Ardrox 2302 Paint & Carbon Remover

Ardrox 2302 is a mixture of solvents, activators and corrosion inhibitors. It consists of two layers: an upper layer oil seal to prevent evaporation of the active paint removing solvents in the lower layer.Ardrox 2302 contains no phenolic compounds, aromatic solvents or heavy metals.

Ardrox 2302 will remove a wide range of paint schemes including baked acrylics, epoxies,polyurethanes, and phenolics. It will also remove carbon or carbonaceous deposits, polymerized gum and lacquer deposits.

Application:

Ardrox 2302 is used as supplied. The total content of the container must be emptied into the tank. The recommended operating temperature range is 80 - 110°C (176 - 230°F). The product may be used for short periods at higher temperatures up to a maximum of 140°C (284°F) for removal of more obdurate finishes. In all cases, ensure, that the seal is properly maintained and all local regulations complied with, considering the 108°C (228°F) flash point of the lower layer.

• Immersion - Immerse dry components to be stripped in Ardrox 2302 in the lower layer until paint or carbon deposits have become fully softened or detached.
• Drain - drain components (over Ardrox 2302 tank) for approximately one minute.
• Immersion - Immerse components in an Ardrox primary cleaner at 10% by volume at room to reduce vapors and aid subsequent pressure rinsing.
• Pressure rinse - Pressure rinse components. The use of an Air/Water Gun or high pressure water rig is recommended.
• Dry - Dry components thoroughly using compressed air (or an air recirculation oven at 40- 80°C / 140 - 176°F).
