Stainless Steel Cleaners

Low-residue chemistry for cleanroom stainless surfaces and equipment.

Stainless steel is the workhorse surface of most critical environments—benches, carts, tanks, isolators, tools, and process equipment—but it still needs the right chemistry to stay clean and corrosion-free. Cleanroom stainless steel cleaners are formulated to lift oils, fingerprints, process films, and light soils while remaining low-ionic and low-NVR, so they don’t leave residues that can migrate back into the environment or interfere with inspection. Many formulations are also chloride-controlled and non-abrasive, helping protect stainless finishes and maintain passivation over repeated cleaning cycles.

These cleaners are used for routine wipe-downs and periodic deep cleaning of stainless work surfaces, equipment housings, cleanroom furniture, and tool exteriors in pharmaceutical, biotech, semiconductor, medical device, and advanced manufacturing cleanrooms. Because stainless grades and surface finishes vary, always confirm material compatibility before use—review the SDS/technical data sheet, verify the cleaner is approved for your specific alloy/finish, and follow validated dilution and dwell/contact times to avoid staining, pitting, or residue carryover.
