Description
A highly efficient degreasing agent for hydrochloric acid. In general it is used at ambient temperature. The baths can be used at 20 - 25°C up to Fe contents of 100 - 120 g/l. At this Fe range they have to be disposed of as the surface active substances will become insoluble at the high electrolyte contents.
Benefits
- A highly concentrated, liquid compound of wetting agent and inhibitor quickly and homogenously dispersing in diluted acids.
- The liquid form allows an easy dosing of the product.
- Disposes of an excellent emulsification for a short period of time for grease, mineral oils and paraffins which enables a quick separation of oil and grease.
- At optimum efficiency KEBOSOL ZN should be applied in connection with an oil separating device only (oil separator, scimming off a.s.o.).
- Produces light as well as clean surfaces and after being thoroughly washed off it does not affect the subsequent treatments (e.g. hot metallizations and phosphatizations).
Dosing, Addition
KEBOSOL ZN is directly added to acid solutions. The consumption is dependent on the degree of contamination (grease and oil).
- in case of normal or minor contamination with oil and grease 0.5 % = 5 kg KEBOSOL ZN / m3
- in case of considerable contamination with oil and grease 1 - 2 % = 10 - 20 kg KEBOSOL ZN / m3
Pickling of High-Tensile Parts
For the pickling of high-tensile steels a concentration of HCl of 15 % (fresh preparation) up to 8 % is recommended, the acid losses in the pickling bath should not be replaced. In this concentration range the inhibition effect of KEBOSOL ZN on the hydrogen absorption by the pickling material is particularly high.
- 2 % = 20 kg KEBOSOL ZN / m3

The products shown on our website are only a selection of our entire product range. There is no universal remedy for the rapid removal of impurities. Some can be removed well with alkaline agents, others better in the acidic range. The large variety of conceivable cleaning problems and the large number of additives, inhibitors and ready-to-use cleaning solutions offered by us make it advisable to obtain detailed advice before starting cleaning.
The same applies to inhibitors, defoamers, scale preventers, corrosion inhibitors, pickling inhibitors, etc. Depending on the plant, material, product and the type of boiler/cooling water is used, different individual challenges arise. We are well equipped for them.

On request, we can analyze deposits in our laboratory and develop a cleaning strategy based on our many years of experience, taking into account the conditions on site.
