Verified Parts Washing & Metal Treatment Products

High-concentration concentrates formulated for downstream injector delivery, high-pressure foam cannons, or direct tank immersion.

APW-PC

APW Pro Clean

pH: 9.2 – 9.8 (Multi-Metal Safe Alkaline)

APW Pro Clean is an engineered aqueous detergent developed specifically for automatic rotary parts washers and immersion wash tanks. Formulated with low-foaming surfactants that remain stable under 10+ BAR mechanical spray pressures at 60°C–80°C. Delivers rapid degreasing of aluminium cylinder heads, cast iron blocks, and brass valves while leaving a microscopic corrosion-inhibiting monolayer that protects bare ferrous components from flash rusting for up to 60 days.

Dilution Ratio:3% to 8% concentration by volume in water reservoir (approx. 1:12 to 1:30)
Form:Concentrated Liquid / Powder Option
Pack Sizes:25L Drum / 205L Barrel / 1000L IBC
Thermal Emulsification Thermodynamics

Why Alkota chemistry is formulated for heat.

Standard consumer detergents break down and evaporate when exposed to 80°C hot water. Alkota industrial chemistry is chemically engineered with heat-stable surfactants that accelerate saponification under high thermal exchange.

Combining Alkota hot-water Schedule 80 coil delivery with our verified chemical range allows operators to reduce chemical dosage by up to 60% while cutting wash time in half.

Alkota Chemical Advantages:

Downstream Injection Safe

Prevents aggressive chemical exposure to high-pressure pump valves and seals.

Coil Scaling Inhibitors

Chelating agents bind calcium and magnesium to prevent internal heat exchanger furring.

Rapid Phase Separation

Designed for wash bay oil-water interceptors to satisfy Environment Agency trade effluent rules.

Full COSHH Compliance

UK CLP compliant safety data sheets and bilingual container labeling.
