- Suitable for multi metal applications
Why replace solvents?
The use of solvents such as thinners, xylene, and heptane is increasingly under pressure because of the risks they pose to people and the environment. Although the use of solvents in paint systems has already been significantly reduced, they are still widely used in many metal cleaning processes, often resulting in unnecessary exposure.
In addition, their cleaning performance is often less effective than commonly assumed. In practice, solvents are usually applied with a cloth, often reused multiple times. This rarely results in a fully clean surface, which can lead to adhesion issues or corrosion.
The water break test provides a simple way to verify whether a surface is truly clean. A clean, hydrophilic surface retains a continuous water film, while contamination causes the film to break. On solvent cleaned surfaces, this often makes it visible that the surface has not been properly cleaned after all.
Replace solvents and upgrade your cleaning process with MM31®
AD Chemicals has re engineered the cleaning process before or after mechanical pretreatment. How?
In addition to creating a clean, properly degreased, and coating ready surface, MM31® also forms a conversion layer on the substrate. This conversion layer provides the following benefits:
- Improved paint adhesion and corrosion protection performance
- Protection against flash rust on steel for up to 48 hours
- Protection against white rust on galvanised alloys and aluminiu

Multi Degreaser XP
Multi Degreaser XP is a powerful, aromatic free cleaner and degreaser, specially developed for the manual cleaning of a wide range of surfaces such as metals and plastics.
One step pre-treatment
AD Chemicals supplies a range of chemicals that can be easily implemented in traditional “mechanical” pre-treatment processes to improve cleanliness of the metal surface and/or enhance corrosion protection and paint adhesion properties. All in one single step!
Starter MM
Suitable for: aluminium, galvanised steel and steel, Starter MM is the solution of choice for cleaning metals together with MM31®. It effectively removes oxides, welding scale and light milling scale, can be applied at mild temperatures (20–35°C) and is pH neutral.
MM31®
MM31®, Multi-purpose, Multi-metal. The product combines the worlds of mechanical and chemical pre-treatment. MM31® creates a chromium-3 based protective conversion layer, which is formed on the metal.
