Acidic degreaser

Acidic degreaser is for degreasing aluminum sheets or parts. It contains strong cleaning agents that can remove contaminants from the surface of the part and prepare it for the next operation. Their function is that the acid breaks the chemical bonds between the fat and the surface, making the fat easily washed off with water. It can work at ambient temperature and its efficiency increases if heated. This type of degreasing not only degreases the metal, but also removes rust and deposits.

Acidic degreaser properties

1- High cleaning power: Due to the presence of acids such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, it has the ability to dissolve and remove stubborn and stubborn grease on the metal.

2- Surface activation: Its acidic action activates the metal surface, meaning that we create tiny pores on the surface that help the phosphate coating adhere better. This stronger adhesion leads to higher durability and quality of the final coating.

3- Surface preparation for phosphating: By removing contaminants, the acid degreaser provides a completely clean surface ready to accept the phosphating solution. This results in a more uniform and higher quality phosphate coating.

4- Pungent odor: Most acid degreasers have a pungent odor. Proper ventilation is essential when working with them.

5- Corrosiveness: This is a dual characteristic. While the corrosive power of acids is effective in cleaning, the same property can damage vulnerable surfaces such as certain metals and some coatings. Therefore, choosing the right acid degreaser for the desired surface is very important.

Application

-We use this type of degreaser in various industries, such as the food industry, metallurgy, and automotive, to clean machinery, equipment, and various surfaces.

Overall, acid degreasing is an essential step in the phosphating process that significantly improves the quality and durability of the coating. Without proper degreasing, the phosphate coating will not adhere effectively to the metal and will lose its protective function.
