The higher the solution temperature the better the cleaning effect. An agitated solution facilitates the cleaning even more ( steam, not compressed air ). For steel parts a maximum temperature of 80 ° C is recommended since deposits of dried cleaning solution cannot be removed by rinsing with water. Contact time ranges between 1 and 20 minutes and depends on the amount of deposits to be removed.
After degreasing rinse first with cold and then with hot water ( 50 – 60 ° C) and subsequently neutralize with an acid solution.
