A metalworking fluids and services company based in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, recently developed an advanced cleaner designed to replace highly volatile solvents in precision cleaning applications where flammability, health, safety and environmental factors are concerns.
Houghton International introduced Houghto-Rinse RTD™, a water-based, non-flammable, ready-to-use cleaner that delivers process performance and surface appearance in a wide range of surface finishing applications, particularly for its industry markets of automotive, aerospace, metals, mining, machinery, offshore and beverage industries. The product is designed to remove surface residues such as spray paint, marker pen, ink, glue, grease, and production soil prior to final inspection, assembly or packaging and is safe for use on all surfaces including aluminum, steel, magnesium, plastics, painted surfaces, and fiberglass.
“Extensive field testing has demonstrated that Houghto-Rinse RTD delivers outstanding cleaning performance on a broad range of applications,” said Tony Pavesich, Houghton Surface Finishing Industry Leader. “It dries quickly, leaves no residue, and is ready-to-use, so it improves product quality and process efficiency.” The product is also economical, low-odor, and contains rust prevention properties, which may be important when used to clean steel components in critical applications.
