Degreasers | The quality of metal surface finishing begins with the perfect cleaning of the substrate. The cleaning step is for all applications an essential process prior to any further surface treatment activities. The quality of the cleaning process correlates directly with the quality of the final product. Various substrates are used for decorative or corrosion protection coatings, and every substrate has different properties, compositions and kinds of soil. Krome’s cleaning technology provides soak cleaners, liquid soak cleaners, spray and electro cleaners that provide a residue-free and wettable surface, which meets the requirements of the following process steps. | K-Soak 03 K-Soak 110 K-Soak 135 K-Soak 100 K-Soak 200 K-Soak LT 200 K-Soak D-100 K-Soak M-100 K-Soak S-10 K-Soak SP-125L | X X X X X X X X X X | O X O O X X O O O O | O X O X O X O O X O |
