Pre-treatment cleaning
Removing residues and contamination before the next process step. What happens downstream sets the standard.
Surface treatment
Surface treatment starts with a clean surface. Residues have to come off before coating, plating or bonding, without causing problems further down the line.
Removing residues and contamination before the next process step. What happens downstream sets the standard.
Water-based paints, solvent-based coatings, two-pack systems and cured coatings can behave very differently. The cleaning approach should reflect the formulation, degree of cure, contact time and surface compatibility.
A site may be looking at handling classifications, consumption, air emissions, waste arrangements, equipment compatibility, cost or procurement complexity. Each is a separate question and requires its own evidence.
