SAFECHEM, a pioneer in the field of modified alcohols, has introduced the next generation to the market. DUALENE™ 1601 S sets a new benchmark for process stability in high-precision metal cleaning. It is the first pre-stabilized, pure and factory-fresh modified alcohol on the market designed for a wide range of industrial metal cleaning applications.
Process stability is important for successful cleaning with modified alcohols. However, outsourcing trends in the supply chain or changing formulations of manufacturing oils create uncertainties regarding the origin and type of contaminants entering the cleaning system, as well as the origin of acids. These can have a negative impact on stability in the cleaning process.
With an integrated alkalinity buffer, DUALENE™ 1601 S increases process stability right from the start compared to other modified alcohols. DUALENE™ 1601 S can improve process safety in all applications, it is especially recommended for demanding applications with high stability requirements, e.g. when
- chlorinated oils are cleaned. The formation of hydrochloric acids is prevented, which could lead to corrosion of critical machine parts.
- Large quantities of particles are present, especially aluminum, iron, copper and zinc. The particles of such reactive metals can accelerate the formation of acids in the machine.
- unknown impurities are cleaned off (e.g. contract cleaning).
Due to its polar and non-polar properties, DUALENE™ 1601 S can clean oils, greases, polar oil additives and corrosion inhibitors just as effectively as moist emulsion residues.
Its outstanding cleaning result is comparable to DOWCLENE™* 1601, SAFECHEM's reference product in the metal cleaning industry with a large number of approvals and validations.
