Ardrox 185L

ARDOX 185L is a water miscible liquid giving a strong alkaline solution containing sequestrants. It may be used in place of 185 powder, thus minimising the exothermic reaction, which occurs when caustic powders are dissolved in water.

ARDOX 185L is primarily intended for the removal of rust from iron and steel but is also capable of removing oil, grease and some air dried paints. ARDOX 185L does not cause hydrogen embrittlement of high tensile steels and there is markedly less tendency for re-rusting to occur than with acid pickling techniques.
