AP 988 is a product from the MagChem range.

For more information regarding the danger of the product, please consult the product safety data sheet according to local regulation.For industrial use only.

AP 988 is used as a 15-20% volume solution in water at a temperature of 80°-85°C (175-185°F). Parts should be degreased and cleaned prior to immersion. AP-988 is normally used as the acidic scale conditioner in the cleaning process for turbine engine components.Typicaly the sequence would be:1) HDL 202 or HDP-2888 (alkaline deruster)2) AP 988 (acidic descaler)3) HDP 2524 (alkaline permanganate)4) HDL 202 or HDP 2888 (alkaline deruster)5) Corrotek (in-process rust protection)Average immersion times vary from 15 to 30 minutes.Concentration can be maintained by standard titration procedures, in accordance with the method supplied by MagChem Inc.
