Will galvanized steel plates rust? How should galvanized plates be properly degreased and cleaned?

As we all know, galvanized steel plates are an alloy product manufactured to prevent iron materials from being corroded and rusted and effectively extend their service life. There are many types of galvanized steel plates, among which hot-dip galvanized steel plates are common. So will galvanized steel plates rust? How can we degrease and clean galvanized plates in daily life to make them less prone to rust? Will galvanized steel plates rust?

In fact, under normal circumstances, galvanized steel plates are generally not easy to rust. However, if they are improperly stored, scratched and bumped more or less, and water vapor invades, they are very likely to rust. In addition, zinc is used to protect metals. If the zinc coating is uneven and exposes the metal inside or accidentally comes into contact with other metals and undergoes a chemical reaction, it will also rust. Some people may ask how many years galvanized steel plates can remain rust-free. Regarding this question, it depends on specific circumstances, such as different production areas or the galvanized plates themselves, such as how thick the zinc coating of galvanized plates is. How to properly degrease and clean galvanized steel plates?

1. Solvent-based degreasing cleaning agent

This degreasing cleaning agent removes oil quickly and does not require rinsing. Moreover, because it is volatile, it eliminates the need for drying. It can be said that its performance can basically meet the requirements for degreasing the surface of galvanized steel plates and was widely used in early industrial production. However, this degreasing cleaning agent also has a disadvantage of being highly volatile. Prolonged contact can cause greater harm to human skin and breathing. In addition, the cost is relatively high. Therefore, its application is currently decreasing or there is an increasingly obvious trend of being gradually eliminated and replaced.

2. Water-based degreasing cleaning agent

Because of professional industry research, this professionally developed degreasing cleaning agent not only completely removes oil but also has a low cost. More importantly, it has a high safety in use and has become an ideal replacement product for solvent-based degreasing cleaners and has become the ideal replacement product in this industry.

How to choose a galvanized plate cleaning agent?

1. If there is a cut in galvanized steel plate products, it will be prone to rust. At this time, a galvanized steel plate cleaning agent that has little impact on the cut of galvanized steel plates during the cleaning process and has anti-rust function should be selected.

2. The coating of galvanized steel plates is used to protect metals and is often easily affected. Therefore, if a non-specialized galvanized steel plate cleaner is used, dezincification is prone to occur.

3. Regarding the residue problem of the cleaning agent, as long as the cleaning agent used does not affect the material characteristics of the product, the slight residue after washing will not affect the storage of future products.

Through the above introduction, I believe you have clearly recognized that if improper storage or a wrong cleaning agent is chosen, it is very easy to cause rust on galvanized steel plates. These should be paid special attention to.
