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
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.

Amazing
We make a lot of parts out of copper and up till now we had been using a commercial tarnish remover to clean the final product. We bought some SP cleaner to see if we could eliminate that step. While the SP cleaner will not remove tarnish it will clean the copper to a very, very nice shine and even after letting it sit in the open air (no protective coating or anti tarnish wrap) it is still bright two weeks later. Simple to use, just add to distilled water, heat with an immersion heater to 170ish F and dunk the parts for a few minutes. Rinse in distilled water and wow. Super bright and clean parts, passes the water break test easily. About to try nickel plating.. wish me luck.
