Soap Wash
Soapwash Services by Shree Kamakshi Industries
Soapwash, or alkaline cleaning, is a fundamental chemical cleaning process. Components are immersed or treated with a heated, aqueous solution containing specialized industrial-grade detergents, soaps, and alkaline chemicals. This solution effectively solubilizes and emulsifies large amounts of oil, grease, shop lubricants, and accumulated dirt from the surface of metal parts. It serves as the primary degreasing stage, removing the bulk of organic contamination left over from manufacturing processes like stamping, machining, or grinding.
Key Benefits
Effective Bulk Degreasing: It is highly effective at dissolving heavy layers of cutting oils, drawing compounds, and protective greases, which lighter cleaning methods struggle to remove.
Contamination Reduction: By removing the majority of organic contaminants, it protects the subsequent cleaning baths (like Ultrasonic and Etching) from premature fouling, maintaining their efficiency and purity.
Foundation for Precision: It creates a reliable surface foundation, ensuring that the final, microscopic cleaning steps can be fully effective. Without it, oils can be driven deeper into the metal surface.
Cost-Effective Cleaning: It is an efficient and economical way to handle high volumes of dirty components before specialized finishing.
Applications
Pre-treatment for all Plating: Essential first step for components receiving Nickel, Bright/Dull Tin, or Zinc Plating.
Machined and Stamped Parts: Cleaning parts covered in heavy machining fluids, coolants, and stamping oils.
General Fabrication: Degreasing parts prior to any further processing, welding, or assembly.
Before Etching/Ultrasonic: It is often the required preceding step before more intensive cleaning methods can be utilized effectively.
