Aquus CL-One concentrated all-purpose cleaner –

Water based cleaning and protection of metal surfaces prior to powder coating or painting

Aquus CL-One is an excellent allpurpose cleaning solution for the cleaning and protection of mild steel and ferrous metal parts which need powder coating or painting immediately or when it is necessary to store unpainted for limited periods . Any cleaning system can be used hand wiping , dip tanks , ultrasonics or pressure washing .
Uncleaned metal components or fabrications before cleaning are protected by process oils and grease on the metal guarding the surfaces from changes in humidity . Once removed using conventional water-based cleaners flash rusting can occur very quickly during drying .
The unique Aquus CL-One formulation however leaves an invisible barrier on the metal surfaces , after the cleaning process , providing extended corrosion protection
during storage , fabrication , or assembly before finishing . The barrier film can be powder coated or painted over without additional rinsing and without affecting adhesion of the coatings .
General purpose cleaning

Aquus CL-One offers exceptional emulsionbreaking capability in addition to its unusual combination of properties that makes it so attractive for a wide range of industrial applications . In addition to the general cleaner Aquus CL-One , other concentrated cleaners within the range are formulated to offer cleaning solutions for industry specific applications .
One cleaner for all applications
One cleaner for all applications reduces costs by removing the need for multiple cleaning products usually needed to deal with a wide range of soils or contaminants . Safe for the environment and users , containing no solvents is biodegradable within 30 days . Typical with only one product for all cleaning applications incorrect selection or dangerous uses can be avoided .
