Specialty Cleaning and Surface Preparation Products

Specialty cleaning and surface preparation products are specialty or proprietary products and accessories related to cleaning and surface preparation equipment. Specialty cleaning and surface preparation products are used to clean and prepare surfaces for additional processing, such as smoothing rough surfaces for the application of special veneers or washing surfaces to remove particles left behind from machining or other manufacturing processes.

Specialty cleaning and surface preparation products include chemical products such as cleaners and solvents for physical processes such as ultrasonic cleaning, sanding and grinding, and buffing and polishing. Specialty cleaning and surface preparation products for industrial applications including industrial cleaning products able to strip coatings from products during the finishing process, or degrease parts that have been machined using lubricants. An industrial cleaner is an industrial cleaning product that can include a solvent either in a liquid or vapor form to strip paint or other coatings from components. Specialty cleaning and surface preparation products also include special detergents to remove dirt, rust, or scale. To find the best product or process for cleaning a specialty product, such as parts or components made of unique alloys or composites, companies may do a cleaning product comparison. Some materials must be cleaned with the proper solvents, detergents, and physical processes to meet quality assurance criteria.

Specialty cleaning and surface preparation products include processes that are designed to remove contaminants from the surfaces of specialty components. Sanding and grinding machines are used to smooth rough surfaces, and may involve several passes or stages of refinement. Buffing and polishing machines use a belt to smooth out the surface of metal products, removing scratches and other marks from the tooling process. Ultrasonic cleaning involves immersing the part or component to be cleaned into a special cleaning solution. The immersion tank is vibrated using ultrasonic frequencies to loosen particles adhering to the surface.
