Case Studies

The factory produces numerous motorcycle parts and components using steel and aluminum die cast. Prior to completion, workers clean each product with a high-pressure spray parts washer. The operation has perfected the process of cleaning parts in less than one minute at 60°C.

However, their previous cleaning solution created white rust that required additional treatment. The cleaning product lasted just seven days in the sump, leading to increased consumption and fluid costs.

The customer upgraded their spray washers to Master STAGES™ CLEAN 2115AL, a low-foam synthetic washing compound prized for its ability to wash and deburr even with the toughest soils. It is compatible with various metals, including aluminum and steel. CLEAN 2115AL also provides short-term corrosion protection without the need for additional solutions.

With their previous solution, the customer encountered white rust roughly 30 percent of the time. Master STAGES CLEAN 2115AL reduced staining by two-thirds, down to just 10 percent.

CLEAN 2115AL’s superior formulation lasts longer than the previous solution, increasing cleaner bath life to 15 days — more than double. As a result of the improved performance and bath sump life, the customer has cut fluid consumption and reduced cleaning supply costs by 50 percent.
