Hi,

Detergent/saponifiers have indeed the potential to tarnish aluminum. This is due to the high alkalinity of the chemistry (pH 10-12).

Things you can do to minimize the effect is:

A) Limit the exposure time of the Al with the chemistry. B) Reduce the saponifier concentration.

Also make sure you use the correct DI/saponifier temperature (usually between 140-160F) Talk to your supplier they know the product the best they will be able to give you recommendations.

Hope this helps, Patrick http://www.interfluxusa.com
