BONDERITE® C-NE 5088 (previously known as P3 Neutracare 5088) is designed for solvent-free precision cleaning. It has low environmental impact, minimal oil emulsification, and operates across a wide temperature range. It can replace vapor degreasing products, reducing regulatory and health concerns. This aqueous neutral cleaner is compatible with steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. BONDERITE® C-NE 5088 is ideal for cleaning and simultaneous passivation after machining, cutting, stamping, and forming processes. Henkel recommends a starting concentration range of 5 to 20 g/L for steel and nonferrous metals, and 15 to 30 g/L for cast iron.
Many traditional vapor degreasing products are restricted, banned, or phased out by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for posing risks to human health. They also often contain a high concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
