Oakite 61B

Oakite 61B is an inhibited, alkaline, immersion powder cleaner for aluminum and aluminum alloy castings, forgings and sheet. It is also suitable for cleaning other metals such as steel, magnesium or titanium. It is especially formulated to remove stenciled identification inks (even baked-on inks), oils and shop soils with no attack on the base metal. Oakite 61B is free-rinsing and provides a chemically clean, water-break free surface. It is is particularly suited for lines processing aluminum per US military specification MIL-DTL5541 Type I. Oakite 61B is composed of a blend of biodegradable surfactants and silicate and phosphate containing mineral builders. Sequesters ensure efficiency in hard waters. It is odorless and has moderate tendency to foam.
