OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Aluminum Cleaning Solution

The Protex Alclean is a professional-grade chemical cleaner formulated specifically for the treatment of aluminum surfaces. Available in a 1-gallon (3.8L) jug, this product is a staple for industrial maintenance, fabrication shops, and automotive restoration. As an acidic cleaner, Alclean is designed to chemically attack and dissolve the tough oxide layer that naturally forms on aluminum, as well as strip away grease, oil, road film, and diesel smoke residues.

For industrial users, this product serves as a critical maintenance fluid. It restores the appearance of weathered aluminum on transport trucks, storage tanks, and architectural elements. The formula is fast-acting; upon application, it begins to foam and lift contaminants from the pores of the metal. Because it contains hazardous acidic components, it is classified as a HAZMAT item and requires proper handling and safety protocols, including the use of acid-resistant PPE.

Josef Gas supplies Protex Alclean to ensure your facility has the necessary chemicals for high-standard metal preparation. Whether you are cleaning a fleet of aluminum trailers or preparing raw stock for production, Alclean delivers consistent, powerful results. It leaves a clean, matte, or satin 'white' aluminum finish that is free of the dull gray oxidation associated with aging metal.
