Water-based cleaning systems for effective removal of stubborn contaminants
Water-based cleaners now play a key role in the intermediate and final cleaning of parts. Available in the form of alkaline, neutral, and acidic cleaners, water-based media are usually the preferred solution for very high volumes of cleaning and/or fine and ultra-fine cleaning.
When does it make sense to invest in water-based|alkaline cleaning?
Organic and inorganic contaminants can compromise coating media adhesion when coating workpieces. The applied material cannot adequately adhere to the workpiece, leading to uneven surface results and possibly even separation of the applied layer. The workpieces have to be free of dirt and oil to ensure optimal coating adhesion, which makes investing in water-based cleaning well worthwhile.
Where do organic and inorganic contaminants come from?
Contaminants such as coolant residues and synthetic or mineral oil-based greases can adhere to metal workpieces as a result of mechanical processing. Depending on the production process, other contaminants such as dust may also collect on the surface.
