Immersion Process
BONDERITE C-AK 4181 L AERO is a liquid, strongly
alkaline immersion cleaner to rapidly and economically
remove strong rust and other corrosion deposits, heat
deposits, colour as well as grease and dirt deposits in a
single work step.
With this product, a liquid alternative to the proven powder
product BONDERITE C-AK ARR-4181 AERO is available
now.
Storage and handling are considerably simplified within the
meaning of occupational health and safety.
BONDERITE C-AK 4181 L AERO can be used in a normal
immersion bath, electrolytic and ultrasonic process.
It leaves a perfect surface. Steel components do not
discolour. The base metal is not attacked. Components
made from copper, brass and their alloys are slightly etched.
All surfaces are left with a clean and shiny appearance.
BONDERITE C-AK 4181 L AERO prevents quick rusting
after treatment. Hydrogen embrittlement does no occur when
applied to iron or steel.
