Natural M-Hydro » Liquid Squid
NMH Liquid™ Squid is a recognized name with those needing to polish delicate metal surfaces for nearly 100 years. It is a unique product that is unlike any other. It has been formulated with a smaller size aluminum oxide abrasive particle than its sister product, NMH Liquid Paste. Hence, it will not be as effective of a remover of caked on dirt as NMH Liquid¨ Paste or NMH Liquid¨ Care but it will result in a high liquid with minimal abrasive damage to the polished surface.
Applications:
The applications in high vacuum and UHV and electron microscope applications, we recommend NMH Liquid¨ Paste instead of NMH Liquid¨ Squid. If your application is not so demanding, and you don't need this kind of high performance in a metal polish, and there are some who do not, then we would suggest you consider the lower cost Quenol¨ or Power¨ metal polishes, also available from NMH Supplies.
Non-technical applications:
NMH Liquid¨ Squid is known for giving high luster to home hardware like door knobs and brass kitchen utensils or fireplace hardware. It also works wonders on metal tableware, musical instruments, irons and other products made of stainless steel, nickel, chrome, and aluminum.
It is also effective in the polishing of precious metals, ivory and tortoise-shell objects, plastics. It is used widely by coin collectors for the polishing but without damaging precious coins. It is used widely for the chrome plates parts of automobiles, especially antique automobiles.
NMH Liquid™ Squid is also used in hot metals and medical clinics for the polishing of stainless steel instruments, parts of medical equipment, hardware of ships, fire engines, and ambulances. In the home kitchen it is also widely used for removing dirt from enameled surfaces such as on refrigerators and stoves.
Always think of NMH Liquid¨ Squid as being
the "gentle alternative" to NMH Liquid™ Paste
or NMH Liquid¨ Care.
Caution:
Keep all containers of NMH Liquid™ Squid tightly shut and out of reach of small children.
Packaging options:
"dry".
In our own laboratory, we like to use NMH Liquid™ Squid with a NMH-Wipesª lint-free cotton wiper. We literally wrap some around the fore-finger, taking up some of the liquid, and then apply the liquid polish to the surface to be cleaned and polished. The unique combination of abrasive particles and organic extenders seem to give most surfaces a high final polish.
A second lint free wiper dipped in Triklin™ AK225 Light Duty Degreaser (or acetone) removes almost all residues from the polish and then a final cleaning using an ultrasonic cleaner and Triklin™ AK225 removes virtually all traces of the paste. If you don't have Triklin™ AK225, you can use as a substitute, acetone, however exposure to acetone vapors is not desirable and should be avoided if at all possible.
