Cleaning and Degreasing
Pre-treatment services for optimal coating adhesion
Achieving a flawless coating begins with the foundation of clean, contaminant-free surfaces. At Hardide, we offer a comprehensive cleaning and degreasing service that ensures every component is meticulously prepared for optimal coating adhesion and reliable in-service performance.
Precision coatings demand pristine surfaces. Any trace of oil, grease or oxidation can reduce coating adhesion and compromise long-term durability. Our cleaning and degreasing services are engineered to deliver total surface preparation for the highest coating integrity, especially on complex components.

Dual-process versatility
We use a two-stage approach that allows us to tailor cleaning to the contamination profile and geometry of each part.
Electrolytic alkaline cleaning
This method uses an electrically charged alkaline solution to break down and displace contaminants, even in deep recesses or internal channels. The electric current drives cleaning action into non-line-of-sight areas.
Perchloroethylene vapour degreasing
Perchloroethylene (perc) vapour degreasing: A powerful solvent-based technique ideal for removing heavy machining oils and organic residues, particularly where moisture sensitivity is a concern.
Engineered for complexity
We specialise in components with intricate features like threaded holes, internal bores, cooling channels and non-uniform surfaces. Our cleaning methods can reach every corner, preparing your parts for further surface treatments with consistent, uniform cleanliness.
Repeatable results, every time
Our cleaning systems are rigorously maintained, and quality checks are embedded throughout the process. You can count on consistency across high-volume batches and single, high-value components alike.
A crucial part of extending component life
Whether you’re preparing parts for Hardide CVD coatings or need critical cleanliness for inspection, our cleaning and degreasing service is a key enabler of downstream success. It’s available as a standalone process or can be integrated directly into your coating project.
