PRE-TREATMENT, SURFACE PREPARATION, DEGREASING & CLEANING Wipe On

For many years companies have ben encouraged to come away from the culture of hand wipe degreasing particularly with harsh solvents and install degreasing plant.

However, over recent years with the demise of 111 Trichloroethane with its Ozone depletion and more recently the demise of Trichloroethylene companies have reverted to hand wiping. This has been further emphasized by the increase in energy prices whereby companies have been reluctant to turn on their degreasing tanks for small batch runs.

At B C Metal Finishing we have been aware of these circumstances and acted on in accordingly, so much so that we have a full range of Panel Wipes and wipe on solvents to meet all requirements. Gone are the days when rags are soaked in highly flammable solvents.

Considerable success has been achieved with the pretreatment wipes which are Desol PW 710 for steel, zinc and aluminium which can also replace T Wash and Desol PW 704 which is a dedicated wipe for Aluminium which considerably increases the adhesion and salt spray resistance when followed by an organic coating.

During the height of Covid and even now Desol PW 711 can be used to deactivate the virus and replace highly flammable solvents.

For those who prefer the pleasant citrus aroma Desol PW 716 will meet this requirement.

The panel wipes are supplied in tubs containing four hundred lint free wipes.

From experience we have found that the wipes are not to every bodies liking and for several reasons prefer to stay with wipes on solvents. For this purpose we have a range of solvent based products to meet a wide range of applications.

The star of the show is no doubt Metsol PT 526 which is a quick drying odourless solvent with extremely low vapour pressure with no ozone depleting potential. This product can be used by swab, spray on dip application.

Once again there is Metsol PT 524 for those who prefer the present citrus odour.

The degreasing solvent can be supplied in 25 and 205 litre containers.
