Tivaclean is an all purpose cleaning concentrate used to clean both metal and plastic. Tivaclean is used to insure the removal of all polishing rouge, oil, grease, finger prints, etc. on finished products, when stripping is not necessary. Articles to be plated must be thoroughly cleaned before plating. You may use it hot or cold in an ultrasonic cleaning tank or electrocleaning tank. Krohn's Tivaclean is noncasutic with a pH of 9-10 in solution and contains a bio catalyst to unsure biodegradability and eliminates the need to use toxic chlorinated solvents.
