Designed to remove oil, grease, soft carbon and combustion sludge.

It must not be agitated or heated. It is a two-phase product and if only a portion of the can is to be decanted, it should be shaken very well to mix the phases together before decanting immediately. Should be used in a metal tank preferably with a wire mesh basket in which to place the items to be cleaned. The articles to be cleaned should be pre-cleaned if possible of any excess oil or grease to reduce the amount of dirt entering the tank. This pre-cleaning will lengthen the bath�s life. The tank should be kept in a cool area to avoid excessive evaporation. A lid on the tank will also help. Where evaporation causes a reduction of the seal the regular addition of water to replace or maintain the seal is essential. The seal should be maintained at a depth sufficient to avoid evaporation of the lower phase.Remember that only the lower phase will do the cleaning. Disassemble all parts and remove any gaskets, rubber or other non-metal parts. Remove or drain off any excess oil or dirt. Lower the parts into COLD SOAK and ensure they are below the seal level and that no air is trapped inside.The parts should be in a basket or tied to a piece of wire to allow for easy removal from the tank when clean.Immersion time is 15 to 40 minutes or longer depending on the type and amount of soil to be removed. Once the parts are clean remove them allowing as much as possible of the COLDSOAK to drain back into the tank. Rinse the parts off under a stream of water preferably under pressure. For mild steel or iron parts a coating of light oil or diesel is recommended to avoid flash rust as the parts, once cleaned, will be completely without protection. Where the situation allows, it can be economical to operate a two-tank system. The first tank acts as a pre-cleaner and thus prevents the second tank from becoming excessively dirty too soon. When the second tank has done its work and is no longer cleaning fast enough, dump the first tank and the second tank now becomes the pre-cleaner with the other being refilled with fresh COLD SOAK. COLD SOAK is generally used for removing carbon, crankcase sludge, and lacquer and blow-by solids from engine parts. It is also extremely effective in stripping general paint finishes from conveyor hooks, paint screens and paint rejects. A special application is the cleaning of steel moulds used to mould rubber parts.
