BONDERITE C-AK 4215-NC-LT AERO (23-kg-Pail)

BONDERITE C-AK 4215 NC-LT (TURCO 4215 NC-LT)

Overview

BONDERITE C-AK 4215 NC-LT is an alkaline, low-temperature metal cleaning compound developed for use in spray, immersion, and ultrasonic cleaning systems. Manufactured by :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}, it is designed for effective removal of oils, greases, hydraulic fluids, and other contaminants from ferrous and non-ferrous metals prior to critical processes such as bonding, coating, or assembly.

Key Technical Specs

• Product Type: Alkaline metal cleaner (granular blend)
• Application Methods: Spray, immersion, ultrasonic
• Operating Temperature: 45–55°C (typical process range)
• Concentration (Spray): 7–15 g/L
• Concentration (Immersion): 45–60 g/L
• Concentration (Ultrasonic): 4–15 g/L
• Foam Control: Non-foaming under recommended conditions

Performance Features

• Non-corrosive to aluminium, steel, copper, and plated metals
• Free of chromates and harsh caustics
• Effective removal of oils, hydraulic fluids, machining residues, and particulates
• Designed for consistent cleaning under agitation (spray/ultrasonic systems)
• Controlled surfactant system minimizes foaming

Typical Applications

• Aircraft fuel and hydraulic component cleaning
• Pre-treatment before metal bonding and adhesive processes
• General aerospace and industrial metal degreasing
• Precision cleaning of engineered components

Process Guidelines

• Spray cleaning: 45–55°C for 2–4 minutes, followed by rinse
• Immersion cleaning: 45–55°C for 5–10 minutes with agitation
• Ultrasonic cleaning: use at recommended concentration with degassed bath
• Rinse thoroughly after cleaning to remove residues

Bath Control & Maintenance

• Concentration monitored via titration (alkalinity and surfactant methods)
• Bath replenished by adding fresh product to maintain target range
• Performance dependent on temperature and contamination load

Safety & Handling

• Causes eye and skin irritation
• Use protective gloves, goggles, and appropriate PPE
• Ensure adequate ventilation during use
• Store in sealed containers away from heat and sunlight
• Refer to Safety Data Sheet before handling

Packaging & Shelf Life

• Supplied as a white granular powder
• Storage temperature: -10°C to 50°C
• Shelf life: as specified by manufacturer when sealed and stored correctly

Regulatory Notes

• Free from chromates and harsh caustics
• Designed for aerospace and industrial compliance cleaning processes
• Controlled foam system suitable for high-agitation environments

Disclaimer

Performance and suitability depend on operating conditions, contamination type, and process control. Users are advised to conduct validation testing before full-scale application.
