Typical aluminum cleaners rely on boron to help reduce the potential for aluminum etching during the automotive cleaning process. Henkel's BONDERITE C-AK 14415 eliminates the use of boron, while continuing to provide high cleaning power and a low etching effect.
The technology meets stringent European environmental regulations, while delivering on a full spectrum of automotive OEM performance requirements. As an additional environmental advantage, the cleaner reduces scrap that would otherwise be generated by the use of a high-alkaline cleaner.
BONDERITE C-AK 14415 is suited for aluminum automotive components, such as aluminum wheels and aluminum battery housings for Battery Electric Vehicles. As a 1-component solution, the technology improves safety and handling during the manufacturing process.
