ALC 50 Alkaline Cleaner and Conditioner

ALC 50 from Chemtool Inc. is a water-based, low-temperature alkaline cleaner and conditioner (contains biocidal additives) designed for the internal and external cleaning of metalworking fluid sumps and systems. It is designed and formulated for the removal of organic and inorganic contaminants and irritating odors from sumps, barges, lines and water treatment systems. ALC 50 is used to flush and clean metalworking machine sumps and system components prior to recharging with fresh coolant or as an additive to control odors.
