Chem-Crest 55 is phosphoric acid based cleaner. The product is designed for removing oils, greases, lubricants and oxides. It is capable of producing hydrophilic surfaces upon rinsing with water. It is used typically for the brightening of soft metals as well as the removal of greases, oxides, and particulates, but finds uses in many different applications.

Chem-Crest 55 is effective at removal of light oxides from the surface of soft metal and stainless steel parts, as well as oils, tinctures, greases, and lubricants. Chem-Crest 55 will brighten dull appearances and leave no residue upon proper rinsing. It is recommended that an ultrasonic rinse follow applications using Chem-Crest 55.

Chem-Crest 55 is used at typical dilution of 4 – 10 % by volume. Concentration may vary based on the type of the organic film. Typical operating temperature is in the range of 50°C - 65°C.
