Solvent Systems
Solvent degreasing is an essential process for engineers and manufacturers requiring high-performance cleaning of parts and assemblies. Selecting the right degreasing system depends on factors like the complexity of the parts, contamination type, environmental regulations, and operational scale. Below, we detail four solvent degreasing methods commonly used in industrial applications, with their advantages and considerations.
Types of Solvent Systems
-
Conventional Open Top Degreasers
Solvent: Chlorinated or Fluorinated Solvents
A straightforward system where heated solvent vapors clean and dry parts in one step. Ideal for high-volume and heavy-duty cleaning applications.
-
Vacuum Degreasers
Solvent: Hydrocarbons or modified alcoholsA sealed system using reduced pressure to enhance cleaning efficiency, reduce solvent use, and achieve precision cleaning for complex or delicate parts.
-
Liquid CO2 Degreasers
Solvent: Liquid carbon dioxide (CO2)An eco-friendly solution utilizing pressurized liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) for residue-free cleaning, ideal for delicate components and green initiatives.
-
Low-Flashpoint Vapor Degreasers
Solvent: Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or acetone
Description Compact systems using volatile solvents for rapid cleaning and drying of light contaminants, suited for small-scale or quick-turn operations.
