BONDERITE C-AK 4338LP1
Harmonization Code : 3208.20.90 | Paints and varnishes that are dispersed or dissolved in a non aqueous medium
Main features
- Two-Part Alkaline-Permanganate System Component
- Jet-Engine Heat-Scale Conditioning
- Liquid-Concentrate Bath Make-Up
Product Description
BONDERITE® C-AK 4338L AERO (Part 1) is the Part 1 component of a two-component alkaline permanganate scale remover and conditioner developed specifically for jet engine cleaning. Used together with BONDERITE® C-AK 4338L AERO Part 2, it chemically modifies high-temperature oxide scale on ferrous and heat-resistant alloys to condition deposits for efficient removal during subsequent chemical processing. The liquid concentrate is supplied for safer handling than powdered products and is suitable for both bath make-up and bath maintenance.
Key Features
- Part of a two-component conditioning system for high-temperature oxide scale removal.
- Developed for jet engine cleaning and metal pretreatment operations.
- Suitable for ferrous and heat-resistant alloys under controlled process conditions.
- Liquid concentrate for safer handling and easier bath preparation than powdered alternatives.
- Long bath life with supplier-stated REACH compliance.
Applications / Suitable for
- Jet engine cleaning
- High-temperature oxide scale conditioning
- Ferrous alloys
- Heat-resistant alloys
- Metal pretreatment processes
- Immersion processing as part of the BONDERITE® C-AK 4338L AERO system

Specific Gravity
Not Published
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume.
For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.
