Industrial Metal Cleaning for Aluminum

Neutral and Alkaline

Alkaline and neutral metal cleaners are best suited for oil and grease removal. Hubbard-Hall offers both liquid and powdered formulations that can be matched to the substrate and soil being cleaned.

Aluminum Cleaning: Soak/Ultrasonic for Neutral and Alkaline

Almet B Moderately alkaline, silicated, heavy duty, non-etching soak cleaner, for aluminum alloys, and other non-ferrous metals. Almet B has been formulated to clean fabrication lubricants, shop soils, and identification inks without attacking aluminum.
Aquaease™ PL 72 A16 A mildly alkaline, phosphate containing, water soluble, liquid cleaner for application in either a spiral spray or spiral/scoop washer for cleaning ferrous metals, copper, brass alloys, aluminum alloys and nickel clad stock.
Aquaease™ S 188 NE A water soluble, borate containing, non-silicated, phosphate free, non-etch, mildly alkaline soak cleaner for aluminum, aluminum alloys, and alclad stock. Aquaease™ S 188 NE is formulated to remove stenciling inks, fabrication oils, and shop dirts without etching the aluminum.
Aquaease™ SAL A liquid soak cleaner for aluminum alloys, which contains a unique blend of biodegradable surfactants and a mild inhibited acid. Aquaease™ SAL has excellent rinsing properties creating a water-break free surface.
Aquaease™ SL 80 A liquid, moderately alkaline, phosphate and chelator-free soak cleaner, for non-ferrous metals and ferrous metals. Aquaease™ SL 80 was developed for cleaning chlorinated and sulfurized oils from most metals.
Lusterclean™ 40 LF A mildly alkaline, low foam, water soluble, liquid cleaner developed for cleaning ferrous metals, copper, brass alloys, stainless steels, aluminum, nickel coated stock and nickel alloys in either a soak cleaning, agi-dip soak operations, or spiral washer. Excellent choice for particulate and smut removing when using ultrasonic cleaning equipment.

Acid

Acid metal cleaners consist of primarily liquid inorganic and/or organic acids in combination with synthetic detergents and corrosion inhibitors. Many contain sequestering/chelating agents to facilitate scale and oxide removal.

Aluminum Cleaning: Soak/Ultrasonic for Acid

Acid Brite 40 A phosphoric acid cleaner and deoxidizer for aluminum and stainless steel surfaces. It contains a blend of inorganic acids, surfactants and solvents to remove heavy soils quickly and effectively. It may also be used to descale steel surfaces.
Mi-Clean™ 24

A high-strength, liquid phosphoric acid cleaner concentrate composed of a blend of acid, solvent, surfactants and chelators designed to accomplish in one step, the cleaning and preparation of a variety of metal surfaces prior to blackening, phosphating and chromating.
