Aqueous Parts Cleaning Solutions

Jetsons utilizes advanced aqueous parts cleaning solutions that leverage chemistry, heat, water, and agitation to achieve cleanliness levels superior to traditional solvents with a reduced environmental footprint. Our aqueous parts cleaning solutions can incorporate the following:

Oxygen cleaning standards. Oxygen cleaning follows a strict set of guidelines and specifications to remove contaminants from a part (hyrocarbons, oils, and other particles). In order to comply, standards such as CGA 4.1, ASTM G93, and MIL-STD-1330 must be followed.

Specialized parts cleaning. Aqueous parts cleaning can be tailored for specific industries, such as aerospace, automotive, and medical

Ultrasonic integration. We can combine aqueous chemistry with ultrasonic cleaning to dislodge particles from sub-micron crevices

Validation and verification. We quantify cleaning performance using rigorous testing methods to ensure parts meet strict residue and particulate specifications.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning is a cornerstone of our process, utilizing high-frequency sound waves to create cavitation bubbles that lift contaminants from intricate surfaces. Our ultrasonic systems are specifically designed to dislodge microscopic debris, carbon deposits, and metal shavings from blind holes, internal channels, and threaded features.
We can safely process a wide array of materials, from rugged Inconel and Hastelloy superalloys to delicate aluminum and plastics, ensuring contaminants are removed without compromising the integrity of the substrate.
Applications that can benefit from our ultrasonic cleaning solutions include:

Aerospace. Critical cleaning for hydraulic systems, engine parts, and manifolds where zero-fail performance is required.

Medical devices. High-precision cleaning for implants and surgical equipment to meet stringent biocompatibility readiness requirements.

Semiconductors. Removing sub-micron particles from conductors, wafers, and photomasks.

Post-cleaning validation. We ensure every part meets specific industry standards and provide the documentation necessary for high-margin aerospace and industrial sectors.

Manual Cleaning

For components with delicate substrates or ultra-complex configurations, Jetsons provides manual cleaning services. This process is essential for high-value parts where human precision is required to meet strict cleanliness standards.

Wiping & scrubbing. Our technicians use specialized tools to remove stubborn contaminants like carbon deposits, oxidation, and grease from manifold surfaces and mounting plates.

Material-specific care. We apply tailored manual techniques for sensitive materials, including aluminum, plastics, and rubbers, so that the cleaning process does not degrade the part.

Inspection-ready cleaning. Each manually cleaned part is prepared for post-cleaning testing to ensure it adheres to regulatory specifications.

Complex internal channels. Manual flow-through techniques can be used for parts that require a hands-on approach to ensure complete contaminant removal.

Passivation/Derouging

High-purity stainless steel water systems and processing equipment can develop “rouge”—a layer of iron oxide/hydroxide that can impact system sterility and purity. For most of our cleaning processes, we will also provide passivation/derouging services to help preserve the equipment.

Our passivation and derouging services chemically remove this layer, restoring the surface finish and ensuring compliance with high-purity standards. We help you extend the lifecycle of your capital equipment, including:

• Semiconductor processing chambers
• High-purity water (WFI) distribution systems
• Pharmaceutical mixing vessels

Metal Finishing

Before a part can be coated, welded, or assembled, it should be chemically and physically pristine. Our metal finishing services are designed to remove the byproducts of machining, such as coolants, metal fines, and stamping oils, that can outgas in vacuum environments or cause adhesion failures in coating applications.

Our finishing services include:

Surface preparation. Ensuring optimal adhesion for anodizing, plating, or painting.

Pre-assembly cleaning. Removing distinct contaminants that could interfere with tight-tolerance mating surfaces.

Post-machining treatments. Eliminating burrs and microscopic debris from complex machined features.
