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.

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.

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.

MC - 3 METAL CLEANER

Biodegradable, phosphate and caustic free alkaline cleaner formulated for general purpose and normal maintenance cleaning applications. Removes oils, grease and a wide variety of soils from steel alloys, titanium alloys, copper, copper alloys and stainless steel.. MC-3 is specially-formulated for effective cleaning of active metals like aluminum and aluminum alloys without risk of damage.

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.
