The alkaline cleaning mechanism promotes the dissolution, emulsification and separation of oily contaminants from metal surfaces. Depending on the application and formulation, the product can be used in spraying, immersion or suitable industrial washing systems. Concentration, temperature, contact time and mechanical action are the key process parameters determining cleaning performance. After treatment, the surface should be properly rinsed and transferred to the subsequent surface preparation stage under controlled conditions. The type of metal should also be considered when selecting the product; material compatibility should be evaluated separately, particularly for surfaces such as aluminum that are more sensitive to alkaline chemicals.

The product can be used as an intermediate or complementary treatment in metal surface preparation, cleaning and pre-coating processes. During application, concentration, pH, contact time, bath temperature and the chemical load carried over from the previous treatment stage should be controlled together. Sequestering ions and balancing surface conditions help provide a more controlled surface transition to the subsequent processing stage. The product’s application parameters should be determined in accordance with the relevant technical documentation, taking into account the specific process and type of metal being treated.

The product can be used particularly for the surface preparation of steel and suitable metal parts prior to painting, powder coating or similar coating processes. During application, product concentration, process temperature, contact time, the amount of oil and rust present on the surface, and the type of metal should be considered together. Proper rinsing and drying after treatment are important for controlling chemical residues on the surface and maintaining the stability of the subsequent coating process.

The product can be used for reworking incorrectly painted parts on production lines, cleaning hangers and fixtures, refurbishing maintenance parts and preparing metal surfaces for recoating. Processing time varies depending on the type of paint, coating thickness, metal type, bath temperature and chemical composition of the product. After treatment, stripped paint residues should be removed, the surface properly rinsed and prepared for the subsequent surface treatment process. Tank material, ventilation, personal protective equipment and chemical compatibility should be determined in accordance with the relevant technical documentation.

The product can be used for the maintenance of machinery and equipment, refurbishment of metal structures, reworking of incorrectly painted parts and preparation of surfaces for new coating applications. Application performance depends on the type of paint, coating thickness, surface material, amount of product applied and contact time. Material compatibility should be checked in advance, particularly on aluminum, galvanized surfaces, plastics and sensitive coated surfaces. After treatment, stripped paint residues should be removed and the surface properly cleaned and prepared for the subsequent process.

Before application, oil, process residues, moisture and existing corrosion products should be removed from the mold surface using appropriate methods. Uniform application of the protective layer is important with regard to mold geometry, storage conditions and the intended protection period. The one-year protection period should be evaluated together with actual storage conditions and the application requirements specified in the product’s technical documentation. Whether the protective film needs to be removed before the mold is returned to production should be determined according to the subsequent process and product requirements.

The product can be used for the temporary or medium-term protection of machined metal parts, machine components, spare parts, molds and metal equipment intended for storage. Before application, oil, dirt, moisture and corrosion residues should be properly removed from the surface. The uniformity and thickness of the protective film, storage environment and surface preparation directly affect protection performance. The one-year protection period should be evaluated together with the application and storage conditions specified in the product’s technical documentation. The wax layer may need to be removed before subsequent painting, coating or assembly processes.

Depending on the process design, application can be carried out by immersion, spraying or suitable surface treatment systems. Product concentration, pH, contact time, metal type, surface cleanliness and drying conditions are key parameters affecting process performance. It is important that the protective effect does not adversely affect the adhesion of the subsequent paint or coating system. Therefore, product selection and application conditions should be determined by considering compatibility with the coating system to be applied and the manufacturer’s technical documentation.

The product can be used in metalworking, surface preparation and coating processes where intermediate holding of parts for up to approximately one week is required. Application concentration, bath pH, metal type, chemistry of the previous treatment, holding time and environmental conditions should be controlled together. The one-week holding period should not be considered a fixed performance value, but should be evaluated together with the process and environmental conditions specified in the product’s technical documentation. Any rinsing or additional preparation required before the subsequent surface treatment should also be determined according to the relevant process conditions.

During use, product concentration, bath pH, metal type, surface cleanliness, chemicals carried over from the previous treatment and environmental conditions should be evaluated together. The three-week holding period should not be regarded as a fixed value applicable under all conditions, but should be considered within the process conditions specified in the product’s technical documentation. After the holding period, any requirements for rinsing, recleaning or surface activation should be determined according to the subsequent surface treatment process.
