When selecting a vapor degreaser, you’re likely to have questions. From equipment set up and placement to questions about the chemicals used in the process, starting a vapor degreasing operation can appear daunting. But with the right guidance, it doesn’t need to be. Below is a simple guide to help you better understand vapor degreasing and the options available to you.

NEXT 5408 is an ASTM D2942 aerospace cleaner that is listed as an approved material on Boeing’s commercial PSD 6-77 specification for use under BAC 5408.

There’s no such thing as a foolproof engine. Even cleaning one can be hazardous if not handled with extreme care. Fortunately, you have options for nonflammable solvents and fast-drying solvents that can significantly reduce the chance of injury. Along with a whole host of safety precautions, learn why these types of cleaning chemicals are essential to any industrial operation.

In a single generation, the industrialized world has gone from relative environmental indifference to a protector of natural resources. Not only have consumer minds changed dramatically in the last few years, but new regulations are reflecting those concerns.

Porosity sealing is a critical step in parts manufacturing. Porosity refers to any void or hole that forms in the metal during the casting process. A small amount of porosity is almost always present in castings due to various conditions that occur as metal is injected or cooled. Excess porosity can affect a part’s structural integrity and make the part more susceptible to corrosion. In parts intended to hold pressure — such as valves, pumps and compressors — porosity can also create leak paths and render the part unusable.

Precision parts manufacturing demands effective materials selection, minute attention to design details, precise tools and machines, and highly skilled labor. But even a microscopic speck or smudge of grease, oil or dirt on a part can render all of the above useless. For precision parts to fit together to the correct tolerances and for welds to hold, parts must be impeccably cleaned and free of all traces of contamination. Yet, operational efficiency also must be considered. The ideal cleaning system for parts will be both effective and economical.

Are you looking to acquire or replace a parts cleaning system? If so, you may find yourself comparing aqueous ultrasonic cleaning versus vapor degreasing equipment — and wondering which type of cleaning system is best suited for your needs.

Environmental concerns are a driving factor in industry these days, resulting in phase-outs as older materials and systems are replaced with ones that are more environmentally benign. In line with this trend, the refrigerant R-22, which itself was an improvement over earlier refrigerants, is currently being phased out and replaced with R-410a and other alternatives.

Industries across the board are investing in lean operations. General machine maintenance, especially degreasing, is crucial to smooth operations, and it doesn’t have to take an enormous amount of time. Vapor degreasing is becoming increasingly popular as an efficient, effective solution.

When selecting a parts cleaning method, facility managers must keep many factors in mind. One of the most pressing things to consider is the environmental impact of the method chosen, and the need to remain compliant with environmental protection regulations. However, cost containment is also always an essential consideration when selecting any industrial process.

Solvents are essential for any industrial cleaning application. There are hundreds of different types of solvent cleaners, each with its own characteristics and uses.

Before we discuss these solvent types, let’s first define what a solvent is — a substance (usually a liquid) that can be used to dissolve other materials without chemically changing them. Solvents are classified as inorganic (water is the most common example) or organic. Organic solvents contain carbon and include virtually all of the common industrial metal cleaning solutions.

All chemicals should be treated with respect, and solvents are no exception. In addition to implementing and enforcing proper handling procedures, it is important to store the solvents used in your workplace in a safe and organized manner. Proper chemical solvent storage safeguards human health, protects the environment, and helps prevent costly waste.

Many industries rely on metal-cleaning solvents to help ensure safety, reliability and top performance in their products. Whether you need precision cleaning solutions for aerospace, electronics, automotive, medical devices, jewelry making, metal finishing or any other industry, it is essential to choose a metal-cleaning solvent that meets your needs and your budget. Here are a few questions to help you through the selection process.

Efficiency is the key to success in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. Anywhere you can save a step or a few dollars is an opportunity to boost your efficiency. Eliminating the middleman or any redundant processes can have a substantial impact on your business’s chances for success. That’s why, when you need to buy industrial chemicals, you should take a serious look at buying those chemicals direct from the manufacturer.

Vapor degreasing is a quick, economical and simple process for cleaning even the dirtiest manufactured parts — both metal and plastic — using a thermo-mechanical still and a vaporized solvent.

Krytox 240 AC; an incredibly hardy and therefore tough to remove aerospace grade lubricant is a pain point for many in the critical cleaning industry. NEXT 3000 by Enviro Tech in lab testing has proven to be a superior cleaning solvent for cleaning Krytox lubricant.

Over the past few decades, industry has been moving toward more environmentally benign materials and processes. This trend has led to the phasing out and/or replacement of many industrial chemicals, including industrial solvents.

Solvent waste is not only hard on the environment, it is a waste of money. While industrial cleaning solvents such as EnSolv® 5408 and NEXT 3000 are highly stable and easily reclaimed for repeated re-use, care must be taken to do so in a way that minimizes solvent loss and its associated costs. Here are some ways to minimize the evaporation rate of solvents in your vapor degreasing operation, so you can reduce operating costs and meet your company’s sustainability goals.

Few things are more important to safeguard than human health, and the health of our environment. With each new generation of chemical solvent we develop, we are creating safer alternatives without sacrificing performance and effectiveness.
