Preparing a metal surface – or any surface – for a high-quality finish starts with a deep cleaning. This step is important to get the best results from any coating or treatment.

Cleaning services at Trans-Acc include removal of paint, powder coating, rust, scale, grease, or other surface conditions that affect the part’s performance. We use multiple techniques, including immersion cleaning for metal, degreasing services for metal, chemical cleaning, and high-pressure washing. Our advanced methods also include aluminum oxide and steel shot blasting. These processes are ideal for metal cleaning and pretreatment before applying any finish.

We also provide immersion cleaning for metal as part of our complete service line. This helps remove oil and dirt from every part, even in tight areas. For heavily greased or oily parts, we offer strong and efficient degreasing services for metal. These services ensure surfaces are fully clean and ready for coating.

Because quality matters, we check every part after the cleaning is done. Our team performs a full inspection to make sure no grease, rust, or scale remains. This is done whether you’re ordering a coating or using cleaning as a stand-alone service. Many customers who choose our nylon coating services rely on our cleaning first. A clean surface ensures these coatings stick better and last longer.

Our customers using automated powder coating systems also trust our immersion and degreasing services. Proper cleaning prepares surfaces so the automated process runs smoothly and produces the best finish possible.

We offer immersion cleaning for metal and degreasing services for metal to all customers—whether as preparation for a coating or as an individual process. Either way, you’ll get the same care, precision, and quality we’re known for.

How Liquid Nylon Creates a Protective Barrier

As discussed by Corrosionpedia in “How Liquid Nylon Can Create an Impervious Coating Barrier,” liquid nylon coating technology is designed to create a continuous protective film that helps isolate underlying materials from corrosive and demanding environments. Self-leveling liquid nylon formulations can provide uniform coverage while minimizing pinholes and voids in the finished coating. These coatings… [Read More]

How Powder Coating Creates Durable Finishes

As discussed by Finishing Systems in “Powder Coating Benefits,” powder coating offers several advantages when compared with conventional liquid painting for suitable applications. Powder coatings can produce thick, consistent finishes without the runs or drips associated with some liquid coatings. The process can also provide strong resistance to impacts, moisture, chemicals, ultraviolet exposure, and other… [Read More]

Why Manufacturers Choose Powder Coating

As discussed by Fictiv in “Powder Coating: Process, Benefits, and Industry Applications,” powder coating combines electrostatic application and thermal curing to produce a durable finish on compatible components. Potential benefits include resistance to scratching, chipping, corrosion, and general wear, along with consistent coverage and a broad selection of finishes. Powder coating can be used across… [Read More]

How Does the Powder Coating Process Work?

As explained by Fine MetalWorking in “What is Powder Coating? Process & Uses,” powder coating applies a dry finishing material to a prepared surface and then cures the coating to create a continuous protective layer. Surface preparation is an important part of the process because contaminants can interfere with coating adhesion and finished quality. After… [Read More]
