SUKLEEN is a specially formulated new generation, silicate LIQUID OR POWER electro-degreaser suitable for both high & low current density continuous electrolytic cleaning lines (ECL) prior to batch annealing furnace (BAF). It is also suitable for spray / dip type pre cleaning/EC application.
SUKLEEN is an excep tionally effe ctive Sodium and p otas sium hydr oxides ba sed heavy du ty Phospha te enri ched Silicate liquid electro- cleaner designed to remove various types of Coolants black an d b rown pa tches , Rolling oils, iron s oaps, metallic sm uts as well as carbo naceo us dirt from C old r olled coils in ECL.
SUKLEEN is a composite cleaner in which all the required ingredients have been incorporated. Only defoamer (SUFOAM) has to be added separately to control foaming in the cleaning / degreasing operation.
BASIC SYSTEM INGREDIENTS:
SYSTEM CONSTITUENTS
INITIAL BATH MAKE UP:
Add 30 – 80 kg of SUKLEEN in water per 1000 L bath.
OPERATING PARAMETERS:
| Precleaning (PDT) | Electrocleaning (ECT) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| SUKLEEN (g/L) | 20 – 50 | 40 – 80 | |
| Working Temperature (0C) | 65 – 75 | 70-80 | |
| Contact Time (sec) | - | depend on line design | |
| Polarity | Anodic/Cathodic/bipolar | - | |
| Oil load tolerance (g/L) max. | 4.0 | 2.5 | |
EQUIPMENT :
Tanks and heaters should be constructed with mild steel
ANALYTICAL CONTROL:
Determination of bath Concentration of SUKLEEN
Pipette 10 ml of working ba th s olution in to a 250ml conical flask. Add 50 ml of de - mineralized water. Add 2-3 dr ops of p heno lphthalein indica tor . Titr ate with 1.0(N) sulphuric acid pink to a clear colourless end poin t.
Concentration of SUKLEEN (g/L) = ml of 1.0(N) sulphuric acid (BR) X Product Factor
Concentration of SUKLEEN (by w/v %) = ml of 1.0 N sulphuric acid (BR) X Product Factor
REPLENISHMENT:
Analysis the bath a t least o nce or twice in a shift a nd re plenish a ccordingly to main tain the con centration in the opera ting ra nge. The cl eaner ba th has a f oaming te nden cy with incr easing oil load. To su ppress the foam addi tion of defoa mer (SUFOAM) will be required by au tomati c dosing system.
DISCARDAL:
SUKLEEN bath h as a long life due to high oil l oad toleran ce. In sophis tica ted line con ditio ns, i t can be used as a long life cleaner. In general , per missible oil load limits are 4 g/ L & 2. 5 g/L in precleaning an d Electroclea ning ta nk res pectiv ely. To maintain the oil load within the ra n ge,
DISPOSAL:
The was te is str ongly alkaline and may be ne utralised in the ETP plant by using pickling w aste or by mineral acids. After neu tralising, the s upernatant liquid may be dis charged while the sludge may be dumped un dergroun d by follo wing local regulatio ns.
BEST BEFORE END :
1 year from month o f man ufacture.
SAFETY:
SUKLEEN is alkaline in natu re, Aprons , gloves goggles and boo ts should be used while han dling these prod ucts
