Improving Cleaning Process Throughput
We are spraying and wiping down parts with thinner and acetone, and want to move to some kind of cleaning tank and/or phosphate solution. Can you recommend a system?
Read MoreChlorinated Solvent Acid Acceptance
How can we manage and control stabilization of alkalinity reserves and acid acceptance level of perchloroethylene in metal cleaning applications?
Read MoreElectrocleaning
Why do we have problems with cleaning in low-current areas on our barrel alkaline zinc plater?
Read MoreUltrasonic Rust Removal
What ultrasonic frequency is best for removing corrosion on stainless steel?
Read MoreIncoming Rust Inhibitors
We have a five-stage wash system using an alkaline cleaning package. Should the rust inhibitors coming in on our parts be water-soluble?

Who or what government department handles Mil Spec approval?
Read MoreLint-Free Cloths
We have problems getting a clean surface to clear-coat bronze door skins. We wipe down the surface with lacquer thinner using microfiber cloths but get very small lint, fibers and specks in the finish. Do you have any suggestions?
Read MorePassivation Concentration
I am reviewing my passivation process with nitric acid per ASTM 967 using nitric 2 (6.1.1.2), and am not sure how to mix or check the solution. I also want to be sure I am neutralizing correctly.
Read MoreMechanical Cleaning Effectiveness
We are coating nuts and fasteners with nickel alloys for corrosion resistance. We currently do mechanical cleaning before electrochemical cleaning but would like to eliminate this mechanical cleaning, as the system is not efficient. Could you give us information on a new process?
Read MoreTape Test for Cleaning Efficiency
I want to learn about test methods to check efficiency of degreasing. Do you know anything about a Ford Scotch Tape test?
Read MoreParts Handling Optimization
We are interested in cleaning and coating equipment that will eliminate part-to-part contact. I am not sure if this means racking systems or one-piece flow. Do you have any suggestion for where we might look for equipment to meet our needs?
