The company SurTec, located in Brazil and part of the Freudenberg Group, is engaged in the production of chemicals for industrial surface treatment. Recently, he has created a very effective alkaline degreaser for the cleaning process of aerosol cans made of aluminum. This product has been very well accepted internationally by the main manufacturers in the sector.


After the cans have been processed, a degreaser called SurTec 149 B is used to ensure total cleanliness of the can surfaces. This ensures that the varnish used on the interior adheres properly and avoids possible porosity problems. The company claims that this degreaser meets the highest quality standards on the market and is known for its reliability.


One of the main advantages of this new process is its contribution to sustainability. The use of the SurTec 149 B allows work with low concentration levels, lower temperatures and a minimum amount of solution renewal. In addition, its foam production is minimal, avoiding the need to use defoamers. All this results in a considerable decrease in the consumption of chemicals and water, in addition to extending the useful life of the process.


“Aluminum aerosol cans include a wide range of personal care, hygiene and cleaning products intended for large-scale consumption. It is therefore essential that they respond to the safety requirements of consumers, manufacturers and the reduction of environmental impact.”said the regional director of SurTec do Brasil, Rodrigo Leão Rezende.
