Deoxidizer 44 is an acidic liquid, non-chromated, water-soluble product for deoxidizing/ de-smutting wrought aluminum alloys and cast alloys with low silicon content (less than 1%). Deoxidizer 44 will remove and iron impurities in the surface of the alloy. This product also inhibits the reformation of the natural oxide film on the aluminum surface between operations
Deoxidizer 44 may be used in rack, barrel lines or spray operations prior to spot welding, conversion coating, bright dipping, anodizing or plating.
