Industrial Degreasing: The Foundation of Effective Technical Cleaning

Degreasing is the process by which fats, oils, and organic residues are removed from the surface of parts.
It is an essential preliminary step to ensure the quality of subsequent processes such as:

• Heat treatment
• Surface coatings (painting, PVD, CVD, anodizing)
• Welding, brazing
• Assembly of sensitive components
• Quality controls (dimensional, NDT, etc.)

Common Methods of
Industrial Degreasing

Solvent Degreasing

A highly efficient method for removing heavy oils, waxes, and strongly adhered greases. It uses hydrocarbons, modified alcohols, or chlorinated solvents.

Advantages
Unmatched dissolving power
Deep cleaning of complex geometries
Fast and residue-free
Continuous and efficient extraction of dissolved compounds
Consumable usage

Water-Based Degreasing

Uses alkaline or neutral solutions
with surfactants that “break down” grease.

Advantages
Limited initial investment
Compatible with mass production
Effective cleaning of non-organic compounds
