Strippers & surface treatments for industrial maintenance

Frequently asked questions — Strippers & surface treatments

• How do you choose between a stripper and a releasing agent for industrial maintenance?

  The choice depends on the nature of the contamination to be removed and the substrate being treated. If you are working on a seized mechanical part requiring lubrication, opt for the range dedicated to releasing agents and lubricants. For specific surface treatment on metal, wood or composites, our stripping solutions are suitable. It is essential to check the compatibility of solvents with the base material and the rinsing requirements before any on-site use.
• What are the key considerations when using degreasers on installations with automatic greasing?

  When using treatment products on equipment fitted with automatic greasing systems, you must ensure that seals are not degraded. The selected product must not damage surrounding mechanical components. It is advisable to align with technical standards such as DIN 51825 or ISO 6743-9 classification to ensure the longevity of K-type lubricating greases present in your automated installation.
• Are there surface treatment solutions compatible with an environmental approach?

  Yes, MecaIndus offers products from an eco-responsible range. These solutions are designed for industrial sites seeking to reduce their environmental impact. Their formulation maintains technical performance, meeting the operating requirements of installations. The integration of these references is part of a sustainable maintenance strategy while effectively treating surfaces according to the constraints of your substrates, whether metallic, wood-based or composite.
• Does the DIN 51825 standard influence the choice of a stripper or surface treatment?

  Although the DIN 51825 standard mainly concerns K-type lubricating greases, it is an indicator of the technical rigour applied to our maintenance ranges. During your operations, it is crucial to check that the chosen surface treatment does not interfere with the properties of lubricants compliant with this standard. If your operation combines stripping and lubrication, ensure that chemical compatibility respects standards such as NLGI consistency classes to preserve the integrity of your mechanical systems.
