Today, formulators and manufacturers are under increasing pressure to deliver high cleaning efficiency while reducing energy and water consumption, controlling foam and managing increasingly complex combinations of metals and oils.âIn this webinar, we will demonstrate how the right cleaning additives can address these challenges and improve the efficiency of aqueous metal-cleaning formulations. Using comparative lab data and application-relevant testing, we will show how Syensqoâs cleaning additive toolboxâincluding Addikleen⢠T2KD E and the Antarox® LF seriesâcan help:ââAchieve strong detergency at lower operating temperaturesââMaintain performance across multiple metal substrates and challenging oils/soilsââControl foam in immersion and spray processesâWe will also share formulation optimization guidance to balance cleaning performance, foam control, solubility and total process efficiency (bath stability, etc).âJoin us for practical, formulation-focused insights to develop high-performance, energy-efficient and robust metal-cleaning solutions for todayâs evolving industrial requirements.âAgendaEmerging metal-cleaning challenges for manufacturers and formulators.âHow to achieve high cleaning efficiency under challenging conditions, sharing comparative application testing results for immersion and spray processes. âLevers to improve process robustness and bath performanceâ. four.

When it's right, adhesion and corrosion resistance are consistent and predictable. When it's off — even slightly — problems often surface months later as rust, blistering or rework. 958 959In this webinar, Hubbard-Hall pretreatment expert Gary Raihl draws on decades of plant-floor and lab experience to focus on the three variables that most directly control results: time, temperature and testing. Rather than stopping at routine titrations, this session examines how cleaner exposure, stage temperature, line speed and bath control influence soil removal, water break and conversion coating formation. 960 961Attendees will see how these fundamentals translate into coating weight, adhesion and corrosion performance — and why good chemistry can still fall short when process drift or poor communication between operations, equipment and chemical teams goes unchecked. The goal is to clarify what should be monitored, why it matters and how small deviations in pretreatment conditions can become major coating problems downstream. 962 963Agenda: 964 965 966 Why coating failures start in pretreatment: how incomplete cleaning or poor conversion lead to corrosion, adhesion loss and rework months later 967 The impact of time and temperature on performance: how dwell time, bath temperature and line speed control soil removal and coating formation 968 What to monitor beyond titrations: key indicators such as dwell time, temperature, water break, coating weight and in-process verification 969 How testing connects the lab to the line: using salt spray, coating weight and process logs to confirm performance and detect drift early 970 Why communication is a process control tool: how coordination between chemical, equipment and operations teams prevents compatibility issues and downstream failures 971 972 973 </p> 974 </li> 975 <li class="pe-4"> 976 977 <div class="strip-image-container mb-1 p-1"> 978 <a href="/events/details/using-advancements-in-xrf-technology-to-optimize-your-process-chemistry-control" class="text-decoration-none"> 979 <picture> 980 <source srcset="https://d2n4wb9orp1vta.cloudfront.net//showrooms/profile/logo/FISCHER LOGO.JPG;maxWidth=150;quality=70;format=webp" type="image/webp"> 981 <img src="https://d2n4wb9orp1vta.cloudfront.net//showrooms/profile/logo/FISCHER LOGO.JPG;maxWidth=150;quality=70" loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Fischer Technology, Inc." width="150"> 982 </picture> 983 </a> 984 </div> 985 986 <div class="mb-1"> 987 <span class="text-decoration-none strip-kicker-copy small text-uppercase"> 988 On Demand 989 </span> 990 </div> 991 <a href="/events/details/using-advancements-in-xrf-technology-to-optimize-your-process-chemistry-control" class="strip-title-copy lh-sm h6 mb-2 text-decoration-none line-clamp-2"> 992 Using Advancements in XRF Technology to Optimize Your Process Chemistry Control 993 </a> 994 <p class="line-clamp-3 small strip-description-copy mb-1">
