Cleaning is an important step within the production of metal parts. Effective cleaning ensures parts attain the correct surface finish before further processes like coating, adhesion or plating are undertaken. For many companies, tried and tested cleaning processes are already in place, however with new regulations on the horizon, they may require some changes.
More and more governments and regulatory agencies are requiring greener chemistries and manufacturing processes. For some fabricators this means their well-established cleaning methods are no-longer suitable. They must seek out new alternate cleaning solutions to ensure they continue to clean effectively, but also meet emerging regulatory requirements, both now and into the future.
