53G708 - Alustar 200 Heavy-Duty Aluminum Cleaner & Degreaser 208L

Industrial Strength Degreasing for the Welding Shop

For fabrication shops working with aluminum, cleanliness is paramount. The Walter Alustar 200™ (208 L) offers a robust solution for removing stubborn cutting oils, grease, lubricants, and shop grime from aluminum parts before welding or finishing. Preparing aluminum requires a delicate balance; you need a cleaner strong enough to strip contaminants but safe enough not to damage the oxide layer or pit the surface. Alustar 200™ delivers exactly that, ensuring your parts come out of the washer spotless and ready for the next stage of production.

This cleaner is incredibly versatile and fits seamlessly into various shop workflows. It is formulated for use in automated and semi-automated hot parts washers, cleaning tunnels, ultrasonic baths, turntable washers, spray cabinets, and agitated tanks. Whether you are cleaning engine components, machined parts, or structural aluminum, this fluid penetrates grime effectively. It also includes corrosion inhibitors that leave a temporary protective barrier on the metal, preventing flash rusting during drying or short-term storage.

Safety and environmental responsibility are key components of the Alustar 200™ design. The formula is biodegradable, VOC-free, phosphate-free, and silicate-free, creating a safer working environment for shop personnel compared to solvent-based cleaners. The 208-liter drum size is ideal for busy workshops with continuous cleaning needs, minimizing downtime associated with frequent reordering. With its ability to clean effectively at lower temperatures and high dilution rates, it helps welding and fabrication shops maintain high standards of cleanliness while controlling operational costs.
