Product catalog summary
Description
Castrol Kleen 3601 is a mild alkaline cleaner designed for ambient temperature spray wash applications. It offers in-process corrosion protection for ferrous metals and includes a copper corrosion inhibitor for copper alloys.
Advantages
  • Provides superior in-process corrosion protection, eliminating the need for rust stripping operations.
  • Facilitates easy oil skimming and extends bath life.
  • Operates at low temperatures, saving energy and reducing costs.
Characteristics
  • Appearance: Clear, pale yellow fluid
  • pH of Concentrate: 12.0 – 12.5
  • pH of Solution @ 3%: 10.5 - 11.0
  • Specific Gravity @ 60°F (16°C): 1.065 - 1.085
  • Bulk Density: 9.0 lbs/gal
  • Nitrites: None
  • Phosphates: Yes
  • Silicates: None
User Advice
Kleen 3601 is safe for use on ferrous metals and copper alloys. For compatibility questions, consult a Castrol Sales Engineer.
Recommended Applications & Dilutions
For spray applications, use a 3 - 5% concentration at ambient to 150°F (66°C).
Soils Removed
Kleen 3601 effectively removes dyes, inks, emulsions, flux residues, honing oils, light viscosity cutting oils, oily-film rust preventives, swarf, dust, dirt, and synthetic cutting and grinding fluids.
Additional Information
Concentration Control
  • By titration: Use 50 ml of Kleen 3601 solution and titrate with 1.0 N sulfuric acid to a pH of 4.6. Calculate concentration by multiplying the volume of acid used by 2.75.
  • With Hach kit: Add 1 vial of solution and 1 pillow of indicator to a mixing bottle. Count drops of 1.0 N sulfuric acid needed to change color from green to pink.

By titration: 1. Place (pipet) 50 ml sample of Kleen 3601 solution into a flask or beaker. 2. Titrate 1.0 N sulfuric acid from a buret until reaching 4.6 on the pH meter. 3. The concentration of the Kleen 3601 solution in % (v/v) can be calculated by multiplying the volume of 1.0 N sulfuric acid in ml by 2.75. With Hach kit: Add 1 vial of Kleen 3601 solution and 1 pillow of indicator to mixing bottle. Count the drops of 1.0 N sulfuric acid required to change the color of the solution from green to pink.
