TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

METFIN AD 01

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Metfin AD01 is a high performance detergent additive specifically formulated to enhance the degreasing capability of iron phosphate conversion products. It may also be used to extend the soil removal capability of a wide range of acidic cleaning solutions.

Metfin AD01 may be added to hydrochloric acid pickling solutions for effective degreasing of mild steel in the galvanising industry. The foaming tendency of Metfin AD01 is low during the pickling of steel.
