Aquasolv Spray Wash Cleaner-VCI
(Aqua 10VCI) from Mykal is helping
a large Midlands-based engineering
company improve cleaning levels and
overcome corrosion problems arising
between the manufacture and assembly
of cast iron engine components.

The components are machined and
then cleaned in a hot aqueous spray
system, prior to being dispatched.

Because the components are
shipped dry with limited corrosion
protection, rusting had occurred in
the past. This resulted in parts being
returned for reworking which was
both expensive and detrimental to
customer relations.

Factory trials were run with Spray
Wash Cleaner-VCI (Aqua 10VCI) at
a concentration of 5%, the results of
which proved a high level of cleanliness
and three times the level of
corrosion protection offered by an
existing product, allowing storage of
components for up to six weeks.
