Cleaning Solvents
A diverse range of solvents is available, tailored for different degreasing systems to meet the specific needs of your operations. Whether you're using open-top vapor degreasers, vacuum degreasers, or low-flashpoint solvent vapor degreasers, these solvents are designed to optimize the cleaning process while ensuring efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
Engineered Solvents for Open-Top Vapor Degreasers
Open-top vapor degreasers require solvents that deliver high solvency power and fast evaporation rates for effective cleaning. Engineered solvents, including chlorinated solvents (e.g., TCE, PERC) and fluorinated solvents, are specifically designed to meet the demands of these systems. These solvents provide powerful cleaning capabilities for heavy oils, greases, and industrial contaminants while offering low residue formation and excellent cleaning efficiency.

Solvents for Vacuum Degreasers
For precision cleaning and sensitive applications, vacuum degreasers are ideal. These systems use solvents like hydrocarbons and modified alcohol, which are effective at removing light oils, grease, and particulates. Vacuum degreasers are ideal for industries that demand high-quality cleanliness and low solvent usage, making them eco-friendly and cost-efficient options.

Solvents for Low-Flashpoint Vapor Degreasers
Low-flashpoint solvent vapor degreasers, such as those utilizing IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol), acetone, hexanes, and heptane, offer quick and efficient cleaning for light oils, resins, and adhesives. These solvents evaporate rapidly, allowing for fast drying times. Due to their relatively low flashpoints, these systems require specific safety measures but are well-suited for small-scale, quick-turn operations where fast and effective cleaning is paramount.
Each of these systems requires solvents that align with their unique operational features, and a wide selection ensures that the right solution can be found for any specific degreasing need..
