Neutral cleaners

The use of neutral cleaners plays an important role in industrial parts cleaning. Neutral cleaners are characterized by their pH-neutral formulation, which means that they are neither acidic nor alkaline. This property makes them extremely versatile and applicable for cleaning a wide variety of parts and components.

The purpose of a neutral detergent in industrial parts cleaning is to enable effective yet gentle cleaning. These detergents are often used in aqueous solutions to remove a wide range of contaminants, including grease, oil, lubricants and inorganic deposits.

The pH neutrality of the cleaner is crucial in order to minimize possible negative effects on the materials to be cleaned. This is particularly important for sensitive materials such as aluminum, plastics or coated surfaces. The neutral cleaner enables thorough cleaning without compromising structural integrity or surface coatings.

The versatility of neutral cleaners makes them a preferred cleaning agent in various industries, including metalworking, electronics manufacturing and the automotive industry. Their gentle yet efficient cleaning action helps to ensure the quality and reliability of parts and components.
