Using pretreatment chemicals is essential for ensuring the performance and longevity of painted metal surfaces.
Pretreatment Chemicals for Painting and Powder Coating
Pretreatment chemicals are essential for removing organic and inorganic contaminants such as oils, greases, rust, and metal fines. They deposit a conversion coating that enhances the adhesion and durability of the topcoat, leading to increased productivity and reduced operating costs.

Types of Pretreatment Chemicals
Alkaline Cleaners
Chemicals that effectively remove organic soils, including oils, greases, coolants, and other metalworking fluids.
Acid Cleaners
Chemicals that are used to remove inorganic soils, including rust, weld smut, metal fines, dust, and more.
Conversion Coatings
Acid-based chemicals that create a coating on metal surfaces, improving the adhesion of liquid and powder paints while offering extra corrosion protection.
Rust Preventatives
Products that prevent rust and corrosion by forming a protective barrier against moisture and oxygen.
Sealers
Functions as a short term rust inhibitor and/or paint adhesion promoter.
Descalers
Chemicals designed to remove scale buildup on metal surfaces, including production parts and wash tanks.
Our concentrated chemistries excel in various manufacturing environments, including recirculating, spray wand, and immersion applications.
