Abstract (en)

[origin: US4404039A] This invention relates to an improved process for cleaning an anodized surface of aluminum or an alloy thereof where a cleaning agent is applied to the anodized surface and then the cleaning agent is removed after a sufficient period of contact, wherein the improvement comprises applying to the anodized surface at ambient temperature a thin film of a cleaning composition comprising an acid solution consisting essentially of: (a) from about 3 to 30 percent by weight, based upon the total weight of the acid solution, of nitric acid, calculated as a 65% aqueous solution; (b) from about 0.1 to 20 percent by weight, based upon the total weight of the acid solution, of partial esters of phosphoric acid; (c) from about 0.3 to 30 percent by weight, based upon the total weight of the acid solution, of a phosphonocarboxylic acid with complexing action; (d) from about 0.5 to 30 percent by weight, based upon the total weight of the acid solution, of nonionic and/or anionic tensides; (e) from 0 to about 30 percent by weight, based upon the total weight of the acid solution, of solubilizers and/or organic solvents; and (f) from about 40 to 90 percent by weight, based upon the total weight of the acid solution, of water, said solution having a pH of less than 2, and then rinsing off the cleaning composition with water.

Abstract (de)

Die Reinigung erfolgt mit wäßrigen sauren Lösungen (pH <2) der Zusammensetzung: a) 5-20 Gew.% HNO3 (berechnet als 65% ige Lösung) b) 0,2-10 Gew.% Phosphorsäurepartialester c) 0,5-20 Gew.% komplexierend wirkende Phosphonsäure oder Phosphonocarbonsäure d) 1-20 Gew.% nichtionische und/oder anionische Tenside e) 0-30 Gew.% Lösungsvermittler und/oder organische Lösungsmittel f) 40-90 Gew.% Wasser Die Lösung wird als dünner Film aufgetragen und nach hinreichender Einwirkung mit Wasser abgespült. Vorteil: Wenig aufwendige Reinigung großflächiger Aluminiumteile, z.B. Fassadenverkleidungen ohne gravierende Veränderung der anodischen Oxidationsschicht.
