1% by volume of water. Slightly higher concentrations may be desirable with cold rinse water. Temperatures may vary from 10° to 60 °C (50° to 140 °F). The non-oily, rust-retarding film that Rinsite leaves should not be rinsed off of plated work.

NOTES ON USE (see Safety Data Sheet)

Avoid contact or mixing with acids. Safety and Handling Precautions: Rinsite is a mildly alkaline material. Direct contact may cause irritation of eyes. Prolonged skin contact may cause irritation. It may be harmful if swallowed. Do not get in eyes. Avoid prolonged skin contact. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not take internally. First Aid in Case of Contact: For eyes, flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If eyes are irritated, get medical attention. For skin, flush with water.
