Clean and brighten aluminum welds
Madison Chemical introduces ALUMA-BRIGHT FOAM, an acidic cleaner containing a balanced blend of surfactants and acids for cleaning and brightening aluminum alloys through a moderate etching process, including welds. This blend of surfactants and acids provide the ability to wet out the surface, as the surfactants help the acid penetrate the soils and tramp oxides and allows the liquid to flow across the topography surface well. This also helps to penetrate the various grain boundaries, inclusions, voids, and other imperfections in the surface well. Primarily intended for soak or foam applications, this unique product has a mild, pleasant odor. Suitable for subsurface cleaning and removal of subsurface staining. In addition to cleaning welds, it removes soil and scale buildup, rust blush, rust back, flash rust, and other forms of oxidation, lime, and other scale deposits from drain vestibules during the descaling of the bath stages or recirculating spray washers. It is also helpful in targeting laser scale, heat treat scale, weld marks, red oxides, aluminum smut, plasma smoke residues, and more. ALUMA-BRIGHT FOAM can be used at 65°F to 180°F at concentrations of 1% to 10% by volume with water.
