Commercial highlights
Match the detergent to your washer, parts, and acceptance criteria—then purchase it reliably.
- Tunable detergency for mineral oil, coolant, and shop soil blends
- Foam control options for pumps, nozzles, and high-agitation systems
- Rinse-friendly profiles to reduce streaking and re-deposition
- Corrosion inhibition options for ferrous parts (grade-dependent)
- Procurement-ready: packaging + documentation + lane coordination
Built for aqueous parts washers
Aqueous parts washers perform best when the detergent is matched to three variables: (1) your soils (oil, coolant, grease, carbon), (2) your washer mechanics (spray vs. immersion, filtration, agitation), and (3) your material mix (steel, cast iron, aluminum, zinc, plastics). This product family is built to deliver repeatable cleaning with practical foam control and rinseability.
Foam control
Low-foam options for recirculating spray cabinets and high-agitation systems.
Rinse-friendly
Profiles designed to reduce streaking and residue—supporting better downstream finishing.
Typical acceptance targets
Tell us which matters most and we’ll align the best grade.
- “Visually clean” with no oily feel or grime transfer
- Water-break-free surface (where required)
- Minimal flash rust on ferrous parts (grade dependent)
- Stable foam behavior during continuous operation
Applications
Typical usage patterns. Share your washer details and constraints and we’ll align the right grade and foam profile.
- Aqueous parts washer cleaning for machining oils and coolants
- Spray cabinet detergency (recirculating) with foam control
- Immersion tank cleaning for complex geometries and batches
- Maintenance degreasing for tools, fixtures, and shop hardware
- Pre-cleaning before assembly, coating, or packaging (as compatible)
Best for
Oily soils, coolant residues, general shop grime, handling contaminants.
Works with
Spray cabinets, immersion tanks, ultrasonic systems, manual wash stations.
Common add-ons
Corrosion inhibition, defoamer/low-foam package, rinse aid approach (grade dependent).
Note: For heavy carbonized deposits or baked-on soils, a stronger specialty degreaser or staged cleaning may be required. Share photos and your cycle time limits for best-fit recommendations.
Process guidance
Typical starting points. Final settings depend on soil load, washer design, agitation, and rinse requirements.
Spray cabinet (recirculating)
Low-foam options available to keep pumps/nozzles stable and reduce foam-related downtime.
- Focus: foam control + rinseability
- Best with: filtration/oil skimming
- Typical: continuous operation compatible
Immersion tank
Strong wetting for complex parts. Agitation improves performance and reduces cycle time.
- Focus: emulsification + soil suspension
- Add-on: corrosion inhibition option
- Typical: batch-friendly
Ultrasonic
Grade selection matters—foam behavior and wetting impact cavitation effectiveness.
- Focus: low-foam + wetting
- Typical: precision parts cleaning
- Control: dwell time and rinsing
Performance tips
The fastest wins usually come from bath management, not just chemistry strength.
Control oils
Skimming and filtration reduce re-deposition and extend bath life.
Keep concentration stable
Top up based on practical checks and results; sudden changes can create foam or residues.
Rinse strategically
Rinse quality affects finish; DI rinse can reduce spotting where cosmetic finish matters.
If you’re battling flash rust on steel/cast iron, tell us your dry-time and storage conditions so we can align an inhibitor option.
Typical specifications & formats
Values depend on grade and customer requirements. Confirm details on quotation.

Compatibility note
Substrate/finish dependent—share your material mix for best recommendation
Specifications may vary depending on grade, batch, origin, and packaging selection. Confirm details during quotation.
Material compatibility notes
Compatibility depends on substrate/finish and operating window. Validate on your parts before full rollout.
Steel & cast iron
Common targets for parts washers. Corrosion inhibition options available (grade dependent).
Aluminum & zinc
May require milder profiles and controlled dwell. If you have sensitive alloys, mention it in the RFQ.
Plastics & elastomers
Varies by polymer type. Provide EPDM/NBR/PTFE, etc., for targeted compatibility guidance.
Painted/coated parts
May be compatible depending on coating chemistry and age. Test prior to scale-up.
Rinse water quality
Hardness can increase spotting. DI rinse can improve cosmetic finish where required.
Downstream steps
If you coat, bond, or plate after cleaning, share requirements to align rinse/finish targets.
FAQ
Quick answers for maintenance, engineering, and procurement teams.
Will it foam in spray cabinets?
A standard alkaline detergent can foam depending on pumps/nozzles and agitation. We offer low-foam profiles to reduce foam-related issues. Share your washer model/type and operating temperature for the best match.
Can it handle coolants?
Yes—coolant residues are a common target. Performance depends on coolant chemistry and soil load, so share what you run (if known).
How do we reduce residue or streaking?
Rinse strategy matters. We can align a rinse-friendly profile and suggest rinse water quality improvements where needed.
What about flash rust on steel?
Flash rust is influenced by rinse water, dry time, and humidity. Inhibition options may help (grade dependent). Tell us your constraints.
Do you provide SDS/TDS/COA?
SDS and TDS are available on request. COA availability depends on lane and grade; we confirm during quotation.
Can we run it in ultrasonic?
Yes—grade selection matters for foam behavior and wetting. Share your ultrasonic frequency, temperature, and soils for best-fit guidance.
Request a quotation
Send a short inquiry and we’ll respond with a procurement-ready offer (grade notes, documentation availability, packaging, and lead time). If you’re replacing an existing detergent, include what you want to improve: cleaning speed, foam, residue, rinse performance, or rust control.
