Degreasing
What is degreasing?
Degreasing process is adopted in much industry hence its meaning varies with respect to the application.
In Engineering applications it is removal of oil , grease, soils, forbidden contamination is called degreasing.
Need of Degreasing
- Production Process
Effective metal cleaning/degreasing is vital to all industries where the production process includes fabricating and/or assembling metal parts—mainly the automotive, engineering aviation, appliance - Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul
While in overhauling it is necessary to remove the oxides oils, deposits.
Degreasing Types, Degreasing methods, Degreasing Products
There are several types of parts degreasers based on the applications, nature of contamination, amount of deposits , soils to be removed, process feasibility , time required, amount of cleanness , MOC of the substrate and equipments. Each process, product & manufacturers offering its own unique advantage and benefit while accomplishing a common task of removing grease from metal parts.
Traditionally most preferred products for degreasing are solvents, chlorinated & petroleum solvents. Degreasing efficiency of the product is satisfactory but they are extremely hazardous to the environment. Even chlorinated solvents which are used for degreasing are cacogenic in nature hence very harmful to the user. Some of traditional degreasing plants are based with chlorinated solvents wit heating arrangements. There are few alternatives for degreasing which are eco friendly but harmful to the user’s health. Industry is looking for degreasing products which are effective for heavy duty degreasing but safe to environment & user.
- Plane solvent degreasing
- Solvent degreasing with heating
- Water base chemicals degreasing
Characteristic of Excellent, Eco-friendly Degreasing Chemicals
- Environment Friendly:
Degreasing chemicals must not have harmful effects on the environment. Chlorinated solvents are hazardous to the environment as they cause ozone layer depletion. Biodegradability of the product is another issue associated with some of the degreasing agents. - User Friendly
The degreasing chemicals must not content any cacogenic compounds, chemicals
Degreasing compounds must not be harmful to user’s health
Degreasing must not cause skin irritation
Degreasing compounds must have low TLV - High solvency of Degreasing of Degreasing Chemicals
Degreasing chemicals must have high solvency so that degreasing chemicals easily dissolve the contamination matter, deposits. - Flammability of Degreasing Chemicals
With respect to plant & workforce safety degreasing chemicals must not posses fire hazardous?
Non flammable degreasing chemicals are ensure much more plant safety .The degreasing product which are based on the petroleum solvents has lower flash point - VOC in degreasing products
All though all VOC products are not harmful to the environment but VOC compounds are harmful to the users. However there are number are other disadvantages are associated with use of high degreasing products which contents VOC. They reduce product pot life, after loss of VOC entire solution looses its consistency. Degreasing efficiency of the entire batch reduces - Energy Utilization for degreasing process
Degreasing chemicals must perform well with out heating - Non Reactive chemical nature of degreasing chemicals
Degreasing must not react chemically reacts with process equipments, parts - Degreasing Efficiency
Must have high degreasing power for efficient degreasing of parts, components - Batch time of Degreasing products
Although degreasing batch time vary from application to application total time required must be reduced - Batch/ pot Life of degreasing products
Many degreasing chemicals are safe to environment as well as user but have very low pot life they easily get contaminated with organic matter and loose its cleaning efficiency - Compatibility of degreasing products
Degreasing products must be compatible with oils, soils, metals, rubber, plastic - Biodegradability
Easily Biodegradable degreasing product not going to damage environment and it will lower your effluent disposal costs
