pickle solution
Neutral biodegradable surfactant
-Clear colorless liquid

degreasing tank and associated rinse
-Operates at room temperature
Economic benefits
- Possible elimination of separate
alkali-degreasing solution and associated
costs
- Reduced energy costs when
compared to hot alkali degreasing solution
- Possible elimination of a
separate rinse tank & the reduction in water costs and tank maintenance
costs
- The cleaner / pickle solution
does not require rinsing and there are no added costs to introduce the product into
the process
- No maintenance of the product
concentration throughout the lifetime of the pickling solution. Unlike alkali
cleaning solutions that require frequent additions of product, all additions are
made only when the pickle solution is made up. After this no further additions are
usually required
- Reduction in the quantity of
product used in making up a solution. Metfin AD01 is operated at 0.25 % v/v whereas
hot caustic soda based cleaning solutions are operated at 5 % w/w
- No additional disposal costs to
remove the product. The total solution of acid and additive can be disposed of
together
