PELCO Kleensonic™ WRS Wax Stripper

PELCO Kleensonic™ WRS is an environmentally friendly cleaning compound in powder form formulated for removing mounting waxes used in specimen preparation, semiconductor processing and casting. Needs to be dissolved in water to make the cleaning solution. Primarily designed to dissolve and remove waxes and oils, but Kleensonic™ WRS can also be used to remove silicones, finishing compounds, soils and greases. PELCO Kleensonic™ WRS is compatible with parts or products made from silicon, glass, iron, aluminum zinc, copper, brass and magnesium. Highly recommended to use ultrasonic agitation to enhance cleaning process and to reduce cleaning time. Sold in container of 1 lb. (makes 2.67 gallons).
Usage: 6 oz. (170grams) of powder concentrate in water makes 1 gallon (3.8ltr) of ultrasonic wax stripper solution, best working temperature 50 - 70°C.
