Pretreatment Leads to Water-break-free Plating Surfaces
Asterion provides customized soak, spray and electrocleaning process solutions designed for cost-effective and fast removal of soils and contaminants from steel, copper alloys, zinc die cast and other substrates.
Asterion provides customized soak, spray and electrocleaning process solutions designed for cost-effective and fast removal of soils and contaminants from steel, copper alloys, zinc die cast and other substrates. Featuring phosphate and phosphate-free cleaners, the non-chelated processes are said to impart water-break-free surfaces for subsequent plating.
Suited for both rack and barrel operations, the pretreatment processes offer high oil retention and ease of handling, the company says.
