Manufacturing Parts Washer Detergents for Manufacturing & Industrial

Aqueous detergents for spray cabinets, immersion, and ultrasonic units

Aqueous parts washing depends on the right detergent for the equipment: low-foam concentrates for spray cabinets, immersion formulas for soak tanks, and ultrasonic-compatible chemistry. The detergent has to remove machining oils and swarf without attacking the substrate.

Look for low-foam concentrate options sized to your reservoir. Each SKU lists packaging and MOQ; request a quote and we handle freight.

Common challenges

  • Foam carryover in high-pressure spray cabinets
  • Machining oils and swarf loading the bath quickly
  • Substrate compatibility across mixed metals

How ICD helps

  • Low-foam concentrates engineered for spray equipment
  • Immersion and ultrasonic-compatible detergents
  • Reservoir-sized packaging with MOQ shown per SKU
