Medium-Duty Aqueous Detergent For Delicate Soft Metal Industrial Cleaning Applications
AquaVantage® HTD is a medium-duty, water-based detergent developed specifically for specialist metallurgy applications. It provides an effective safe alternative to highly alkaline cleaners and solvent degreasers, delivering reliable soil removal while maintaining material safety, integrity and environmental compliance.
Medium-Duty Cleaning Without Harsh Chemistry
AquaVantage® HTD is used in a range of specialist cleaning operations for the removal of a wide range of organic and inorganic surface soils during the manufacture of specialist modern products.
These include:
Buffing Compounds and Particulates
Coolants, Grease and Oils
Drawing, forming and cutting compounds
Hydrocarbons and lubricants
Self-Emulsifying and Water-Soluble contaminants
pH-Neutral, Material-Safe Formulation
Despite its high cleaning capability, AquaVantage® HTD operates as a neutral detergent, with a typical pH of approximately 8. The formulation contains no silicates or phosphates.
These characteristics help to:
- Protect soft, sensitive and delicate metals
- Reduce the risk of surface attack, etching or staining
- Improve environmental and waste-handling profiles
This makes AquaVantage® HTD suitable for specialist process cleaning where material compatibility remains critical.
Compatible With Common Industrial Cleaning Systems
AquaVantage® HTD is designed for flexibility across the cleaning equipment commonly used in industrial engineering manufacturing environments.
Suitable systems include:
- Immersion tanks
- Agitated wash systems
- Ultrasonic cleaning equipment
When operated within recommended parameters, the detergent delivers stable performance across batch volumes and supports consistent and long-term cost-saving bath life.
Supporting Solvent Replacement And Safer Workplaces
Many industrial facilities are actively reducing their reliance on solvent degreasers due to health, safety and regulatory pressures. AquaVantage® HTD supports these solvent-replacement programmes without compromising cleaning effectiveness.
Key considerations:
- Water-based, solvent-free formulation
- Fully REACH compliant
- Reduced operator exposure to aggressive chemistry
- Improved overall workshop safety
Typical Applications
AquaVantage® HTD detergent is used for applications such as :
- Battery tray and housing preparation
- Cooling-plate components
- Aluminium and composite structures
- Robotics systems within battery production
- Pre-bonding and pre-sealing cleaning
Bio-Clean supports stable, predictable cleaning processes as the EV sector grows.
