| With over 30 years experience in the product finishing industry, Akrotec Ltd, UK, specialises in the supply of chemical cleaning, de-greasing and corrosion protection as well as prevention products. The company's range of products is manufactured according to ISO 9000/2 certification, using where possible, environmentally friendly raw materials. The company supplies its products to the aerospace and automotive industry, as well as numerous other areas such as ceramics, plastics, food/brewing, materials cleaned (such as wire, tube and strip in carbon steel, stainless steel, copper alloys, aluminium, zinc and mixed metal components). They also can be employed in applications such as ultrasonic cleaning, spray/rotary booth and emersion equipment.
Akrotec Ltd has recently introduced a new cleaning solution based on enzymes and specialised proteins. Most traditional cleaners based on detergents, alkalis and solvents, emulsify or solubulise some, but not all of the soil residues, but do not break the amino/fatty acid bonds holding the soil to the metal. The specificity aspects of enzyme cleaning are the ability to breakdown and degrade the properties of the soil contaminant without damaging or degradation of the material to be cleaned. In addition, Akrotec offers advice on the effective methods of cleaning fluid maintenance and filtration to help customers to optimise performance and to minimise disposal and down-time costs.
