LOTOXANE A415/C043

LOTOXANE® is a highly refined solvent blend offering a combination of low odour excellent degreasing power and minimal residue on drying. Due to its high purity Lotoxane® provides a safer alternative to the most hazardous solvents used throughout Industry, it is not classified as flammable, and controlled evaporation reduces exposure in the workplace. Lotoxane® therefore provides one solution for use on even the most sensitive metals and plastics and in critical applications as well as for general oil and grease removal.

• Highly refined for minimal residue on drying.

• Low odour and controlled evaporation reduce exposure in the workplace.

• Contains no aromatic hydrocarbons and with a flash point of 62°C is not classified as flammable.

• Excellent compatibility with metals and most plastics.

• Tested and approved by aerospace and other critical manufacturers.

• Superb degreasing performance.

• Suitable for use in ultrasonic cleaning systems.

• Can be used in heated tanks at temperatures up to 40°C.

• Provides a versatile degreasing solution to meet all manufacturing, maintenance, inspection and surface preparation needs.

• Can reduce solvent consumption, reducing cost in use and aiding compliance with VOC limits.

• Removal of oils, greases, machining fluids, hydraulic fluids, and hydrocarbon-based protective coatings in manufacturing processes.

• Ultrasonic cleaning.

• Pre cleaning prior to NDT testing or inspection.

• Final cleaning prior to welding, painting, bonding or coating.

• Degreasing of machinery, components and assemblies during maintenance and repair.

• Cleaning electrical and electronic equipment.

• De-watering following aqueous processing. Application of Lotoxane to wet surfaces will dispel unwanted water from components and electrical systems.

Lotoxane® may be applied to the surface by brush or spray, agitate stubborn deposits if required with a brush and wipe away residues with clean cloth.

 

The product may be left to air dry naturally.

 

Lotoxane® is also suitable for use in dip tank applications. Dip components in Lotoxane®, allow a short contact time, remove from the solution and allow to drain. Heavily soiled components may require agitation with a brush. To reduce losses from the tank it is advised that a close fitting lid is used when the tank is not in use. To further enhance performance and to reduce drying times Lotoxane® may also be heated up to 40°C, where tank design allows. For optimum performance in ultrasonic cleaning systems a frequency of 25 kHz is recommended. Due to the self-heating ability of such systems a temperature control should be installed on the machine to ensure operating temperature remains below 40°C.

 

Whilst components may be allowed to air dry naturally drying times can be reduced by wiping away excess material with a cloth or by employing forced air drying techniques.
