  • Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
  • Wear protective gloves, eye protection.

1️⃣ Dilute Metasoak FL according to cleaning requirements:

Light Cleaning: dilute at 1:100 with clean water
Heavy Duty Degreasing: increase concentration up to 1:25

2️⃣ Apply the aluminium cleaner to the surface using a spray bottle, cloth, brush, dip tank, or ultrasonic bath - depending on your setup.

3️⃣ Allow 2–5 minutes contact time to break down grease, oils, and carbon residues. Agitate the surface with a brush or pad for heavily soiled areas.

4️⃣ Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all residue and reveal a clean, degreased surface.

⚠️ Avoid allowing the product to dry on surfaces.

How do you use Metasoak FL metal degreaser?

Metasoak FL can be diluted and applied by spraying, brushing, soaking, or immersion depending on the cleaning task. It works effectively in ultrasonic cleaning baths and dip tanks for deep cleaning of mechanical parts. After the grease and carbon deposits have been loosened, the components should be rinsed with clean water to remove residues.

What metals can Metasoak FL be used on?

Metasoak FL is designed for use on sensitive metals including aluminium, brass, copper, and steel. Its non-caustic formula allows heavy degreasing without damaging delicate metal surfaces. This makes it ideal for cleaning alloy components and precision parts used in engineering, automotive, and manufacturing applications.

Where is Metasoak FL commonly used?

Metasoak FL is widely used in engineering workshops, automotive repair facilities, aerospace maintenance, and manufacturing environments. Maintenance teams use it to clean engine components, brake parts, tools, and mechanical assemblies. It is particularly useful when preparing metal parts for inspection, coating, welding, or reassembly.

Is Metasoak FL suitable for ultrasonic cleaning systems?

Yes. Metasoak FL is formulated with low-foaming properties that make it suitable for ultrasonic cleaning baths. The cleaner penetrates small crevices, threads, and complex parts when used with ultrasonic vibration. This allows maintenance teams to remove oils, grease, and carbon contamination from precision components efficiently.

What is the best cleaner for aluminium parts?

Aluminium components require cleaners that remove grease and carbon without damaging the metal. Metasoak FL is a professional aluminium cleaner designed for this purpose. Its non-caustic formula safely breaks down oils, grime, and carbon deposits while protecting sensitive metals such as aluminium, brass, copper, and steel, making it ideal for workshops and industrial maintenance environments.

How do you remove oil from metal components?

Oil and grease on metal parts are usually removed using a specialised industrial degreaser. Metasoak FL penetrates built-up oils and workshop grime so they can be easily rinsed or wiped away. It is widely used in engineering workshops and maintenance departments to clean components before repair, inspection, or reassembly.

How do professionals clean aluminium engine parts?

Professionals often use non-caustic metal degreasers designed specifically for aluminium components. Metasoak FL can be applied using ultrasonic baths, dip tanks, or manual cleaning to dissolve grease, carbon deposits, and machining oils. This approach restores components while preventing corrosion or surface damage that harsher chemicals may cause.

What removes carbon deposits from metal parts?

Carbon deposits on metal components are best removed using a high-penetration degreasing cleaner. Metasoak FL is formulated to break down carbon residues, oils, and workshop contamination quickly. It is commonly used for cleaning engine components, brake parts, and precision engineering parts where thorough but safe cleaning is essential.
