Technical characteristics
ULTRAFIP 604 is a liquid caustic alkaline product formulated for degreasing stainless steel and ferrous materials. It is recommended for the removal of oils, greasy substances, and carbon residues.
As the product is highly caustic, it causes surface attack on non-ferrous alloys such as aluminum alloys or galvanized iron. Therefore, the use of ULTRAFIP 604 on these types of alloys is not recommended unless a light etching of the surface (priming effect) is desired for subsequent painting. The product must be rinsed thoroughly after degreasing.
The cleaning power of ULTRAFIP 604 is very high, thanks to its substantial package of low-foam surfactants.
Use and Applications
ULTRAFIP 604 is used in spray or immersion degreasing systems under the following operating conditions:
Concentration of ULTRAFIP 604: 10 - 20 g/l
Immersion time: 3 – 6 min
Spray time: 1 – 2 min
The unique formulation of this product also makes it suitable for ultrasonic applications.

Bath control
Take 10 ml of the bath, place in an Erlenmeyer flask (or beaker) and add a few drops of METHYL ORANGE indicator.
The solution appears YELLOW. Titrate with 0.1 N HCl until a RED color appears.
The ml of 0.1 N hydrochloric acid consumed in the titration indicate the points and the total alkalinity of the ULTRAFIP 604 bath. To obtain the bath concentration in g/l, multiply the points by the fixed factor of 1.50.

Power supply
The bath must be checked periodically and maintained at the set concentration with regular additions. Continuous feeding via a dosing pump ensures the best results.
For each missing point and for every 1000 liters of bath, add approximately 1,50 kg of ULTRAFIP 604.
Storage
The product in its original packaging and stored properly (+ 7 ÷ 35°C) has a shelf life of 2 years from the production date. It is recommended not to store at temperatures below 5 °C to prevent freezing.
