Zerust® AxxaWash™ Cleaner and Degreaser series consist of low foaming* aqueous cleaner and degreaser products that are specifically designed to quickly and effectively remove light to heavy-duty hydrocarbon soils typically encountered in metalworking and metal finishing operations. This series will include alkaline and neutral pH products uniquely formulated to suit customer and part-specific requirements based on substrate type, soil type, methods and parameters of application, as well as cleanliness levels and corrosion inhibition requirements.
Zerust® Product Name | Metals Treated | Effective Against | Dilution Rate | Foam | Rust Inhibitors | Application Methods |
AxxaWash™ KF-121 | For ferrous substrates only (Not compatible for aluminum, copper, bronze, and brass) | Light to medium-duty hydrocarbon soils | 3 – 5% | Low | None | Spray (low to ultra-high pressures), immersion, ultrasonic, and drum washer |
AxxaWash™ KF-123 | For ferrous substrates. Test prior to use on non-ferrous substrates | Light to medium-duty hydrocarbon soils and chloride mitigation | 3 – 5% | Low | Short-term flash-rust protection | Spray (low to mid pressures), immersion, and ultrasonic |
AxxaWash™ KF-124 | Mainly for ferrous substrates and some yellow metal substrates. Not for use with aluminum. Test prior to use on non-ferrous substrates | Light to medium-duty hydrocarbon soils and chloride mitigation | 3 – 5% | Low | Short-term flash-rust protection | Spray (mid to high pressures), immersion, and ultrasonic |
AxxaWash™ KMS-220 | For steel, chrome-plating, and stainless steel substrates. Test prior to use on aluminum, copper, bronze, and brass | Light-duty hydrocarbon soils | 2 – 5% | Low | Short-term flash-rust protection | Spray (low to high pressures), immersion, and ultrasonic |
AxxaWash™ NW-10C | Best for ferrous substrates, safe for all metals except zinc | Chlorides, sulfates, and medium to heavy-duty hydrocarbon soils | 1 – 5% | High | Short-term flash-rust protection | Spray (low to ultra-high pressures, immersion, and ultrasonic |
AxxaWash™ NW-12C | Best for ferrous substrates, safe for all metals except zinc | Chlorides, sulfates, and medium to heavy-duty hydrocarbon soils | 1 – 5% | High | Extended flash-rust protection | Spray (low to ultra-high pressures, immersion, and ultrasonic |
* Foaming propensity and degree of foaming depend on several factors such as temperature, surfactant type, spray application pressure, air entrainment, and type of soil/contaminant.
