E-Kleen 173-E is a mildly alkaline powdered mixture which is highly fortified with surface active agents, detergents, suspension agents and builders which is dissolved in water for the fast, effective cleaning of metals.
Corrosive
Irritant
E-Kleen 173-E is recommended for applications where there is limited cleaning equipment - no secondary soak available. It is excellent for short cleaning cycles.
It is recommended as a cathodic cleaner for diecast zinc and white metal with a short current reversal to anodic just prior to removal of a rack, if reversing switches are available. If not, leave cathodic at low current.
It is an excellent combination of soak and anodic electrocleaner for steel and works well anodically on brass and copper.
