CR-2001 effectively removes rust, oil, grease, carbon, scale, paints and is mainly used for:

• rust, carbon, oil, grease and paint removal in one operation.
• heat scale conditioning for aircraft engine compounds.
• processing steel prior to phosphating
• processing magnesium prior to DOW coating.
• preparation of cast iron and steel in electrolytic tank, prior to plating.
• Any application where an alkaline, corrosion, rust and paint remover is required.

CR-2001 is used in dip tanks.

The immersion time depends on the amount of soil to be removed but generally a 15 – 60 minutes immersion time is sufficient to remove the most soil.

Air or mechanical agitation of the solution reduces the immersion time.

It is safe on ferrous, magnesium, titanium and stainless steel but should not be used on aluminum, tin, zinc and their alloys.

Rust, carbon and paint removal:   15 – 40% in water at 90o – 100oC.

Heat scale conditioning:   25 – 40% in water at 90o – 100oC.

Titanium cleaning:   5 – 7% in water at 70o – 75oC.

Magnesium cleaning:   3 – 4% in water at 90o – 100oC.

Tank may be constructed of mild steel with stainless (type 316) heating unit.

Recommended concentration:   6 –20% in water at 85-95oC.

Voltage:   6-8 volts.

Amperage:   10 – 25 Ampere per dm2

Fast results are obtained by a short anodic cycle (30-60 seconds) followed by cathodic cycle for remainder of immersion time.

To keep hydrogen embrittlement within acceptable limits, a 30 seconds cathodic cycle followed by 60 – 120 seconds anodic cycle, repeated until parts are clean, is recommended.

The rinsing should be done either by overflowing, agitated water rinse (preferably hot), hot or cold water with pressure or with a steam cleaner.
