Product Operating Procedure
Bath Make Up
For every 100 ltr. of water 0.025 ltr. of kemplyte-333 to be added in
the bath mix thoroughly and heat the bath at 60-70oC. Bath
should be made preferably of D.M. water or with water, which has total
dissolved solids less than 225 PPM.
Product Application Equipment's
M.S. Tank/Spray Plant.
Testing and Control Procedure
Free Acidity
Pipette out 100 ml bath solution sample and add drops of Indicator
Bromocresol Green. When the solution becomes light green note the
consumption of N/10 sodium Hydroxide in the burette applications.
This will give free acidity.
Total Acidity
Pipette out 100 ml. of bath solution in a conical flask. Add 5 6
drops of Phenolphthalein indicator. Titrate it against N/10 sodium hydroxide, when the colour of the solution in the flask becomes permanent
violet 9 for 15 secs) consumption of N/10 sodium Hydroxide in the
burette application. This will give it total acidity.
Chemical Replenishment
To raise the pointage by 1 add 20 ml in 100 ltr of bath solution.
Safety Measures
Kemlyte-333 is a chromic acid based chemical. Proper disposal of
effluent is required after neutralizing chromium.
General Information
Corrosion Resistance
Good Paint Adhesion
Good Gloss Retention.
