Our alkaline cleaner is designed for multi-metal substrates, primarily cold rolled steel, hot rolled steel, aluminum, and galvanized metal. The alkaline cleaner will remove oil, some greases, loose dirt, and organic soils.  However, please note that the alkaline cleaner does not remove weld smut, rust, inorganic soils, and laser scale. These will have to be removed by other mechanical or chemical means.

Our iron phosphate will provide an “inert” barrier between the metal surface and the powder coating to improve corrosion protection of the final coated substrate. Some of the common uses of phosphating include: corrosion protection, to promote adhesion of organic coatings, improve wear resistance, enhance formability and reduce die wear.