995 Do you know what is in your electroplating bath? While X-ray fluorescence (XRF) has traditionally been used in electroplating facilities to measure the thickness and composition of plated coatings, many in the industry are now recognizing its value for monitoring the elemental composition of plating baths as well. XRF enables simultaneous multi-element analysis with significantly reduced sample preparation time and cost compared to conventional techniques. 996 997This enhanced visibility into bath chemistry allows for more consistent process checks, enabling operators to maintain bath stability and respond proactively to changes before they result in process disruptions. Advancements in automation and inline measurement now make it possible to integrate XRF directly into plating lines — facilitating real-time analysis and automated bath adjustments for optimized performance. Join Fischer Technology to explore the latest innovations in how electroplaters can leverage XRF to improve efficiency, quality and control in their operations. 998 999Agenda: 1000 1001 1002 How XRF technology can analyze plating bath chemistry 1003 How this analysis can improve your plating quality, efficiency and costs 1004 How this compares to alternate methods 1005 How to improve control and quality traceability with continuous monitoring using inline XRF 1006 1007 1008 </p> 1009 </li> 1010 <li class="pe-4"> 1011 1012 <div class="strip-image-container mb-1 p-1"> 1013 <a href="/events/details/beyond-clean-how-surface-prep-chemistry-drives-powder-coating-performance" class="text-decoration-none"> 1014 <picture> 1015 <source srcset="https://d2n4wb9orp1vta.cloudfront.net//showrooms/profile/images1/HH Logo w Name Red Blue.1732636974730.png;maxWidth=150;quality=70;format=webp" type="image/webp"> 1016 <img src="https://d2n4wb9orp1vta.cloudfront.net//showrooms/profile/images1/HH Logo w Name Red Blue.1732636974730.png;maxWidth=150;quality=70" loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="" width="150"> 1017 </picture> 1018 </a> 1019 </div> 1020 1021 <div class="mb-1"> 1022 <span class="text-decoration-none strip-kicker-copy small text-uppercase"> 1023 On Demand 1024 </span> 1025 </div> 1026 <a href="/events/details/beyond-clean-how-surface-prep-chemistry-drives-powder-coating-performance" class="strip-title-copy lh-sm h6 mb-2 text-decoration-none line-clamp-2"> 1027 Beyond Clean: How Surface Prep Chemistry Drives Powder Coating Performance 1028 </a> 1029 <p class="line-clamp-3 small strip-description-copy mb-1"> 1030 In powder coating, performance starts long before the powder ever hits the part. This session takes a closer look at the role of surface prep chemistry and how it shapes coating outcomes — from adhesion to corrosion resistance and overall durability. 1031 1032Attendees will hear real-world examples of how shops are adjusting their pretreatment process based on part geometry, metal type and soils — from cold rolled and hot forged steel to extruded and architectural aluminum. Hubbard-Hall will explore the role of cleaner-coaters, deoxidizers and derusters — and how to work through issues like stearates on drawn steel or paraffin-based lubricants. 1033 1034Whether you're running a five-stage washer or working through inconsistent results, this session shows how looking beyond time, temperature and concentration — and toward chemistry, process flow and substrate condition — can lead to more consistent, higher-performing finishes. 1035 1036Agenda: 1037 1038 1039 Understand how surface prep chemistry interacts with different metals and soils 1040 Learn how cleaner coaters, deoxidizers and derusters fit into a modern pretreatment process 1041 See how real shops have improved performance by adjusting their surface prep approach 1042 Gain troubleshooting tips for resolving common coating failures tied to inadequate prep 1043 1044 1045 </p> 1046 </li> 1047</ul></div> 1048 1049 1050 1051<div class="tab-pane fade p-0 m-0 strip-featured-aside " id="tab-target-7df284fb57064c8a98875a5b30413c1c" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="7df284fb57064c8a98875a5b30413c1c"> 1052 <div class="strip-items-container pe-2 ps-0 pt-3"> 1053 <div class="d-flex flex-wrap justify-content-between mb-3"> 1054 <div class="d-flex align-items-center">
