Metal finishing Q&As since 1989

Powder coating

Are there chemicals that can be used to clean both steel and Aluminium parts in the same tank before powder coating. We have a nine stage dip cleaning process.

There are many types of cleaners that are formulated to clean both steel and aluminum in the same operation. The cleaner contains components that will protect the aluminum from being attacked.
