Blasoclean AF
is an alkaline additive for water-miscible cooling lubricants. It can be used to stabilize cooling lubricants and for optimal cleaning and preparation for refilling machine tools and cooling lubricant circuits.
- Product properties Blasoclean AF is an additive with the following properties:
- Good emulsification behavior to stabilize cooling lubricants
- Excellent rinsing behavior to remove residues
- pH amplifier to increase the pH value of cooling lubricants and to reduce unpleasant odors
Notes:
With the addition of Blasoclean AF, the cooling lubricant becomes more active and the pH value is increased. However, the cutting performance is not reduced and foam formation is not increased.
The refractometer factor is 1.8. Therefore, if 1% is added, the refractometer will only read plus 0.55.
Application when Stabilizer Can stabilize water-miscible cooling lubricants that have the following problems:
- Instability (also during deposition) and/or
- Coarsely dispersed emulsion and/or
- Cooling lubricants with a pH value that is too low and/or
- Cooling lubricants with an unpleasant smell and/or
- Cooling lubricants with ferro-corrosion and/or
System cleaning: For flushing out residues ;ends in pipes and tanks.
System cleaner before a planned emulsion change.
Note: The addition of Blasoclean AF increases the concentration of the emulsion and thus reduces the consumption of the concentrate. System cleaner Blasoclean AF is an efficient system cleaner that is added to the emulsion before emptying to clean the machine and create good conditions for refilling. Application such as stabilization of cooling lubricants Dosage: 0.5 - 1.5% based on the total volume, i.e. 5 to 15 liters per 1,000 liters of cooling lubricant.
Stabilization procedure:
- Blasoclean AF is added to a turbulent zone of the emulsion. Remarks:
- In the case of aluminum processing, only 0.5% (5l per 1,000l) is added and the pH value is measured. The process is repeated until a pH of 9.0 is reached.
- The addition can be made regularly (every 2-3 weeks) or continuously (for small quantities). Application like system cleaner (cleaning the machine)
Dosage:
1 - 2% based on the total volume, i.e. 10 up to 20 liters per 1,000 liters of cooling lubricant.
Cleaning procedure: Blasoclean AF is added during normal production of the emulsion.
Then continue to work normally for at least 48 hours, but ideally 7 days.
A cleaning time of 24 hours is also possible, but cleaning usually takes more time.
Notes:
- If the pH value is higher than 9.2, there is a risk of aluminum corrosion.
- Blasoclean AF removes residues from the surface that can lead to filter clogging
- Clean the machine mechanically using a cloth, brush and high-pressure cleaner.
- The mixture of emulsion and Blasoclean AF is then vacuumed off and disposed of.
- Rinse with a 1-2% fresh emulsion. Let them stir for at least ½ hour.
- Suck off the fresh emulsion completely again.
