Description
AEROWAX MT Wax Maskant is a highly refined plating wax with a melting point range of 168-180°F (76-82°C). It is selected when a wax with excellent flexibility and adhesion, substrate compatibility and prevention of undercutting is required. AEROWAX MT effectively masks both simple and complex geometries and is suitable for hard chrome, nickel sulfamate and other selective plating applications.
AEROWAX MT is designed to be easily removed using Vantage’s BIOACT® 280 Series, a group of water-rinsable, bio-based dewaxing solvents. Designed to operate in heated immersion equipment, this series exhibits excellent wax loading properties (up to 40%), very low volatility and are suitable replacements for trichloroethylene (TCE), methylene chloride (MeCl), caustic cleaners, petroleum-derived solvents and hot oils.
AEROWAX MT is safe for use on ferrous and non-ferrous alloys such as untreated aluminum, alodined and anodized aluminum, copper and copper alloys, titanium, magnesium and steels.
