Brulin AquaVantage 3843 GD Detergent for immersion and ultrasonic cleaning in 55 Gallon and 5 Gallon Containers

AquaVantage® 3843 GD

APE/NPE/VOC-Free Aqueous Detergent

AquaVantage® 3843 GD is a non-phosphated, aqueous-based solution, research-developed to remove straight oils — particularly higher weight/viscosity blends that are difficult to remove.

Typically used in immersion, highly turbulated, or ultrasonic cleaning processes, AquaVantage® 3843 GD is also low-foaming in spray wash applications. It’s a mildly alkaline solution which cavitates in ultrasonics with unparalleled performance providing a water-break-free surface. Safe on virtually all metals.

  • RoHS Compliant
  • Formulation extends bath life
  • In-process corrosion control
  • Transmits ultrasonic cavitation at all temperatures
  • Low foaming at temperatures greater than 120˚F (49˚C)
  • Free rinsing permits improved adhesion
  • Separates oil effectively for improved oil removal
