Technical Bulletin
Description :
It is a highly effective alkaline soak cleaner which will remove a wide variety of soils including mineral oils, greases, machine oils and lanolin from ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Application :
This is highly concentrate product use for cleaning of ferrous and non ferrous metals. Easly emulsify and removing the oil and grease , from machinery.
Dose :
This is highly concentrate materials in powder form. Make the solution as below –

||
Tanks : Mild or stainless steel or other materials suitable for use with alkaline solutions.
Heaters : PTFE, stainless steel or mild steel immersion heaters or steam coils.
If in any doubt as to the cleaning procedure please contact Rx Marine International Technical Department.
- ¾ fill tank with water.
- Add the required weight of Soak Clean Emulsifier PWD with stirring to dissolve.
- Make up to final volume with water.
- Heat to operating temperature
Maintenance and Control :
The volume of the solution should be maintained regularly by the addition of water. It is recommended that automatic level controllers are fitted to the tank to ensure constant solution concentration and protect heaters.
The solution should be analysed regularly and replenished as necessary. See the analysis procudure as below. The solution should be discarded and a fresh one made-up when the solution is so loaded with absorbed soils that replenishment has no effect on cleaning time.
Analysis Method
Reagents :
1N hydrochloric acid
Methyl red indicator (dissolve 0.04 g in 100 ml of 20% methanol).
Method :
- Pipette a 25.0ml sample of cooled working solution into a 250ml conical flask.
- Dilute to 100ml with de-ionised water and add 2-3 drops of methyl red indicator.
- Titrate with 1N hydrochloric acid to a red end point.
- Record titre = T mls.
Calculation :
T x 3.65 = g/L Soak Clean Emulsifier PWD
Replenishment
For every 1g/L required add 1g/L Soak Clean Emulsifier PWD
Future and Benefit :
- Suitable for rack and barrel operation.
- Versatile – ferrous and non-ferrous metals can be cleaned.
- Economical – long life and effective cleaning.
- Emulsifies and saponifies oils to prevent oil flotation.
Disposal : Dispose of in accordance with local authority requirements.
