Below is a list of contaminants that TCI Cleaning can remove for you. If the contaminant does not appear in this list, please contact us for advice.
These types of contaminant are often a result of an error during the production process. For instance, it is possible that certain paint layers are rejected due to layer thickness, level of gloss or even colour. In addition, coatings can also be completely removed from products that are being renovated. This creates ‘bare’ material that can be re-treated. These contaminants are primarily understood to be:
