BONDERITE C-IC 2310
Harmonization Code : 3208.20.90 | Paints and varnishes that are dispersed or dissolved in a non aqueous medium
Main features
- Chromium-Free Aluminum Deoxidizing Cleaner
- No-Heat Immersion/Spray Cleaning
- MIL-W-6858C Deoxidizing Compliance
Product Description
BONDERITE® C-IC 2310 is a chromium-free concentrated acidic cleaner formulated for deoxidizing and desmutting wrought aluminum alloys. It effectively removes surface oxides, heat-treatment discoloration, thermal deburring residue, and smut generated during alkaline etching and chemical milling. The process produces a stain-free aluminum surface prior to anodizing, chemical milling, penetrant inspection, and resistance welding, while operating efficiently without heating and performing well in both immersion and spray systems. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Key Features
- Chromium-free acidic formulation for deoxidizing and desmutting wrought aluminum alloys.
- Removes oxides, heat-treatment discoloration, and alkaline etch smut while producing a stain-free surface.
- Requires no heating and rinses freely after treatment.
- Suitable for immersion and agitated spray systems due to its non-foaming formulation.
- Meets MIL-W-6858C Paragraph 4.2 deoxidizing requirements and numerous aerospace specifications.
Applications / Suitable for
- Wrought aluminum alloys
- Deoxidizing after alkaline etching
- Desmutting after chemical milling
- Anodizing pretreatment
- Chemical milling pretreatment
- Penetrant dye inspection pretreatment
- Spot and resistance welding pretreatment
