What does AGMAKLENZ 42W do?

AGMAKLENZ 42W is a highly alkaline powder concentrate formulated for the removal of oils, greases, carbon, rust, scale and paint. The cleansing action of AGMAKLENZ 42W is a detergent one; that is to say, it penetrates surface films of many different types and mechanically lifts them from the underlying sound material, breaking them up and dispersing them into the body of the solution. Water softeners ensure that none of the product's power is lost, even in the hardest waters, and dispersants ensure that contamination removed from dirty surfaces is held in solution to prevent resoiling.

The benefits of alkaline cleaning

B Because the cleaning operation is a surface action, it ceases as soon as the base material is clean. There is no risk of dissolution or pitting of the base metal. There are no harmful or corrosive vapours as is the case with many acid cleaning processes.

Since there is no attack on sound ferrous metals, mild steel tanks and trays are adequate. The need for rubber-lined tanks and stainless equipment is eliminated.

Maintenance of the solution during its useful life is limited to skimming off surface oils and replacing evaporation losses with additions of water.
