Solvent base degreaser

Solvent base degreasers are solvent-based cleaners used to remove oil, grease, fat, tar, and other contaminants from metal surfaces, machinery, or industrial equipment.

Here's a more complete explanation 👇

Definition

Solvent-based degreasers consist of organic chemical compounds (such as hydrocarbons, alcohols, or ketones) that dissolve fats and oils without the use of water.
Unlike water-based degreasers, these products are not mixed with water and work by dissolving dirt directly.

Main Functions

1. Cleaning metal surfaces from oil or grease before processing:

   • Painting orcoating

   • Welding

   • Machine assembly

2. Cleaning automotive equipment and engine components.

3. Removes residual oil, tar, and other hydrocarbon substances.

Advantages

• High solubility to oil and grease.

• Dries fast (due to volatiles).

• Leaves no residue if formulated correctly.

• Effective forheavy-duty cleaning.

Drawbacks & Safety

• Potentially flammable (depending on solvent type).

• Produces toxic vapors, needs good ventilation when used.

• May cause skin and respiratory irritation.

• Requires disposal of chemical waste in accordance with environmental regulations.

Examples of Solvent Base Degreasers

• Naphtha-based degreaser

• Mineral spirits cleaner

• Trichloroethylene (TCE) degreaser

• Acetone-based degreaser
