Why use a Panel Wipe Suitable for Solvent Based Liquids
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Effective Removal of Contaminants
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solvent-based panel wipes are specially formulated to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dissolve grease, oil, wax, and silicone residues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Eliminate contaminants that water-based or general cleaners might leave behind.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clean surfaces thoroughly before painting, bonding, or coating.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Improved Adhesion
|
|
|
|
|
|
Surfaces cleaned with a proper solvent-based panel wipe allow paints, primers, and adhesives to bond more effectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prevents issues like fish-eyes, peeling, or delamination.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Evaporates Quickly
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solvent-based wipes typically evaporate faster than water-based cleaners, leaving no moisture or residue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This reduces the risk of corrosion or interference with coatings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Compatible with Solvent-Based Paint Systems
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using the correct type of panel wipe ensures chemical compatibility with the paint or coating being used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Avoids reactions or softening of previously applied layers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Professional-Grade Finish
|
|
|
|
|
|
Common in automotive refinishing and high-performance coatings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prepares the substrate for a smooth, even, and durable finish.
