Metal Cleaning/Degreasing
Effective metal cleaning/degreasing is vital to all industries where the production process includes fabricating and/or assembling metal parts—mainly the automotive, aviation, appliance and railroad industries. During the various steps of the production process, metal parts must be cleaned of oils, fluxes and grease. Although new cleaning products have been developed and marketed, in most cases chlorinated solvents supplied in closed-loop systems provide the best option. Chlorinated solvents, in addition to their technical superiority, are also unsurpassed in terms of workplace safety, environmental protection and economics. Emissions can be minimised by use in closed-loop systems.
Some specific benefits and features of chlorinated solvents in metal cleaning/degreasing:
- High solvency
- Non-flammability
- Compatibility with many different contaminants such as oils, metal chips and fines
- Proven performance
- Efficient cleaning
- Fast and residue-free drying
- Easy recovery
- Closed-loop system established
- Low operating temperatures
The following solvents are highly efficient and corrosion-free in metal cleaning applications, including most aluminium equipment. If you have questions about using chlorinated solvents with your aluminium applications, contact us.
