Message: Hello, we're polishing aluminum so we can
electropolish and anodize it. Currently, we're
stepping up as far a 0.05um colloidal silica to do
the polishing. The problem we're running into is
that the colloidal silica particles tend to stick
to the aluminum surface after polishing. We have
an ultrasonic cleaner in our lab already, but we
haven't had any good results when using it with
regular water or dish soap. We found your website
when looking for various cleaning agents for
aluminum and are interested in trying out one of
your products (like MC1 or MC3). However, we
don't want to purchase 12Q when we have no clue if
it will work or not. Therein lies my question -
is it possible for you to send us a small sample
of your product for us to try prior to us making a
commitment to purchasing a larger quantity of it?
Thank you,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
I think you are looking in the right direction. The MC3 Metal Cleaner
will work, most likely. And you can buy a single quart of it here
In addition, it is an emulsifying cleaner, so it will hold particulates in suspension,
and keep them from re-depositing on your parts.
