AQUEOUS CLEANERS
Petroferm offers high-performance, aqueous cleaning products designed for use in spray, immersion and ultrasonic
applications. These products offer the lowest environmental, health and safety impact while providing the flexibility
of adjusting concentrations and temperatures. These products do not contain nonylphenol or alkylphenol ethoxylates
(NPE/APEs), phosphates and have low to zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They have been formulated to replace
caustic solutions and cleaners with high silicate levels.
