Which ultrasonic cleaning fluid to use?
For removal of Polishing compounds, soluble oil and light pollutions with Ultrasonic Cleaning
GALVEX SU 737 is a mild alkaline solution that is suitable for cleaning metals such as steel, silver, brass, titanium, and zamak. This solution is an excellent emulsifier and solubilizer of greasy substances. It leaves a temporary film that protects the surface from oxidation and provides a hydrophobic surface that facilitates drying.
GALVEX 20.01 is designed for use on stainless steel, titanium, copper alloys, aluminium, precious metals, and silver. It is suitable for the medical sector and can be used as a finishing product. It leaves a hydrophilic surface that can be used in surface preparation prior to passivation.
GALVEX 20.02 can be used on all metals except carbides. It is a mild alkaline solution that contains no harmful components. It has high efficiency on brushed, satin, and stippled parts with complex geometry. It increases wettability and is easily rinsed off. It can also be used as a finishing product.
RODACLEAN 2018 is a strong alkaline solution designed for use on titanium, ceramics, steels, and stainless steels. It contains no harmful components and is suitable for the medical sector. It can be used in surface preparation prior to passivation.
VACUKLEEN 2018 is a strong alkaline solution designed for use on titanium, ceramics, steel/stainless steel, carbides, and hard metals. It is an excellent solution for preparing surfaces prior to vacuum metallization (P.V.D). It does not attack cobalt and has excellent wetting properties. It can also favourably substitute solvents.
For removal of Polishing compounds, soluble oil, light pollutions with Ultrasonic Cleaning
DECOSPRAY TM, is a mild alkaline solution suitable for cleaning all metals except carbides and synthetic materials. It is a non-foaming product and can be used in spray or ultrasonic cleaning. However, it requires an oil separator for proper disposal.
VACUKLEEN 440, is a strong alkaline solution used for cleaning titanium, steels, stainless steels, carbides, precious metals, and plastic materials. It is an effective substitute for solvents and can be used in pre-degreasing. It is also suitable for surface preparation before P.V.D. treatment. However, it requires an oil separator for proper disposal and does not attack cobalt.
DECOCLEAN 440, is a strong alkaline solution that is suitable for cleaning steel, stainless steels, and ceramics. It can also be used for pre-degreasing and is a non-foaming product. However, it requires an oil separator for proper disposal.
For removal of Anticorrosion additive
KORROSTOP 5000 is a biodegradable, alkaline anticorrosion additive used in the final rinsing bath with demineralised water. This additive provides excellent corrosion protection and is environmentally friendly. Its biodegradability makes it safe for disposal, reducing environmental pollution.
KORROSTOP 5000 is typically used as an additive in the final rinsing bath after the cleaning and pretreatment processes. It is effective in preventing the formation of rust and other forms of corrosion on metal surfaces. The product can be used with all types of metals, making it a versatile solution for various industries.
For removal of Deoxidation, brightening effect
RODASTEL 30 is an acidic, deoxidation, and brightening additive suitable for all metals. It is primarily used for the neutralisation and activation of surfaces before the P.V.D. (Physical Vapour Deposition) process. The acidic nature of RODASTEL 30 makes it an excellent solution for removing oxide layers on metal surfaces.
RODASTEL 30 is primarily used for the neutralisation and activation of surfaces before the P.V.D. process. The deoxidation and brightening effects of this additive help to improve the adhesion of coatings and reduce the risk of defects, such as blisters or peeling. It is also effective in removing oxide layers from metal surfaces, ensuring proper activation before the P.V.D. process.
For removal of Setters cement, wax, glue
ALLSTRIP is a solvent-based additive suitable for use with all metals, including galvanised metal. It is a versatile solution for the removal of setters cement, wax, and glue from metal surfaces. This product does not contain NEP (Nonylphenol Ethoxylate), making it an excellent alternative to acetone. It is safe to use in ultrasonic cleaning or vacuum systems.
ALLSTRIP is primarily used for the removal of setters cement, wax, and glue from metal surfaces. Its solvent-based nature makes it effective in dissolving these substances, making it easy to remove them from metal surfaces. The product's lack of NEP makes it an excellent alternative to acetone, which is a highly flammable substance. It is safe to use in ultrasonic cleaning or vacuum systems, making it a versatile solution for various industries.
