Precision cleaning is used to thoroughly clean components of contaminants - for instance, any oils that have resulted from previous manufacturing processes.
Precision cleaning uses a range of chemicals, solvents and detergents to clean oils, fingerprints, rust and scale/deposits from components. Materials that commonly undergo industrial precision cleaning include stainless steel, brass, copper, zinc and aluminium; however, most materials can be precision cleaned using applicable cleaning agents.
Precision cleaning is a specialist process and can be an unnecessary expense if the application does not call for it. Therefore, it is almost exclusively used within safety-centric industries such as aerospace, marine, medical/scientific and automotive, as the introduction of contaminants could inhibit the component's functionality.
