Product Description
The correct surface preparation prior to plating is of the utmost importance.
Slight traces of grease or oil, even finger prints, can completely ruin a good plating job. Yet most commercial systems use harsh alkaline cleaner that are tough to handle and extremely caustic, causing fumes and quickly burning skin etc. They can also cause catastrophic corrosion of aluminum when it is immersed for even a few seconds.
SP Cleaner/Degreaser is biodegradable and USDA/FSIS approved for use in cleaning around food processing equipment. Not harmful to plants, aluminum etc. and can be disposed of in sewer systems. No DOT regulations apply to shipments.
SP can be used for the removal of grease, oil and dirt etc. by simply heating the liquid to at least 110 deg F, and immersing the parts for 3- 10 minutes.
SP Cleaner is included in most plating kits. 2 lb of powder is dissolved in 4 gallons of distilled water.

Satisfied with product and shipping, communication could improve
I've ordered a number of products for anodizing aluminum. Products have arrived quickly, and worked as advertised - except a bottle of Olive Drab dye, which made my part Black. A replacement bottle was sent, but was no different. Received no response to first replacement request. After second request was told they thought it had been shipped, and would do so right away. Prior to ordering any products, general questions about products went unanswered. Overall impression is that products are good (except Olive Drab anodizing dye) and shipped in a timely fashion, but communication with customers could improve.

More "Must Have"
Without the SP Cleaner/Degreaser the labor would be just too time consuming. This item helps eliminate the cleaning time and hassle.

Awesome!
This Degreaser works great when heated up a little! Thanks again for another great product!

Hard to beat!
I tried using Simple Green as some have suggested but it doesn't do the job as well as SP does. I am doing very small scale production plating and I found the best way to use this stuff is in a large crockpot set on "high." The crock pot heats it to 190 degrees which is the perfect temperature. A 5 minute soak, quick rinse in distilled water and into the plating tank it goes for faultless results.

Concentrated and effective
I have used this at half the recommended concentration with great results on fairly clean parts. Full strength for freshly machined parts impregnated with cutting fluids worked great!
