Cleaning in a workshop is a very important aspect, since we are not only referring to the cleaning of the space itself, which makes working in a more comfortable and efficient way, but we are also referring to all those phases of vehicle repair. Therefore, today in our blog, we want to talk to you about how to use a degreaser in the workshop to achieve a positive and clean result.
To do this, we will talk about some of the actions that would be very interesting to use.
DEGREASER BEFORE PAINTING
Before painting a piece, it is very important to use the degreaser to degrease and clean the entire surface to be used. If you sand directly without having done so, dirt can become embedded in the piece, causing adhesion problems in the future, or even causing blisters.
We therefore recommend that you remove all traces of material and dust before painting, in order to obtain a suitable result without any problems. Even if time passes between cleaning the area and cleaning it again, you should go over this action again, in case there has been any contamination.
To find out if it is free of contaminants, we recommend that you spray a jet of water. If you see that drops form, it is a sign that it is not yet clean and therefore, you should use the degreaserThis is a very good trick to save time and some trouble in the future.
DEGREASING BEFORE A MECHANICAL REPAIR
Before starting any repair on a surface, it is essential and necessary
degrease it to achieve good adhesion to the product, and above all a good result. To do this, we recommend that you use LOCTITE SF 7063, which is a degreaser Ideal for use before any application of a sealant or adhesive. This can be used on any type of surface and has a solvent base that removes most greases and leaves no residue.
Apart from this, LOCTITE SF 7840 can also be of great help to you, which is a degreaser more concentrated, which can be diluted with water. It is used, above all, to clean engines, valves, castings, machinery and bearings. The main advantage it has is that it is able to remove lubricants, grease, oils, salts, mold, deposited soot and even tar.
DEGREASER FOR CLEANING THE WORKSHOP
As mentioned above, having a clean workshop is very important, and although it is a very basic action, sometimes we do not give it much importance. If it is dirty, it can cause accidents at work and influence the attitude of all the workers present. In addition to that, if a customer comes in and the first thing he sees is a dirty workshop, he may get a bad impression of it.
In order to keep the workshop clean, you can use the degreaser BONDERITE C-AK T7205 alkaline cleaner, which is used for all types of floors. This can be used either with a sweeping machine or manually.
