Encee Phos 3

( IMMERSION / BRUSH APPLICATION )

ENCEE PHOS 3 is a phosphoric acid solvent and detergent based cleaner, rust remover and phosphatiser. ENCEE PHOS 3 removes rust and light deposits of mill oil and destroys corrosion stimulations. It will properly condition metal surface for painting, including Zinc. The phosphate coating formed will be of Zinc-Iron phosphate type, and the coating confirms to type class "C" of IS-3618.
OPERATING DATA

IMMERSION PROCESS

For each 100 liters of the bath, add to the water with stirring the following :
    ENCEE PHOS 3     15 to 50 litres
The amount of ENCEE PHOS 3 varies in proportion to the rust and soil. Lower concentrations should be used for light rust and higher concentration for heavy rust.
CONTROL POINTS (TITRATION)
    ENCEE PHOS 3

    5 to 17 ml  

    Temperature     30 to 70ºC
    Immersion

    5 to 30 minutes  

PROCESS SEQUENCE
    Operation No. 1     Dip in ENCEE PHOS 3
    Operation No. 2     Dry
    Operation No. 3     Wipe (if necessary)
    Operation No. 4     Paint
However. if the oil or grease is too heavy, a pre-cleaning prior to use of ENCEE PHOS 3 in a alkaline or solvent / emulsion cleaner is necessary.
METHOD OF APPLICATION
Apply ENCEE PHOS 3 by sponge or steel wool or by nylon brush liberally to the surface. Allow the chemical to react. If on single application the rust is not removed, give repeat application. Allow the surface to dry and wipe with a dry cloth to remove any powdery residue before applying paint. The ENCEE PHOS 3 applied surface should not be rinsed with water.
OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The initial change and replenishment data contained herein are normal for most applications. Any variation necessary will be advised by out technical personnel, on the basis of local conditions. The bath should be operated at the lowest temperature practicable for processing the work in time. Since the strength of the ENCEE PHOS 3 bath and the operating temperature affect the cleaning time, these factors should be adjusted so that the treatment will be completed in the desired time and not more that 10 to 20 minutes.
DRYING PAINT - BONDING COATINGS
Parts coming from the ENCEE PHOS 3 should be dries in an oven or by other means which will not contaminate the metal with fumes, oil or partially burnt gases. In many cases, heavy gauge metal will retain enough heat to dry completely and rapidly without using an oven.

Products with cavities or pockets which trap moisture should be blown dry with a jet of clean, compressed air. Moisture splatters should be dried with clean cloth.

If handling of the dried, un-oiled or unpainted work is necessary, operators should wear clean cotton gloves.

EQUIPMENT DETAILS
The equipment for ENCEE PHOS 3 stage should be made up of stainless steel, milk, steel, rubber lined or any acid resistant metal.

All heated tanks should heated by steam plate and side heating (preferred for more even temperature distribution) or other heat sources capable of heating the bath to the specified temperature coils for the ENCEE PHOS 3 stage should be made of Stainless Steel or any suitable acid resistant coated hangers, and hooks should be provided to carry the work through the various stages.
