RENSA STEEL is a very efficient citric acid based detergent for pretreatment of galvanized sheet-iron and zinc-coated steel surfaces before painting.

RENSA STEEL is a pretreatment agent for maintenance painting. It is meant for washing new untreated zinc-coated and galvanized steel surfaces before painting with paints for sheet-iron roofs. It removes very efficiently zinc salts, grease, dirt and other impurities. RENSA STEEL is a biodegradable product. It meets the requirements by OECD and by the Detergent regulation of European Parliament and the Council on detergents for biodegradability (OECD 301B, EC 648 / 2004).
