Brass

E-Kleen 125 — A powdered mixture of surface agents, detergents, suspension agents and buffers which is dissolved in water for the fast effective cleaning of copper, brass, steel and zinc diecast.

This highly buffered material is recommended as a heavy duty electrolytic and soak metal cleaner which will not attack zinc die-castings or slush castings.

It electrolytically removes smut while preventing the redeposition of soils and preparing the surface for electroplating.

E-Kleen 125 is the preferred soak metal cleaner to be used without an intervening water rinse prior to an electrolytic solution of E-Kleen 125.

It can also be used as an electrolytic or soak cleaner for copper, brass and steel.

E-Kleen 125 Operating Parameters – Electrolytically

Lower temperatures (140° to 160° F) may be required with copper and brass. There will be some mild oxidation (darkening) of the copper and brass surfaces during electrolytic cleaning. These oxides are easily removed with a short acid pickle prior to electroplating.

When used as a soak metal cleaner the concentration is maintained at 8 to 10 oz/gal. and temperatures in excess of 160°F. The required cleaning time will depend upon the type and degree of soil on the surfaces and on the concentration and temperature of the solution.

E-Kleen 148-E — A liquid emulsifiable alkaline soak cleaner for steel and all metals.

E-Kleen 148-E is a heavy duty liquid detergent formulation which is very effective at low operating temperatures on all metal surfaces and without etching aluminum. E-Kleen 148-E is an emulsifiable soak metal cleaner and is suited for use on Insta-Blak, plating, and phosphatizing lines. It contains no chelaters.

E-Kleen 148-E is ideal for cleaning metal parts in soak cleaning.

E-Kleen 148-E is a low caustic, emulsifiable (doesn’t float oil) cleaner.

Operating Parameters

The required cleaning time will depend on the type and degree of soil present on the metal surfaces and on the concentration and temperature of the E-Kleen 148-E solution.
