The cleaning phase is one of the most important parts of the processes.

Alkaline cleaning process is the process of removing impurities like mineral oil, grease, cutting fluids (coolants), powder and many more contaminants with immersion of the parts in a water based alkaline solution or by spraying the solution on the metal part.

This process is also the surface preparation step for the next steps.

Alkaline cleaners are based on mixing substances with different alkalinity with surfactants.These water-based solutions remove most of the residual dirt with heat. At the same time, this method stands out in terms of cost effectiveness and efficiency.

When choosing a cleaner, it is important to consider which metal to be applied to avoid damage to the material surface. This becomes especially important with soft metals such as aluminum and its alloys.

As Medichem, we offer a variety of products according to different pollution levels and materials.

MC8010: Mild alkaline cleaner for simple, easy-to-clean oils and water-soluble coolants that can be applied at medium temperatures

MC8050: Aggressive alkaline cleaner that can be applied at high temperatures for difficult oils and different compounds used

MC8080: Alkaline cleaner for soft, easily corroded metals such as aluminum

It should not be forgotten that an important part of the cleaning process is the rinsing phase. As the part leaves the cleaning phase, it carries used cleaner and other contaminants. If not rinsed straight away, these contaminants can accumulate on the part again and make removal difficult.
