Galvano Degreaser (Electrocleaner) – Professional Metal Cleaning for Perfect Plating Results
The Essential First Step for High-Quality Coatings
The Galvano Degreaser (Electrocleaner) is a powerful cleaning solution designed for the thorough removal of oils, grease, and contaminants from metal surfaces.
It provides the critical foundation for electroplating processes such as gold plating, nickel plating, silver plating, or chrome plating – because only perfectly clean surfaces ensure strong adhesion and flawless finishes.
Why Degreasing is Crucial
Even microscopic residues can lead to:
- poor coating adhesion
- stains, spotting, or cloudiness
- uneven plating layers
- peeling or defects
This electrocleaner ensures a chemically clean, wettable surface, perfectly prepared for further processing.
