Pre-Treatment Cleaners

The pre-treatment  step of any finishing process is both critical and defining of the quality of the work done by the finisher. Having the right pre-treatment cleaners in your process will ensure quality in the completed product.

There are several areas to consider as you look to improve or enhance this step in your process:

• Soak cleaner systems with higher performance characteristics.
• Solvent degreasing alternatives.
• Electrocleaners with higher performance characteristics.
• Pre-treatment processes using aluminum.
• Cleaners for the removal of buffing compound.

Each of these areas has its own unique characteristics.

A new generation of soak cleaners are safer, more effective and environmentally friendly.  Cleaning has been elevated to a science rather than an afterthought.

Regulations have changed how degreasing can be accomplished, making the use of solvents both undesirable and expensive.  New biodegradable, environmentally friendly aqueous cleaners can be used as a spray, in immersion or as an ultrasonic treatment.

Electrocleaners have also changed significantly.  Again, regulation has driven these products toward more environmentally friendly and safer content and use.

Pre-treatment has also been enhanced and improved with the introduction of aluminum-based cleaning and deoxidizing components. They are now safer and faster working.

Buffing compounds have, again, been impacted by regulation.  A new generation of products now simplify and are cleaner than previous processes.
