A Tool for Removing Metal Inclusions from the Surface of Paint and Varnish Car Coatings

Abstract

In this article, we presents the synthesis and research of a tool for removing metal inclusions from the surface of car paint coatings. The optimal composition of the product was deter-mined, which includes sodium laureth sulfate, citric acid, sulfosalicylic acid, hydrogen peroxide and water. As a result of the conducted studies, a connection was established between the composition and the physicochemical, surface-active properties of the developed agent. Approbation of this tool was carried out, which confirmed its effectiveness and showed that within 30–45 s after applying the developed tool, not only are metal inclusions on the surface of car paint coating removed but also mineral contaminants in the form of sand, earth, clay and other particles. The aim of the work was to develop and optimize a method for obtaining a low-toxicity, highly effective agent for removing metal inclusions from the surface of car paint coatings and to investigate its effectiveness, as well as its physicochemical, optical and surface-active properties.
