Product Operating Procedure
Fill the Kemclean-K-10 tank with 2/3 of water and heat it upto 45°C. Add 5 kgs. Of Kemclean-K-10 powder in 100 ltr. bath with continuous agitation till the chemical is completely dissolved. Fill the tank to the operating level and raise the temperature. Stir the bath and draw the bath sample for determining of pointage.
Strength of Kemclean-K-10 bath can be increased if the components are heavily contaminated with heavy oil or grease. It is therefore advisable that heavily contaminated components should be pre-dipped in soak cleaner or emulsion cleaner, which may help to remove the oil grease from the surface of the components with in very short period of time, ultimately pre-dip cleaning will also help to increase the life of the degreasing bath. 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 effected even if the concentration and the treatment time are increased. The components should be thoroughly rinsed with over flowing system until unless kemclean-K-10 is completely removed.
Product Application Equipment
Kemclean-K-10 tank should be fabricated with 3 to 4 mm-thick M.S. Plates with continuous agitation arrangement by convection from a heating unit. Agitation should be provided.
Testing and Control Procedure
Pipette out 10 ml. Bath solution in a conical flask. Add 90 ml. Of distilled water and add 2-3 drops indicator methyl orange. Titrate it against N/10 sulphuric acid till the colour changes from yellow to red. The burette reading is the pointage of the bath solution. The pointage of the degreasing bath should always be maintained at the recommended level.
Chemical Replenishment
The efficiency of the degreasing bath falls due to carry over of oils coming from jobs which gets emulsified in the bath solution and the presence of the sludge at the bottom. At this kemclean-K-10 bath should be discarded. During the use of bath pointage is reduced it should be replenished by adding chemical to restore specified bath pointage.
Safety Measures
Kemclean-K-10 contact with skin, eyes, mouth and clothing should be avoided and proper safety precautions are to be taken by the operators using gloves, goggles, and safety clothing's. In case of accident, the affected portions are to be continuously flushed with water and get medical treatment.
