Castrol Techniclean CPL
VISCOSITY - Metalwork Degreaser & Cleaning Solution
Castrol Techniclean CPL Micro-Emulsion Process Cleaner
Castrol Techniclean™ CPL (previously called Flexiclean™ CPL) is an innovative, versatile, semi-synthetic cleaning fluid.
Unlike common emulsion cleaning fluids that are susceptible to bacteria and instability, Techniclean CPL maintains a stable emulsion to prolong bath life and ensure long-term performance.
Techniclean™ CPL effectively removes soils such as emulsions, synthetic metalworking fluids, light and medium viscosity metalworking oils, swarf, dust and dirt, oily- and thin-film rust preventives, hydraulic and lubricating oils, and flux residues.
It is suitable for use in cleaning equipment such as spray and flood wash. Techniclean™ CPL is multi-metal compatible it is safe to use on ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.
This product leaves a light oily film that provides in-process corrosion protection and lubrication for subsequent operations.

User Advice:
- Make up an emulsion by adding the Techniclean CPL to agitated water (preferably heated).
- Check concentration, pH and bath level regularly, especially if used hot.
- To reduce the risk of stability and corrosion issues caused by increasing contamination of water hardness and corrosive salts (e.g. chloride) it is recommended to fill up evaporation losses with deionised water.
- The protective film must be completely dried before packaging.
- Please consult your Castrol Account Manager for further questions regarding metal compatibility.
