BONDERITE C-AK RT-1022R utilizes a silicate-free and phosphate-free chemistry, making it environmentally favorable. The product operates through a synergistic blend of organic builders and surfactants that solubilize light oils. It provides a buffered pH mechanism that stabilizes the bath against rapid pH drops, ensuring consistent cleaning performance. It is particularly effective for mixed-metal production lines where minimizing aluminum etching is required while maintaining effective degreasing on steel.
