Purge Cleaning

Purge cleaning in paint shops is essential for maintaining efficiency, ensuring smooth production processes, and achieving flawless painting results. As paint application systems frequently switch between colors, it is crucial to remove residual paint quickly and thoroughly to prevent contamination and ensure uniform finishes. Modern paint shops rely on high-speed spray equipment and robotic systems, which must be cleaned rapidly to maintain production flow. The ideal purge cleaning process should be fast, effective across various paint systems, and free from harmful substances that could impact worker safety or the environment. 

In environmentally conscious manufacturing, purge cleaning must also align with stringent sustainability standards. Many factories operate closed-system paint shops that eliminate VOC emissions, requiring cleaners that do not contribute to air pollution or require extensive extraction measures. The use of water-soluble and non-toxic cleaners, such as Gardostrip® P, supports compliance with environmental regulations while minimizing disposal costs. 

Effective purge cleaning solutions prevent foaming, which can disrupt paint coagulation and impact downstream processes. Additionally, low product consumption ensures cost efficiency without compromising performance.
