                      AmberClean™ L12A

                      Aqueous Metal Cleaner

                      AmberClean™ L12A is a multipurpose, biodegradable cleaner, which does not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or ozone depleting substances. AmberClean L12As unique water-based formulation is founded on new cleaning technology and, as such, possesses a degree of environmental and personal safety that exceeds typical cleaners for similar applications. AmberClean L12As powerful surface active agents cut through and remove combinations of grease, oil, dirt, waxes, cutting fluids, lubricants and other organic contaminants from soiled surfaces. Innovative Organics' proven corrosion inhibition technology protects metal surfaces during cleaning processes without the use of silicates. AmberClean L12A is well suited for immersion or hand-wipe applications and may be used with ultrasonic tanks, re-circulation pumps or other similar equipment.

                      Additional Information

                      Recommended Process Parameters

                      AmberClean™ L12A should be diluted with soft or deionized water to a concentration of 5.0% to 25.0% and used at a temperature of ambient to 140°F.  A deionized water rinse is recommended following processing with AmberClean L12A.  In applications replacing solvent or vapor degreasing, AmberClean L21A, a non-silicated aqueous cleaner, should follow the rinse step in lieu of traditional alkaline cleaners.
