Ardrox

Ardrox® 188 is an alkaline powder blend containing an oxidizing material, while Ardrox® 188RFU (Ready For Use) is the liquid version of Ardrox® 188 powder. These products are primarily intended to aid in the removal of difficult heat scales, such as those produced on high chromium steels and nickel and cobalt alloys, which are notoriously hard to remove even with strong acids. Ardrox® 188 or Ardrox® 188RFU typically do not remove such scales by themselves but chemically and physically modify them to make them more easily removable by milder and less dangerous methods than using strong acids. The primary application for Ardrox® 188 or Ardrox® 188RFU is in the overhaul of "hot end" components of gas turbine engines.

Ardrox® 311 long-term corrosion preventive is a viscous mineral oil containing corrosion and oxidation inhibitors. It provides long-term storage protection for metal components, particularly in high-humidity conditions. Ardrox® 311 is suitable for lubricating and preserving machine guns and small arms across a range of ambient temperatures from -18 °C and upwards. Additionally, it is appropriate for preserving internal combustion engines and engine components, small mechanisms and roller bearings, instruments, phosphate iron and steel sheets, and aluminum sheets. Ardrox® 311 demonstrates high resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures, even in the presence of copper, making it suitable for machinery operating at high temperatures.

Ardrox® 947 consists of black granules of pure activated carbon, highly effective in removing penetrants and emulsifiers from rinse water. With controlled particle size, it is specifically designed to operate with Ardrox® and Xmor® red dye and fluorescent penetrant systems. Ardrox® 947 is particularly suited for treating rinse waters containing fluorescent penetrants.

Ardrox® 1435 B is a two-part alkaline liquid concentrate containing an oxidizing material. It is designed to aid in removing difficult heat scale from high chromium steels and nickel and cobalt alloys, which are typically resistant to removal even with strong acids. Ardrox® 1435 B does not usually remove these scales on its own but chemically and physically modifies them to be more easily removable by milder and less dangerous methods than strong acids.

Ardrox® 2302 is a mixture of solvents, activators, and corrosion inhibitors. It consists of two layers: an upper oil seal layer to prevent evaporation of the active paint removing solvents in the lower layer. Ardrox® 2302 contains no phenolic compounds, aromatic solvents, or heavy metals. It effectively removes a wide range of paint schemes, including baked acrylics, epoxies, polyurethanes, and phenolics, as well as carbon or carbonaceous deposits, polymerized gum, and lacquer deposits.

Ardrox® 2312 is a blend of non-chlorinated and non-aromatic solvents, combined with an activator, designed for use by immersion at ambient temperatures. The product is readily water washable.

Ardrox® 2526 is a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent and phenol-based, non-flammable paint remover designed to remove resistant types of polyurethane and epoxy surface coatings.

Ardrox® 2871 is a peroxide-accelerated, non-acid paint remover designed to remove durable paint systems, such as epoxy and polyurethane, from aircraft and other surfaces. It does not contain halogenated solvents, and its near-neutral pH and low odor make it suitable for areas where personnel are present. Ardrox® 2871 retains moisture well, preventing it from drying out on surfaces even when left on for extended periods.

Ardrox® 5502 is a clear, colorless, mobile solvent cleaner with varying flash points and volatility levels. It meets MIL-PRF-680 specifications and is designed for general industrial use as a solvent cleaner to remove oils and greases.

Ardrox® 5503 is a clear, colorless, mobile solvent cleaner with varying flash points and volatility levels. It complies with MIL-PRF-680 requirements and is designed for general industrial use as a solvent cleaner to remove oils and greases.

Ardrox® 6367 is a liquid product specially formulated to clean the compressor sections of gas turbine engines. It is solvent-free and effectively removes atmospheric soils, oils, carbon, and salt deposits during both "in-situ" hot-fired and cold motor washes.

Ardrox® 6376 is a liquid multi-metal cleaner designed for tank immersion applications. It blends alkaline salts and wetting agents and is inhibited to safely remove oils, greases, and other production soils from aluminum, copper, magnesium, titanium, and ferrous metals. Ardrox® 6376 is free-rinsing and does not contain APEO, phosphate, EDTA, NTA, or their salts.
