Making The Difference

How We Can Help

We provide advanced solvent and caustic replacement chemistries and mechanical cleaning machines to global automotive OEMs.Here are three examples of how our technology can support your operations:

Substrate Washing

Our range of powerful water-based cleaning chemistries replace traditional caustic and solvent cleaning agents commonly used during surface preparation. This reduces risk and drives efficiency.

Oxidization Prevention

By forming an invisible, undetectable oxygen barrier, our solutions protect vulnerable substrates from oxidation while ensuring full compatibility with downstream surface treatments.

Surface Finish

Our water-borne chemistries are engineered to deliver precise surface control — some formulations promote the passivation of metals to enhance corrosion resistance, while others protect against surface dulling to maintain critical appearance and performance standards.

A sustainable alternative for manufacturers
