Elma Lab Clean S15

DESCRIPTION:

elma lab clean S15 (ELC S15) is a mildly acidic concentrate for ultrasonic cleaning and passivation of medical instruments, implants, lab instruments and work pieces. It is suitable for ultrasonic cleaning of stainless steel, non-ferrous and light metals e.g. aluminium, glass and plastics as well as for the “passivation” of stainless and less chromium-containing steels. Brass and copper alloys are brightened up. Removes mineral grease and oil, oxide layers (e.g. verdigris), rust and lime.

APPLICATION AND DOSAGE

1. Cleaning in the ultrasonic bath: Dosage: 1 - 5 vol-% in water, i.e. for 1 litre 1 vol-% solution mix 10 ml elma lab clean S15 (ELC S15) with 990 ml water (Temperature: 30-80 °C • Cleaning time: about 2 min.)
