Our range includes concrete etching and cement removal solutions, surface neutralisers, fungicidal washes, galvanised iron cleaners, water-based degreasers, paint stripping gels and rust removal products. These specialised formulations address different cleaning and preparation requirements across concrete, masonry, metal and previously painted surfaces.
Whether preparing new concrete, cleaning galvanised steel, removing grease and surface contamination, stripping old paint or treating rusted metal, selecting the appropriate cleaning product is an important part of the coating preparation process.

GALVANIZED IRON CLEANER
Galvanized Iron Cleaner is a ready to use detergent & acid based cleaner designed to react with and clean galvanized iron. It emulsifies oils & grease, removes white rust & salt from galvanized metal surfaces, and after rinsing and drying, it will leave behind a grease free and slightly etched surface ready for paint application.
