Nerta ATC-200 – Aluminium Cleaner & Multi-Purpose Acid Detergent

Restore oxidized metal surfaces, brighten weathered alloy rims, and dissolve heavy environmental deposits with Nerta ATC-200 Aluminium Cleaner. Formulated with a specialized blend of ammonium bifluoride and high-grade organic acids, this powerful, colorless acid detergent is engineered for demanding industrial, transport, and automotive cleaning tasks. Nerta ATC-200 delivers outstanding brightening results on raw aluminium parts, alloy wheels, fuel tanks, tanker trailers, and vehicle fittings, while rapidly eliminating stubborn surface rust, severe lime scale, and embedded brake iron deposits across South Africa.

Ultra-Concentrated 1:9 Dilution Formula (High Yield Economy)

Nerta ATC-200 is designed to deliver maximum cost-efficiency without compromising cleaning power. A dilution ratio of just 10% ATC-200 mixed with 90% water (1:9 ratio) produces incredible cleaning performance—quickly lifting dull oxidation and traffic film from metal surfaces. Because a little product goes an extremely long way, workshops and fleet managers achieve lower cost-per-wash results while renewing weathered fleet vehicles to showroom brightness.

Heavy-Duty Rust, Scale & Iron Deposit Removal

Beyond aluminium restoration, ATC-200 serves as a versatile multi-surface acid wash. Its active acidic matrix chemical bond penetrates deep into stubborn iron contamination, industrial fallout, rust stains, and heavy water scale buildup on diesel tanks, transport chassis, and machinery metalwork.

Available Size Options

To support commercial vehicle detailers, transport fleets, and industrial washing bays, Nerta ATC-200 is available in two heavy-duty bulk drum sizes:

  • 5 Litre Drum: Ideal for automotive detailing shops, commercial wash bays, and small fleet maintenance.

  • 20 Litre Bulk Drum: Essential for large transport depots, tanker fleet operators, and industrial cleaning operations.

Key Performance Features

  • Advanced Acid Detergent Formula: Powered by ammonium bifluoride and organic acids for rapid chemical restoration.

  • Aluminium & Alloy Renewal: Brightens dull, oxidized aluminium fuel tanks, rims, fittings, and tanker trailers.

  • Rust & Fallout Removal: Effectively dissolves surface rust, iron brake dust, lime scale, and hard mineral buildup.

  • High-Yield 10% Dilution Ratio: Highly concentrated—mix 1 part ATC-200 with 9 parts water for optimal results.

  • Multi-Surface Versatility: Safe for a wide variety of metal surfaces, rims, and vehicle fittings when used as directed.

  • Bulk Packaging Sizes: Supplied in convenient 5L and 20L heavy-duty drums.

Frequently Asked Questions ▼
FAQs - Nerta ATC-200 Aluminium Cleaner & Acid Detergent 1. Q - Can I use Nerta ATC-200 on coated or polished aluminium wheels? A - Nerta ATC-200 is formulated for raw aluminium and standard alloy surfaces. For mirror-polished, anodized, or custom-coated wheels, test on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure surface compatibility. 2. Q - What dilution strength should I use for general rim cleaning? A - A 10% solution (100ml ATC-200 to 900ml water) is recommended for general aluminium brightening, rust removal, and heavy rim cleaning. 3. Q - Does Nerta ATC-200 remove embedded brake dust? A - Yes. The ammonium bifluoride and organic acid formula breaks down iron particles and baked-on brake dust far more effectively than standard alkaline wheel cleaners.
