Graymills Parts Cleaning Solutions

General Purpose Solvents

Detergent Neutralizer System

Easily treat used water-based alkaline detergent solution for sewer disposal.This exclusive system from Graymills greatly reduces the volume of hazardous waste to lower your disposal costs. And, it’s easy to use.

Simple, Two-Part System

Consists of Oil Absorbent Pads which pick up floating oil from the surface of the solution in your parts cleaner tank, plus a Detergent Neutralizer Powder to treat the used solution to meet local and federal regulations for approved sewer disposal.

Note: Approval is required from your local sanitation or waste disposal authority. Just have a neutralized sample analyzed by a laboratory and submit the results to your local authority. Approval to dispose of treated waste solution is usually granted so long as your process does not change. The remaining small amount of sludge must be disposed of in accordance with local and federal regulations for hazardous solid waste.

How it works:

• Oil Absorbent Pad – Absorbs up to 25 times its own weight in oil while repelling water. Simply place one 18" square pad on the surface of the solution and gently sweep the oil from the surface. continue until all floating oil is removed.

• Detergent Neutralizer Powder – Add while stirring or agitating with the parts cleaner pump. As you add powder the solution first turns a red to purple color, finally turning milky white when sufficient neutralizer has been added (approximately on to six ounces per gallon of tank solution). Let it sit overnight s that sludge settles to bottom of tank allowing clear waste solution to be drawn off.

Additional Uses:

• Graymills Detergent Neutralizer Powder may also be used to clean up and dispose of accidental spills of caustic liquids. A great aid to safety and convenience in the laboratory and/or in the plating shop.

• Graymills Oil Absorbent Pads may also be used for clean-up of oily tote pans in machine shops, for removal of oil and chips from machine tools and floor areas around lathes and drill presses, and for placement under machine oil leaks until repairs can be made.

Aqueous Based Nutrient-Filled Solutions for Bioremediation Parts Cleaners

Biotene and Super Biotene are pH neutral (7.0) industrial cleaners that are aqueous based and intended for specific use with the Biomatic Bio436 and BioFilters. They are mixtures of emulsifiers and surfactants with a mild pleasant odor containing no volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Biotene is a top-notch cleaner for machining, general automotive and tool rebuilding applications.

Super Biotene is a more concentrated solution working wonders where heavy greases are a factor, such as engine rebuilding, construction and mining applications.

Both formulations:

• Contain corrosion inhibitors

• Leave no residue

• Are fast drying

• Have USDA approval

• Are certified for use in southern California

Solutions

• Biotene® is best suited for most machining, general automotive and tool rebuilding applications. This formula works best heated to 105°F. Available in 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drums.

• Super Biotene® is a slightly more concentrated solution, and is best used when heavier greases and contaminates are a factor, such as engine rebuilding, constructions and mining applications. This formula works best heated to 105°F. Preblended solution is available in 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drums. Concentrate is available in 1-, 5- and 55-gallon containers.

Aqueous Based Biodegradeable Akaline Cleaners

Versatile Aquatene cleaners can be used for removing virtually any organic or inorganic soil. Typical organic soils include greases, oils, and soft carbons. Inorganic soils include epoxies, hard water residue, corrosion, oxides, paints, plating salts, rust and smut.These water soluble cleaners work most effectively when heated and require only a water rinse.

Aquatene 330, 360, 390 and 571 solution can be used to clean most metallic, rubber and elastomer parts (some of which can be damaged when cleaned by solvents). Plated materials should be trial cleaned to test compatibility.

• Aquatene™ 330 is a general purpose cleaner in liquid concentrate form. For faster cleaning action it may be heated to 180˚F (82˚C). Available in 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drums.

• Super Aquatene™ 360 is effective for cleaning oil and light grease as well as removing certain buffing and lapping compounds. A liquid concentrate without phosphates, it cleans best when heated between 140˚ and 160˚F (60˚ to 71˚C). Available in 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drums.

• Aquatene™ 390 is a low foam cleaning fluid concentrate specially designed for jet spray cabinets or other applications where foaming has been a problem. It contains a rust inhibitor and no phosphates or silicones. Not to be used for cleaning non-ferrous metals. This formula works best heated between 115°F - 150°F. Available in 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drums.

• Aquatene™ 571 is specially formulated for cleaning aluminum and other nonferrous metals. Use heated up to 180˚F (82˚C) for most effective action. A powdered detergent available in 25 lb. pails or 100 lb. fiber drums.

• Aquatene™ 581 is for use on ferrous metals. Heated to 200˚F (93˚C) it effectively removes surface rust. Free rinsing properties ensure a uniform process surface, prior to secondary metal treatments. Should be used hot, 150˚ to 210˚F (65˚ to 99˚C). Mixes 2 to 3 ounces of powder to one gallon of water for light duty cleaning, and up to 16 ounces of powder to one gallon of water for rust removal applications. Powder in 100 lb. fiber drums.
