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-305AL is hard water-tolerant. We found no significant difference in cleaning between the bath made with tap water (200 – 250 ppm hardness) and DI water. Water with high levels of hardness can increase scale deposits throughout the system.

Product Description
Product Description
ZERUST® AxxaWash™ KMS-305AL is an ideal aluminum part cleaner for removing light to moderate-duty hydrocarbon soils and particulates on aluminum heat exchanger components. Following cleaning, you should rinse and remove AxxaWash™ KMS-305AL from the metal surface using RO, D/I, or distilled water. Moreover, apply a suitable ZERUST® rust inhibitor or preventative for maximum corrosion protection. Consequently, AxxaWash™ KMS-305AL Aluminum Part Cleaner, available as a liquid concentrate, allows for dilution according to the application. Additionally, it does not contain alkylphenol ethoxylates, boron salts, phosphates, or solvents, is non-flammable, and complies with Global Automotive Declarable Substance, TSCA, SVHC, RoHS, and REACH requirements.
