At Instaquim we are the strategic partner for the metallurgical and heavy industry, providing specialized chemical solutions that optimize cleaning and maintenance processes in environments of maximum operational demanding requirements.

Specific cleaning challenges in metallurgy and steelmaking

The metallurgical industry faces unique challenges resulting from high-temperature processes, metal handling, and intensive use of industrial lubricants. Our solutions are designed to address these critical needs with maximum effectiveness.

  • Removal of greases and industrial oils: Machining residues, rolling and forming debris requiring high-concentration alkaline detergents.
  • Cleaning of oxides and scale: Metal incrustations generated in furnaces, galvanizing lines and thermal processes that require specialized acid descalers.
  • Degreasing of heavy machinery: High-tonnage equipment exposed to extreme contamination requiring fast-acting, low-rinse products.
  • Facility maintenance: Industrial floors, production areas and auxiliary zones subject to intense traffic and constant spills.

Our chemical product range for heavy industry

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of solutions formulated specifically for the metallurgical sector. Our alkaline-based industrial degreasers effectively remove cutting oils, coolants and forming lubricants, while our acid descalers act on ferric oxides.

We also provide neutral maintenance detergents for daily cleaning, foaming products for vertical application in tanks and structures, as well as industrial disinfectants to ensure hygienic conditions in changing rooms and common areas. All our products comply with European chemical safety regulations and are backed by updated technical and safety data sheets.
