Sikkens Anti-Static Degreaser

Anti-Static Degreaser is not only an aggressive degreaser for cleaning bare metal, but is also a special degreaser for plastic and fiberglass parts. Anti-Static Degreaser also removes the static charge from raw plastic parts and fiberglass.

Untreated Plastic Parts

1. Wash down the unpainted plastic part with warm water and detergent.
2. Wash down the plastic part with warm Anti-Static Degreaser. The stronger solvent in Anti-Static Degreaser removes mold release agents.
3. With a clean towel, dry off the Anti-Static Degreaser before it has time to evaporate. After this treatment, the surface is also rendered anti-static.
4. When clearing unpainted plastic parts, allow the part to dry out for 20 to 30 minutes after the application of degreaser and before the application of primer.

Note:
Anti-Static Degreaser should also be used on painted plastic parts. Follow the same procedure for unpainted plastic parts.

The use of Autoclean Degreaser must replace Anti-Static Degreaser in areas where the use of low VOC products are mandated.
