Need for Leveling Agents

It is admitted for many paints that a perfect appearance means also a perfect leveling. Poor leveling (like orange peel or ghosting) may not influence significantly the paint parameters in time, as it is more aesthetic orientated. But the leveling agent itself may cause some severe issues.

WHAT IS A DEGREASER?

A degreaser is a cleaner designed to remove grease, oils, cutting fluids, corrosion inhibitors, handling soils, fingerprints, and other contamination common in assembly, stamping and other metal fabrication in refineries, motor repair shops, airplane hangars, and factories, etc.. Degreasers go by a number of different names including precision cleaner, maintenance cleaner, as well as several specific for automotive repair such as carb cleaner or brake cleaner.

The objective for a degreaser is to remove the offending soil quickly, avoiding as much wiping and scrubbing as possible. Degreasing solvents are commonly packaged as an aerosol for convenience. Aerosols have the added advantage of providing a forceful spray that creates agitation and which penetrate small crevices.

Water-based degreasers are common in a trigger sprayer, or in gallon or drum containers for immersion or batch system cleaning.

Specialized equipment like ultrasonic or vapor degreasers are available for more automated cleaning. These processes are repeatable, so better suited for more critical cleaning applications, like aerospace or medical appliance maintenance.

Techspray offers a large selection of degreasers and maintenance cleaners under the G3?, E-LINE?, PWR-4?, and Precision-V brands, which range from economical heavy-industry cleaners to high precision solvents for sensitive components.

WHY DO I NEED A DEGREASER?

Dust, dirt, grease, and oxidation contamination can cause corrosion, slipping hazards, overheating, increase electrical resistance in contact areas, and many other issues. Degreasing may be required to prep for down-stream processes like painting or plating.

Cleaner Degreasers can clean oil, grease, oxides and handling contamination from equipment and assemblies that include:

• Metal and fiber optic cable splices

• Motors and transformers

• Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)

• Pneumatic and hydraulic assemblies

• Electronics and electrical equipment

• Meters/measurement devices

Industrial-strength degreasers are needed to remove grease, tar, asphalt, oil, and grime in these kinds of applications:

• Clutches, armatures, generators, and compressors

• Electrical motors and equipment

• Bearings, chains, cables, pulleys and gear drives

• Brakes, springs, and flywheels
