The system is low-foaming, environmentally responsible, and optimized for immersion and ultrasonic applications.
What inspires us
Why we developed UniClean A103 | B101¨C103
Your challenge
Aluminum is lightweight, versatile, and essential in modern manufacturing ? but its reactive surface and oxide layer demand extreme care during pretreatment. Harsh cleaners can over-etch or pit the surface, while insufficient cleaning causes downstream failures like poor adhesion or corrosion. Add to that the variability of alloy compositions and the push for greener chemistry, and aluminum cleaning becomes one of the most critical ? and complex ? steps in metal finishing.
Our solution
The mildly alkaline, two-component cleaner, UniClean A103/B101¨C103, offers effective cleaning without damaging the substrate. It ensures adhesion success, meets sustainability goals, and brings flexibility through modular formulation. By combining robust performance with low environmental impact, it sets a new standard for aluminum surface preparation ? reliable, responsible, and ready for what¡¯s next.
