GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Paint Lok 550F is a liquid iron phosphate product especially formulated for use in three or five stage spray washers or in pressure washer systems. It contains a blend of highly effective biodegradable surfactants that will effectively remove soils, oils, and other contaminants while simultaneously depositing a high quality iron phosphate coating. Paint Lok 550F contains an ingredient that keeps sludge and scale buildup off the inside and outside of the risers and washer interior. This enables you to operate over an extended period of time without purging or descaling your washer. The nozzles stay cleaner longer and require less attention than with most conventional iron phosphate products. Additionally, Paint Lok 550F contains a source of fluoride which is important when processing aluminum for painting.
