I. Industry Background: Difficulties in Cleaning Steel and Cast‑Iron Parts
Steel and cast‑iron are two dominant structural materials for automotive and related industries. A large number of components such as engine blocks, cylinder heads, gearbox housings, brake discs and steering knuckles are made of cast‑iron, while various shafts, gears and structural parts are manufactured from steel. After machining, these components carry heavy contaminants including cutting fluids, rust‑preventive oils and mixed oil with cast‑iron chips, which are harder to clean than ordinary workpieces.
Two major pain points exist for cast‑iron cleaning. First, cast‑iron surfaces are porous; oil contaminants and iron chips easily penetrate into pores, requiring powerful degreasing for thorough cleaning. Second, steel and cast‑iron are highly susceptible to rust. Without adequate protection during the interval between cleaning and assembly, workpieces will quickly develop rust, lowering product pass rate.
Meanwhile, modern cleaning lines widely adopt high‑pressure spray processes, making foam control critical. Excessive foam may overflow tanks, disturb equipment operation and even create safety risks. A qualified cleaner for steel and cast‑iron must deliver three core performances: thorough cleaning, good rust protection and low‑foaming property.
II. Product Description
CP‑600YM is a water‑based alkaline product specially developed for steel and cast‑iron workpieces. It features outstanding rust‑preventive performance and powerful cleaning capacity, suitable for spray, immersion, ultrasonic and other processes. As a process cleaner for various components in automotive‑related industries, it is free of inorganic ingredients. It fits surface‑treatment cleaning procedures for parts and metal‑processing workpieces.
