Heavy Duty Cleaning Compounds
Cleaning compounds are used in mass finishing processes to work along with the media to provide superior cleaning and pretreatment. Therefore, compounds for cleaning should be compatible with the mass finishing equipment and media for an efficient application.
Our solutions are available in the following packaging sizes:
- 5-gallon pails
- 55-gallon drums
- 300-gallon totes
MC 250

1. Water based cleaner.
2. Non-Silicated
3. Buffered pH
4. Multi-metal safe.
5. Excellent rinsability
MC 301
A heavy-duty degreaser for use in vibratory, centrifugal, and soak wash systems. It is safe for use on most ferrous metals.
Usage:
This product is diluted with water before usage. Determine the proper ratio based on the volume of the tank.
- For light to medium-duty soil removal, mix MC 301 at 1% to 2% with water.
- For heavy-duty soil removal, mix MC 301 at 3% to 5% with water.
Operating temperatures are 110° to 160° F.
Advantages:
1. Water based cleaner.
2. Biodegradable.
3. Useful over a wide range of applications and operating conditions.
4. In-process corrosion protection.
5. Excellent rinsability

How To Choose Mass Finishing Cleaning Compounds?
A successful mass finishing process must begin with an effective cleaning compound to remove excess soils on the part. Therefore, the cleaning step is crucial to the deburring, descaling, and the overall surface properties that are achieved through mass finishing.
An effective cleaning compound should:
- Be compatible with the substrate (Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel, etc.)
- Compatible with the equipment (Centrifugal, Vibratory)
- Effectively clean soils off the part (Oil, Grease, Cutting Fluids)
- Contain corrosion inhibitor built in to protect part in subsequent steps
- Compatible with the media used
