| CONCENTRATION CONTROL | --------------------------- | SHELF LIFE | --------------------------------------------------

The concentration control of Tectyl Heat Aqua No.1 Under normal conditions the recommended shelf life for
solutions is based on their kinematic Viscosity. Tectyl Heat Aqua No.1 is six (6) months.

| CLEANING | --------------------------------------------------

Due to the inverse solubility of Tectyl Heat Aqua No.1,


parts quenched in Tectyl Heat Aqua No.1 solutions will
have a polymer film covering them. This polymer film is
easily removed by rinsing the quenched part in plain cold
water.
Parts that have been tempered before cleaning may
require longer cleaning cycles to remove the dried-on
polymer film.

| STORAGE | ---------------------------------------------------

Heat Aqua No.1 is unaffected by freezing and thawing.


If stored outside at cold (below freezing) temperatures,
bring to room temperature and roll the drum to insure
that all materials are properly mixed before using.
Avoid contact with strong oxidizers.
