Product Description

BONDERITE® C-IC 4409 AERO is a liquid acid cleaner and deoxidizer formulated for cleaning and deoxidizing ferrous and nonferrous alloys by immersion, spray, or hand wipe application. The phosphoric acid-based formulation readily rinses with water or steam, imparts a satin finish on aluminum alloys, provides an excellent base for paint adhesion, and effectively removes rust from ferrous alloys. It is intended for use on a wide range of metals, but should not be used on magnesium alloys or high-strength steels. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
