Liquid metal part cleaners designed for use on variety of process lines

Two liquid cleaners developed by Birchwood Technologies can be used on a variety of process lines, including blackening, phosphating, and electroplating lines. Safe Scrub M and Safe Scrub® ST cleaners remove oil and surface soils from metal parts before or after processing.

The biodegradable cleaners are used to emulsify oil from aluminum, brass, copper, iron, and steel parts and then hold residues in the solution to prevent them from redepositing on the parts. Both cleaners remove mineral oil, grinding coolant, drawing/stamping lubes, and hydraulic oils, as well as water-soluble/synthetic fluids.

The M version is a noncaustic, mildly alkaline cleaner for use on aluminum, brass, and copper components. Its mild formula cleans without oxidizing or discoloring the substrate. The ST version is a heavy-duty liquid cleaner for use on iron and steel components. It has high oil-holding capacity and stability at high temperatures for super-heavy-duty applications.
