Answer 1

Hi,

maybe have a look in the folder: 259:Manufacture of other fabricated metal products; metalworking service activities and folder: 2592:Treatment and coating of metals; machining.

There is the process: degreasing, metal part in alkaline bath using various materials. Otherwise, you will find surfactants in the process folder: 2023:Manufacture of soap and detergents, cleaning and polishing preparations..

Hope this helps
