This product duo helps businesses optimize processes, protect the environment, and improve surface quality in an effective, safe, and sustainable solution.

In the metal surface treatment industry, the quality of the paint layer depends heavily on the pre-treatment process. If the surface is not thoroughly cleaned or its corrosion resistance is not ensured, the paint layer will easily peel, blister, and have a reduced lifespan.
Starter MM & MM31® offers a modern cleaning, degreasing, conversion coating, and passivation process that helps businesses:
Effectively cleans oxides, welding slag, and light rolling scale.
Degreases and creates a conversion layer in just one step.
Increases adhesion for powder coatings and wet coatings.
Protects steel, zinc, and aluminum from corrosion.
Reduces water, energy, and wastewater treatment costs.
Contains no toxic solvents and is operator-friendly.
Supports businesses towards Green Deal goals and sustainable production.
In particular, MM31® is a water-based technology, free from hazardous material markings, and meets international standards such as FROSIO, NACE, GSB, Qualicoat, and Qualisteelcoat .
