Cleaner removes soil, rust, and heat tint/weld burn

Madison Chemical has introduced TreadBrite™ Edge Gel cleaner, which removes soil, laser scale, rust, and heat-treat scale, including heat tint/weld burn, by cleaning and brightening the surface simultaneously through an etching process.

The viscous gel, which contains a balanced blend of surfactants and acids, is designed for use on aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, and copper. It is suitable for postweld cleanup on L series stainless; for use on exposed metal edges aggravated by CO2 laser cutting; and for use on stainless steel surfaces damaged by sulfurized cutting oils and metalworking fluids.

The acidic cleaner also can be used for cleanup of severely fouled press brakes and other fabrication equipment, including removal of all Class I rouges and many Class II and Class III rouges. It is applied full strength at room temperature by pump, spray, or manual wiping or brushing.
