For optimum performance and best practice, it is always recommended to use deionized (DI) or reverse osmosis (RO) water. This will also ensure that the bath life is improved when used. However, if DI or RO water is unavailable, AxxaWash™ KMS-220 is hard water-compatible. We found no significant difference in cleaning between the bath made with tap water (200 – 250 ppm hardness) and DI water.

Product Description
Product Description
ZERUST® AxxaWash™ KMS-220 is an ideal part cleaner fluid for removing light-duty hydrocarbon soils and particulates on ferrous substrates. Following cleaning, you may rinse and remove AxxaWash™ KMS-220 from the metal surface using RO, D/I, or distilled water or left on the metal surface as a dry-in-place part cleaner and flash-rust inhibitor. Alternatively, AxxaWash™ KMS-220 part cleaner contains a mild flash-rust corrosion inhibitor and is, therefore, particularly effective for cleaning and preparing metal surfaces for a long-term rust preventative, such as ZERUST® Axxanol™ or Axxatec™ product lines. Consequently, AxxaWash™ KMS-220, available as a liquid concentrate, allows for dilution according to the application. Additionally, AxxaWash™ KMS-220 does not contain alkylphenol ethoxylates, boron salts, phosphates, silicates, or solvents, is non-flammable, and complies with Global Automotive Declarable Substance, TSCA, and RoHS requirements. Furthermore, speak with your ZERUST®/EXCOR® sales representative to obtain your operator guide.
