Plastics Industry
When treating plastics chemically, it is important to ensure that the use of chemicals does not adversely affect them. Improperly formulated cleaners can attack the polymer structure and cause microcracks and embrittlement, particularly in sensitive polycarbonates such as Makrolon®.
RHOBA-Chemie offers a specially developed portfolio of specialty chemicals designed for various types of plastics. Our formulations reliably remove residues and ensure a gentle yet effective process.
Industrial Component Cleaning
Component cleaning is a key part of the plastics industry. Residues such as mold release agents, dust, or abrasion must first be reliably removed to ensure the success of downstream processes such as bonding, painting, or welding. This reduces scrap and ensures consistent process quality over the long term.
Specialty Chemicals for Plastic Surfaces
We offer a coordinated product portfolio of additives and specialty chemicals for all sectors of the plastics industry:
Solvent-Based Cleaning Systems
The RHOBA LAVIA L Series consists of solvent-based cleaners for the pretreatment of plastic parts. They remove stubborn oils, greases, release agents, and manufacturing residues, resulting in a surface that is both visually and chemically clean.
Water-Based Cleaning Systems
The RHOBA LAVIA W Series offers highly effective, water-based cleaning systems. They are also suitable for pretreatment and reliably remove oils, greases, and other residues.
