Grease Monkey™ Primeate – Peel & Phos

Grease Monkey™ Primeate – Peel & Phos is a high-performance, phosphate-based immersion cleaner and metal conditioner engineered by Cherokee Chemical Company. Made in the USA, this two-in-one concentrate strips paint and powder coating (“peel”) while simultaneously depositing a thin phosphate conversion coating (“phos”) to improve paint and powder-coat adhesion.

Key Features

• Dual-Action Cleaning & Phosphating
  One-step formulation removes paint and powder coatings and lays down a robust iron phosphate layer.

• Immersion Application
  Ideal for dip tanks—ensures uniform cleaning and conversion coating on complex geometries.

• NOT Safe for Aluminum & Non-Ferrous Metals

• No Methylene Chloride
  Avoids toxic chlorinated solvents, delivering a safer, more environmentally responsible process.

• Concentrated & Economical
  Dilutable up to 50% with water; reclaimable bath extends service life in production environments.

Benefits

• Superior Paint Adhesion
  Phosphate finish creates an ideal anchor profile, reducing peel-offs and improving corrosion resistance.

• Controlled Process
  Heated bath accelerates reaction.

Applications

• Pretreatment for Coating: Metal parts prior to powder coating or painting.

• Machined Components: Strip and phosphate jigs, fixtures, and tooling.
