Product Info

Choosing the wrong type of cleaner can affect product quality, worker safety, or even the efficiency of your machinery. Let's explore key criteria for selecting the right cleaning solution for each task — along with practical guidance for choosing products that truly suit your factory.

1. Understand the Type of Contamination Before Choosing a Cleaner
Selecting the appropriate cleaner starts with analyzing "what kind of contaminant needs to be removed?"
Main types of contamination include:
- Oil / grease stains — e.g., from brakes, machinery, or factory floors
- Fine dust — such as from grinding or cutting processes
- Chemical or resin residues — left from specialized manufacturing
- Moist or rust-associated residues
The cleaner used must be able to dissolve or dislodge these contaminants without damaging the substrate surface.

2. Choose Based on the Surface Type of the Workpiece
The surface material has a major impact on cleaner selection:
- Metal (steel, aluminum): Requires a non-corrosive solution that won’t cause rust
- Plastic or rubber: Must avoid chemicals that cause swelling or brittleness
- Painted or coated surfaces: Should avoid harsh solvents that could strip coatings

3. Match with Your Factory’s Cleaning Method
Each factory uses different cleaning processes, such as:
- Soaking / dipping: Requires low-evaporation, worker-safe cleaners
- Spray application (aerosol): Best with fast-drying formulas that leave no residue
- Wiping with cloth / brushing: Should break down contamination quickly without needing rinse water

4. Safety and Environmental Considerations
Industrial cleaners should be:
- Safe for users: Free from high VOCs and harsh odors
- Environmentally friendly: Water-based or biodegradable formulas
- Compliant with industry standards: Such as RoHS, REACH, or specific automotive regulations
