Save Time and Money with Great Lakes Laboratories' Preps and Cleaners

No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner

Great Lakes Laboratories’ No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner cuts cleaning costs by eliminating the final rinsing of the cleaned surface before coating application. In field use, No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner has delivered superior cleaning performance and surface adhesion characteristics. The rapid drying time after cleaning permits quick coating application. This saves the downtime costs involved in closing all or part of a facility during the cleaning operation. In many cases the coating can be applied before the scaffolding has to come down to accommodate personnel or to be moved to another location.

Product Description
No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner is a concentrated alkaline detergent blend specially developed to reduce cleaning time and water use by eliminating the rinsing step.

Once soil has been removed from the surface by spraying, wiping, air-lancing or vacuuming, a water rinse of the cleaned surface is not required before coating, sealing or staining.

This is possible because No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner does not leave a soapy residue or film which could impair coating adhesion.

No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner is effective across a wide range of soil types and may be used before applying water-borne coatings and sealants.

All Purpose Prepaint Degreaser

Product Description
All Purpose Prepaint Degreaser is an industrial grade, water-reducible, alkaline detergent developed especially for cleaning tasks requiring the safe removal of oils, greases, fats and carbon deposits. The advanced combination of wetting and penetrating agents offers superior cleaning, degreasing and surface preparation results.

• All Purpose Prepaint Cleaner is odorless, requires no unreasonable safety equipment and performs effectively through a broad temperature range. It mixes readily in water and is safe to use near vegetation.

Uses

• Prepaint Cleaning
  Heavy-duty degreasing before applying coatings or sealants including, elastomeric, epoxy, urethane, acrylic and latex systems. Especially effective in cleaning floors and steam cleaning applications.
• Rust Inhibition
