Introduction
Aluminium is one of the most widely used metals in modern manufacturing. From automotive structures and electronic housings to aerospace components and industrial machinery, its lightweight properties and corrosion resistance make it indispensable. However, aluminium surfaces are highly susceptible to contamination during production, including cutting oils, lubricants, grease, polishing compounds, and handling residues.
Using professional aluminium degreasers is essential for maintaining product quality and preparing surfaces for coating, anodising, welding, or assembly. At KESH, we develop industrial cleaning solutions that combine strong degreasing performance with careful surface protection, helping manufacturers improve production efficiency while preserving aluminium quality.
Why Aluminium Needs Special Care
Unlike many metals, aluminium naturally forms a thin oxide layer that protects it from corrosion. While this layer is beneficial, harsh cleaning chemicals can damage it, causing staining, dullness, or inconsistent surface finishes.
A well-designed aluminium degreaser should:
Remove industrial oils efficiently.
Protect the natural oxide layer.
Minimise corrosion risks.
Leave minimal residue after rinsing.
Support downstream manufacturing processes.
These characteristics make specialised formulations far more suitable than general-purpose cleaners.
Common Manufacturing Contaminants
Cutting Oil
CNC machining leaves lubricating oil on freshly processed aluminium parts.
Hydraulic Oil
Production equipment may transfer hydraulic oil onto components during manufacturing.
Assembly Grease
Mechanical assembly often introduces heavy grease around joints and moving parts.
Polishing Residue
Buffing compounds remain attached after polishing operations.
Dust and Fine Particles
Industrial environments generate fine particles that mix with oil to form stubborn residues.
