Degreasing & Rust Protection

During the manufacturing process, metal components must undergo several cleaning stages before final treatment. Degreasing and rust protection are essential steps to ensure that parts remain free from contamination and protected against corrosion during production, storage, and transport. 

The first step in effective corrosion control is industrial degreasing. Oils, metalworking fluids, and machining residues must be removed from components to ensure that protective coatings or rust prevention treatments adhere correctly. High-performance industrial degreasers eliminate contaminants and prepare surfaces for the next stage of treatment. 

After cleaning, rust protection solutions create a protective barrier that shields metal surfaces from humidity, oxygen, and corrosive environments.  

In some cases, temporary protection products also provide a dewatering effect. These formulations are designed to displace residual water from the surface of machined parts while simultaneously applying a protective film. This dual action enables efficient drying and immediate corrosion protection, particularly after exposure to water-based metalworking fluids (soluble fluids). 

MotulTech offers a complete range of products to support every stage of the process from degreasing and cleaning to rust protection for metal components.
