High Quality & Cost-Effective Cleaning Services

Contract Cleaning Services

We offer vapor degreasing, ultrasonic, alkaline, and other cleaning services that typically exceed the results that can be achieved with in-house cleaning methods and provide our clients with a one-stop-shop for finishing metal parts.

Our processes have been honed over decades of proprietary research and development and are thorough, fast and cost-effective – either as a stand-alone service or as preparation for advanced metal finishing processes like electropolishing.

Vapor Degreasing

Vapor degreasing is a very effective process for removing lubricants, oils and other oil-based contaminants left behind in the manufacturing process and for which water-based cleaners are inadequate. Using a powerful liquid solvent that is heated to produce the cleaning vapors, the process requires additional ventilation and environmental controls.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning of metal parts is performed in a tank that generates millions of microscopic bubbles per second, each containing vacuum pressure that pulls water and surface debris from hard surfaces.

Alkaline Cleaning

Alkaline cleaning utilizes specifically formulated chemical blends that include alkaline salts, wetting agents and sequestrant (chelating) agents and is an effective process for removing adhesive residue left behind by the vinyl-coating used to protect metal parts during the stamping or dyeing process.
