Product Operating Procedure
Fill the Kemclean-CDX-40 tank with
2/3 of water and heat it about 50°C. Add 5 kgs. Of
Kemclan-CDX-40 powder in 100 ltrs. bath with continuous agitation
till the chemical is completely dissolved. Fill the tank to the
operating level and raise the temperature to 85°C. Stir the bath
and draw the sample for the determination of pointage.
Strength
of Kemclan-CDX-40 bath can be increased if the components are heavily
contaminated with heavy oil or grease. Maintenance of the temperature
is also a very important factor. If the temperature of the bath is low,
the efficiency of the degreasing chemical will be affected even if
the concentration and the treatment time are increased. The
components should be thoroughly rinsed with over flowing system until
unless Kemclean-CDX-40 is completely removed.
Product Application Equipment
Kemclean-CDX-40
tank should be fabricated with 3 to 4 mm thick M. S. plates with
continuous agitation arrangement by convection current from a heating
unit.
Testing and Control Procedure
Pipette out 10 ml. of the bath solution into a conical flask. Add 90
ml. of distilled water and add 2 to 3 drops of indicator methyl
orange indicator. Titrate against N/10 sulfuric acid till the colour
changes from yellow to red. The burette reading is the pointage. The
pointage of the degreasing should always be maintained at the
recommended level
Chemical Replenishment
The efficiency of the degreasing bath falls due to the carry over of
oils coming from the work, is emulsified in the bath solution and
presence of the sludge at the bottom. At this stage, Kemclean-CDX-40
bath should be discarded.
Safety Measures
Kemclean-CDX-40 contact with skin,
eyes, and clothing should be avoided and proper safety precautions should be taken by the operators by using gloves, goggles and safety
clothing. In case of accident, the affected portions should be
continuously flushed with water and a physician should be immediately consulted.
