CALFIN PREP FP200 E

Low-foaming electro-cleaning designed for effective steel preparation before plating.

CALFIN PREP FP200 E is a highly alkaline, low-foaming electro-cleaner designed for general-purpose anodic electro-cleaning of steel. Its high conductivity supports effective cleaning and activation while providing non-smutting characteristics for metal preparation processes. During operation, the product maintains a light foam blanket over the tank surface to help reduce misting and fuming. Its low phosphate content also supports easier treatment and disposal of spent cleaning solutions. Suitable for both rack and barrel plating operations, CALFIN PREP FP200 E is designed for use in industrial metal finishing and electroplating processes where controlled steel cleaning and surface preparation are required

Applications

Preparing Steel Surfaces Before Electroplating

CALFIN PREP FP200 E is designed for anodic electro-cleaning of steel as part of metal finishing pretreatment. Its cleaning and activating characteristics help prepare steel surfaces for subsequent plating process stages, while its non-smutting properties are suited to controlled surface preparation.

Supporting Rack Plating Production Lines

For components processed on racks, CALFIN PREP FP200 E provides a steel electro-cleaning option that can be integrated into industrial plating operations. Its high conductivity and general-purpose anodic cleaning function make it suitable for surface preparation within rack-based metal finishing processes

Effective Cleaning for Barrel Plating Operations

CALFIN PREP FP200 E is also suitable for barrel plating operations, where batches of compatible steel components require cleaning as part of the pretreatment sequence. Its combination of electro-cleaning, activation and non-smutting characteristics supports its role in preparing steel components for downstream plating stages.

Supporting Steel Component Pretreatment

Industrial steel components often require controlled cleaning before entering subsequent metal finishing stages. CALFIN PREP FP200 E is formulated specifically for steel and provides cleaning and activating action within an anodic electro-cleaning process, making it suitable for production environments where steel surface preparation is an established processing step

Low-Foaming Cleaning for Metal Finishing Tanks

In electro-cleaning tanks where control of surface foam and airborne mist is important, CALFIN PREP FP200 E maintains a light foam blanket over the bath surface. This characteristic helps prevent misting and fuming while supporting the cleaning requirements of steel metal finishing operations.

Supporting Industrial Electro-Cleaning Processes

CALFIN PREP FP200 E can serve as the electro-cleaning stage within industrial steel finishing and plating workflows. The TDS specifies an operating concentration of 8–12 oz/gal, a treatment time of ½–3 minutes, current density of 50–100 amp/sq. ft., and voltage of 6–10 V, providing defined parameters for process implementation
