Degreasing Chemicals
During manufacturing and storage, metal parts can become coated with protective oils, machining fluids, and other surface residues. Removing these residues prior to painting or coating directly affects the quality of the surface treatment. Inadequate cleaning can lead to adhesion issues and surface defects in subsequent processes.
At MFI Makina Kimya, we offer solutions for different metal and process requirements through alkaline, acidic, and neutral degreasing options. We evaluate product selection in conjunction with the metal type, oil characteristics, part geometry, application method, and subsequent surface treatments.
You can share your facility's operating conditions with us for options suitable for immersion, spray, manual wiping, and ultrasonic cleaning methods. Concentration, temperature, contact time, and rinsing requirements are determined based on the selected product and application.
Product and Application Options
Our Degreasing Product Groups
The right degreasing chemical aims to remove oil and contaminants without unnecessarily etching the metal surface. We evaluate our product groups based on the type of metal and subsequent process steps.
Alkaline Degreasing
These are options formulated to remove heavy oil and process residues. Operating temperature, concentration, and contact time are determined according to contamination load. Necessary rinsing steps for the subsequent process are evaluated.
Acidic Degreasing
These are evaluated in processes where controlled surface etching or rust removal is required alongside degreasing. Immersion, spray, and electrolytic application options are available for iron and steel.
Degreasing for Aluminum
We provide immersion and spray options for preparing aluminum surfaces prior to painting. Product selection is made based on the desired surface effect and the facility's operating conditions.
Neutral Degreasing
These are options designed to remove oils and related contaminants while limiting surface attack. Rinsing requirements and subsequent coating steps are evaluated in line with the product's technical parameters.
Our Application Process
We treat the degreasing process as an integral part of your production line. Starting from the metal substrate and contaminant type, we evaluate product selection, operating conditions, and subsequent surface treatments together.
Needs Analysis
Metal type, oil characteristics, part geometry, and the existing surface treatment line are evaluated.
Product and Method Selection
The alkaline, acidic, or neutral product is determined based on the application method: immersion, spray, wiping, or ultrasonic cleaning.
Determination of Operating Conditions
Concentration, temperature, contact time, and rinsing stages are addressed in accordance with the product's technical data.
Monitoring and Optimization
Surface cleanliness and bath parameters are monitored; evaluations are made based on oil loading, metal accumulation, and subsequent process requirements.
