CONCENTRATED CLEANING CHEMISTRIES |
| |
|
Branson offers a complete line of cleaning chemistries
for many applications and most are concentrated and
offered in quarts, gallons, 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon
drums. Following is a list of available chemistries and
included with each cleaner description are links for downloading
PDF (Acrobat) document files. One file is literature,
detailing the compositions and action of the cleaner,
the other is the Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). |

OC - OPTICAL CLEANER |
|
Alkaline, non-foaming, liquid detergent formula for the optical,
glass and lens manufacturing industry. Removes general
soils, fingerprints, cerium oxide, pitch, and blocking
waxes from optical lenses. It is very effective in
removing polishing compounds from glass and optical
surfaces prior to deposition of coatings.

JC - JEWELRY CLEANER |
|
Biodegradable, phosphate-free alkaline cleaner for
cleaning jewelry and precious metals. Removes general
soils, particulates, fingerprints, oils, and oxides
that accumulate with normal use. Gemstones and
precious metals alike are quickly and safely restored
to their original brilliance with this free-rinsing
solution.

BC - BUFFING COMPOUND |
|
Biodegradable, phosphate-and caustic-free cleaner
developed for removing buffing compound. - A blend of
non-ionic surfactants, detergents, and emulsifiers,
designed to remove the most difficult buffing
compounds and polishing agents. Nonviscous liquid
rapidly removes tripoli, rouge, lime, diamond tripoli,
etc. from buffed components, and rinses freely and
quickly.

OR - OXIDE REMOVER |
|
Blend of
detergents and acidic chemistries which is both
phosphate-free and biodegradable. Rapidly removes rust
and oxides from all metals It is used in cleaning and
reconditioning materials and components requiring
removal of oxides that result from storage or assembly
operations.

EC - ELECTRONICS CLEANER |
|
Biodegradable, phosphate and caustic free alkaline
cleaner formulated for electronic industrial use.
Formulated to remove light oils, rosins, fluxes and
other soils from surfaces normally encountered in the
electronic, plating, and other related industries.
Applications include: Cleaning during manufacturing
assembly of infrared detectors, cleaning electrical
contacts and leads, and cleaning ceramic insulators
and component. Whether cleaning through -hole or
surface mount printed circuit boards, Branson EC does
the job effectively and economically.

GP - GENERAL PURPOSE |
|
Biodegradable
caustic-free alkaline cleaner. Removes general soils,
fingerprints, dust, packaging particulates, and light
oils and greases from components in general
manufacturing areas, instrument shops,
telecommunications applications, and other light
industrial manufacturing and fabricating facilities.

IS - INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH |
|
Biodegradable
phosphate and caustic-free alkaline cleaner for heavy
industrial use. Removes grease, oils, and particulates
automotive, aircraft, and similar mechanical
components; oils and lubricants from machined parts
and stampings in machine and metalworking shops. It is
often used by chemical plants, petrochemical
refineries, appliance factories, telecommunications
equipment producers, printing plants, and other
industrial manufacturing and fabricating facilities.

MC-1 METAL CLEANER |
|
Biodegradable, phosphate and caustic free alkaline
cleaner formulated for heavy duty industrial use.
Removes oils, greases and a wide variety of soils from
aluminum and aluminum alloys as well as copper, brass,
and steel substrates. Effective in removing stamping
and cutting lubricants, and light polishing media.
MC-1 displaces soils and floats them to the surface
for easy removal with a skimmer.

MC -
2 METAL CLEANER |
|
Biodegradable, phosphate and caustic free alkaline
cleaner formulated for general purpose and normal
maintenance cleaning applications. Removes oils,
greases and a wide variety of soils from steel alloys,
titanium alloys, copper , copper alloys and stainless
steel (not recommended for aluminum or aluminum
alloys). Effective in removing stamping and cutting
lubricants and light polishing media. MC-2 is an
emulsifying cleaner which holds soils in suspension
preventing redeposition on clean parts.

RS - RUST STRIPPER |
|
Powdered
Concentrate is a phosphate-free, highly-alkaline
cleaner formulated for heavy-duty cleaning and rust
removal. A special blend of free caustic alkaline salt
and a special wetting agent ensures maximum cleaning
performance in the most difficult tasks. Used for
derusting and descaling of ferrous metals, paint
stripping, degreasing, mold cleaning, and heavy-duty
cleaning in the metals, petroleum, food, and
transportation industries. Heavy greases, oils, and
carbonaceous soils are readily removed from internal
combustion engine parts and components. Light to
medium scale can be removed from titanium.

WARNING: Free hydrogen may be released if solution comes in
contact with reactive metals.
** No effect is solution temperature is less than 140
degrees Fahrenheit. |

Solution concentrations may
vary. The amount used depends on the particular solution and
the type of soil to be removed. Follow the instructions on the
solution container. |
