These cleaners are used for removing grease, carbon and resin-like coatings from automotive engine parts such as carburetors, valves and other functional rods, gears, etc. It is current practice to lower the parts to be cleaned into the cleaning solution in an oversized 5-gal pail, using a perforated basket. Loss of the volatile ingredients is kept to a minimum by a water blanket which floats on the heavier solvent layer. Formulations therefore must contain sufficient chlorinated or other heavier than water solvents to ensure that the specific gravity of the solvent mix is appreciably heavier than water. An effort is being made to replace the high-odor cresylic acid with other low-odor solvents. The following formula can be taken as typical of this type of product Orthodichlorobenzene/20.0 25% Potassium hydroxide solution/0.4 Cresylic acid/20.0 Water for tall oil and alkali mix/5.0 Methylene glycol/41.0 Sodium chromate (Anti
配制方法:
Instead of using a tall-oil/alkali premix, the formulator can add the potassium hydroxide solution to the water and the tall oil to the solvent mix to give across-the-boundary neutralization.
