MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Neutral cleaners are used both for inter-stage and final cleaning of metal surfaces. PETROFER´s neutral cleaners are excellent demulsifiers, formulated to enable easy separation of the oils removed during cleaning.

A 185 – THE UNIVERSAL ONE 
salt-free, demulsifying neutral cleaner, suitable for cleaning operations on cast iron and steel in mechanical production and heat treatment processes. 

A 285 – THE HOT ONE 
salt-free, demulsifying neutral cleaner, provided with good thermal surfactant stability. 

N 402 K – THE COOL ONE 
demulsifying neutral cleaner, foam-free in use from room temperature, stable over long periods. 

N 404 – THE BOOSTER 
demulsifying neutral cleaner, for use in high pressure applications for many metals. 

N 502 – THE ACOUSTIC ONE 
salt-containing neutral cleaner, suitable for ultrasonic assisted cleaning. 

N 600 – THE DE-BURRER 
suitable for pressures up to 1200 bar, surfactant-free and functional over a wide temperature range, stable for long periods. 

N 610 – THE DEMULSIFIER 
suitable for pressures up to 1200 bar, surfactant-free and functional over a wide temperature range, stable for long periods and with excellent strong demulsifying properties. 

N-SF  – THE HARDENER 
suitable for cleaning operations prior to heat treatment, with temporary corrosion protection.

Alkaline cleaners are used when high cleanliness of the metal surface is essential – For example, in preparation for galvanizing or painting. Highly alkaline cleaners are recommended for use in multiple-zone units as they help prevent salt residues from drying onto work pieces.

A 118
Strong cleaner containing salt, especially suited for removing lapping compounds and flux. 

A 122
Very strong cleaner containing salt, ideal for removing pigments and insulating pastes. 

A 15
De-phosphating cleaner with exceptional performance.

PETROFER offers a range of cold cleaners based on hydrocarbons as alternatives to halogen-hydrocarbon-based products. These fluids are odourless and contain no chlorine, fluorine or aromatic compounds. Hydrocarbon cleaners are only suitable for degreasing operations. The flammability and flash point of these products should be taken into consideration when specifying them.

L 888
De-greasing agent for removal of low viscosity oils. Very narrow boiling range for fast residue-free evaporation. 

L 261
For removal of low/medium viscosity oils. Rapidly evaporating product with good flash point/drying ratio. Also available in dispersive variant. 

L 383
For removal of viscous oils and fats. Non VOC High flash point product. 

L 118
For removal of viscous oils and fats. Non VOC High flash point product. 

LE 643 K
Solvent-based emulsifying cold cleaner for removing caked-on residues. Can be washed off with water after brief soaking.

In addition to our standard product range, PETROFER offers a number of special cleaners. These can be available either separately or as part of a customised cleaning system for an entire production process. Feroclean N-SF, for instance, is designed to work with our quenching oils. Also many of our alkaline and neutral cleaners are available in cold application variants.
