Pyrene 1207-SD
Designed to remove burnt-on oil, grease, carbon, light rust and some paints, Pyrene 1207-SD features strong surfactant penetrating action and soil-dispersing ability for thorough cleaning and rinsing, as well as long solution life for material savings. The special surfactant package in Pyrene 1207-SD is designed to release removed oils, allowing them to float to the surface for easy skimming and disposal.
Pyrene 1207-SD is free of silicates, nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE) surfactants and solvents and is biodegradable.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Pyrene 1207-SD is normally used in spray washers at between 5 and 10% by volume, 120 – 180 ºF (49 – 82 ºC), 10 – 30 psi (0.7 – 2.0 bar) for 60 – 90 seconds.
Pyrene 1207-SD is normally used in immersion tanks at between 5 and 15% by volume, 120 – 180 ºF (49 – 82 ºC) for 5 – 10 minutes. Agitation speeds soil removal.
Exact parameters depend on soils, extent of soil build-up in solution and conveyor line speed.
Pyrene 1207-SD should not be used on aluminum, zinc, copper or brass due to chemical attack.
SOLUTION CONTROL: (Gardotest Procedure 92 or Test Kit OKT9697-90)
1. Pipet a 10 mL sample of the Pyrene 1207-SD solution into an Erlenmeyer flask.
2. Add about 50 mL of deionized water.
3. Add about 3-5 drops of Gardotest Indicator 2 (phenolphthalein) to the sample.
4. Titrate with Gardotest Solution 57 (1 N acid) until the color changes from pink to colorless. Record the number of milliliters used as Free Alkalinity.
5. The solution can be controlled directly by Free Alkalinity, or it can be converted to percent by volume by multiplying the Free Alkalinity by 2.6. Free Alkalinity in ml x 2.6 = Percent by Volume
6. To increase the Free Alkalinity by 1.0 mL, add 2.6 gal of Pyrene 1207-SD per 100 gal (26 liters per 1000 liters).
Bath Life: Please refer to Chemetall Oakite Procedure 123 for free and total alkalinity titrations.
EQUIPMENT
The Chemetall Oakite Electrodeless Conductivity/Concentration Control System and Chemical Metering Pump can be used to monitor and automatically maintain the concentration of this product using conductivity. Oil removal equipment can also be used to extend bath life. Please contact the Chemetall Oakite Process Equipment and Engineering Department for specific recommendations.
