SteelCleaner PRO
Energy Efficient, Eco Friendly Steel Degreasing Pickling Process for Zinc Galvanization
Welcome to SteelCleaner PRO
The World's First Environmentally Safe Detergent Additive for HCl Degrease / Pickling Baths used in Zinc Galvanization
Steel Cleaner PRO (SC PRO), a NexChem Inc. product, is a detergent additive solution for use in zinc galvanization or other metal coating processes that radically cuts production costs by removing required heating inputs and by combining degrease and pickling tanks into a single chemical process at ambient temperature resulting in increased throughput of galvanized steel in hot dip or electrolytic systems.
The product is a patent pending product with global implications in a multi billion dollar galvanization industry. With over 1000 galvanization plants worldwide producing 13 million tons of galvanized steel via traditional heated multi-staged tank process, SC PRO is a radical chemical simplification of a traditional and heavy industry process that eliminates the need of using heated baths (cost and environment reduction) and accelerates product output at a time when industrial production costs soar due to raising fuel and raw material costs. The product easily integrates into existing production lines at 1% solution, is completely biodegradable, requires minimal supervision or training, and improves the quality and evenness of final zinc coatings while decreasing wastage of precious zinc.
Introduction to Zinc Galvanization
Zinc Galvanization is the process of coating iron or steel with a thin layer of zinc involving multiple preparation process and steps.
Benefits of Zinc Galvanization:
Cost effective corrosion performance superior to all other processes.
Currently Used in Following:
Major infrastructure, large modern structures, major appliances, automobile industries, etc
The Current Problem in Zinc Galvanization
Existing Zinc Galvanization requires multi-tiered degrease and pickle* tanks to prepare steel for galvanization. Existing Zinc process requires heat and multi-tiered acid solutions to degrease and pickle steel prior to actual molten galvanization. (PIckling = * Pickling = Process of removing soil, dirt, oxidation from raw steel)
Process Comparison
SC PRO simplifies zinc galvanization processes while lowering cost and production output through a unique chemical process.
