About Cleaning Agents and Surface Treatments
Cleaning agents and surface treatments are specialized chemicals, solutions, and additives used to clean and prepare surfaces. They are available in a variety of forms, including aerosols, gels, liquids, powders, and tablets. Many cleaning agents and surface treatments consist of aqueous solvents, terpene, oil, and special compounds such as waxes. Volumetric rate, dilution rate, or weight addition determine both the relative strength and amount required. Cleaning agents and surface treatments are applied with immersion or soak methods, spray processes, pressure washers, ultrasonic cleaners, clean-in-place (CIP, C-I-P) methods, and manual or hand scrub techniques. Over time, biodegradable cleaning agents and surface treatments decompose into non-toxic components. Semiconductor, optics, pharmaceutical, medical or biotech applications often require critical or residue free materials.
