Hi: I am attempting to answer a query regarding the use of phosphate washes. A steel parts manufacturer in PA uses a liquid spray wash consisting of phosphates which is used to prep steel prior to painting. The phosphate helps the paint adhere to the steel. However, they are having difficulty meeting local effluent limits. Are there any a. substitute products available which can be used for this purpose? b. Is there a different process that can acheive the same result which is waterless and does not result in VOCs? c. substitute paints that can skip this washing process altogether but results in good adhesion to steel? Thanks for your help. Deirdre T. Lehman reply directly via P2 tech or call 717-772-5160 or email at Lehman.Deirdre@1.dep.state.pa.us or write: PA DEP Office of Pollution Prevention and Compliance Assistance PO BOX 8772 Harrisburg, PA 17105
