Ardrox Orthosil F2 Alkaline Cleaner 25Kg Pail

Ardrox Orthosil F2 is a blend of caustic alkali and silicates in combination with alkali builders and surfactants which can be used either as a soak cleaner or as a spray washing machine additive for the removal of oil, grease and general soils from ferrous components.

Method of use:

When used as a soak cleaner, the normal working concentration for ARDROX ORTHOSIL F2 is between 2 – 5% w/v in water. The resulting solution is used at a temperature between 85°C and its boiling point. Agitation of the solution will reduce cleaning times. When used as a washing machine additive, the normal working concentration is 2 – 5% w/v in water. The operating temperature should be 85°C minimum.
