Additional Product Information
Overview
Ardrox 6486 is a versatile, biodegradable, aqueous alkaline cleaner specifically formulated for aerospace use. It combines strong alkali builders, corrosion inhibitors, sequestrants, and surfactants to deliver excellent cleaning performance with minimal foam. With a high pH of approximately 12.7, it effectively removes oils and greases while protecting base metals such as aluminium, steel, and titanium during cleaning. As a concentrate, it can be diluted for immersion tanks, spray-wash systems, or manual cleaning. Its non-flammable and low-foam characteristics make it safe and practical for maintenance facilities, serving as a reliable pre-treatment solution before painting, bonding, or inspection.
