A degreaser is particularly a cleaner that is designed to remove grease, oils, finger prints, handling soils, cutting fluids, etc., during assembly, metal fabrication, motor repair, and many other applications. A degreaser is also commonly called as precision cleaner, maintenance cleaner, brake cleaner.
The main goal of a degreaser is to remove and get rid of contamination as smoothly as possible, without a lot of scrubbing and wiping. These solvents usually come in pressurized aerosol cans for convenience and to provide for a forceful spray so that the solvent is able to reach into all crevices. Used for a number for industrial, residential, and commercial applications, here are some factors to consider before buying a suitable degreaser—
- Choose the right formulation so that you spend less time and money on degreasing in the long term. Degreasers are important in maintaining a safe and clean environment. It is important that you choose a degreaser that leaves less residue or is residue free.
- Choose a highly evaporative formulation for more efficiency, as it dissipates quickly, leaving no residue behind to attract more grime. Also you are likely to use less product over the time.
- Check for flammability: many degreasers contain alcohol and hydrocarbon solvents which are highly flammable. Look out for open flames, hot surfaces nearby. Flammable degreasers can pose a threat without proper ventilation.
- Toxicity: some toxic chemicals have adverse health effect on workers, when they are exposed to large quantities for too long. Reportedly causing headaches, dizziness and loss of body control.
- Environmental issues: ozone depletion being a major concern for the environment, has led to the manufacturing of formulations that have zero or low global warming potential. ACC Gulf provides a range of low global warming potential degreasers that are formulated to minimize its long term environmental impact.
- Make sure that your selection complies with industrial standards and regulations. It is easier to select degreasers depending upon the industry type and figuring out which ones are acceptable within a specific industry.
