Technical Information
Setting Up Your Chemistry
Note: Verify that your part is compatible with the chemistry in an ultrasonic cleaning application before using it.
MC Gun Cleaner is a Concentrated, heavy-duty degreaser designed to properly cavitate when used with ultrasonics. The operating temperature is 120°- 140°F. This cleaner is safe on all ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including Aluminum. It is safe on plastic polymers, biodegradable, and has excellent rinsability.
As mentioned above, the MC Gun Cleaner is a concentrate and needs to be diluted with water. Below is a guide on how to determine the amount of cleaner to add to have your solution at 5% (Can be used up to 10% for heavy-duty soil removal).
First, you need to determine the volume of your tank. To determine the total gallonage of the tank, use the formula below:
- Length x Width x Fill Height = Solution Volume (Gallons)
- (L x W x FH = V)
Once the volume has been determined, simply multiply that number by 0.05. This will give you the total amount of cleaner you should add to your tank.
- Volume x (.05) = Cleaner Volume (Gallons)
- (V x (.05) = CV)
Best practice to prepare the solution is to fill the tank half or slightly more than half full of water, add your desired amount of cleaner, then proceed to fill with water until you reach your working fill height. MC Gun Cleaner, being a water-based solution, blends into the water quickly and easily with no need for aggressive stirring. A couple passes or a couple up and down agitations with the basket is all that is needed to have the cleaner fully blended into the solution.
Once the cleaner is up to the desired temperature, allow the ultrasonics to run for 15 – 20 minutes to release air bubbles or what we call “De-gas” the solution. Trapped or suspended air bubbles will dampen or partially block ultrasonic wave patterns.
**If at any point in this process or throughout the use of the cleaner, you have any questions, do not hesitate to call us at (716)763-4114. We will be happy to help!**
Cleaning Your Firearm
- After calculating the chemistry and degassing the solution, disassemble your firearm and place parts in the basket
- Place the basket in ultrasonic cleaning zone to remove soils and set a timer for 10 minutes
- Next, move the cleaned parts to the rinse zone to remove excess soils, which utilizes ultrasonics to increase performance and set a timer for 2 minutes
- Next, move the rinsed parts to the oil tank to prevent rusting, which also utilizes ultrasonics to drive the oil through the firearm parts and set a timer for 2 minutes
- Depending on the level of soil on the firearm additional cleaning may be necessary. Repeat cleaning if needed.
