Industrial manufacturing, maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities lead to the accumulation of lubricating oils and greases on engineering components. Effective removal of these contaminants is essential to ensure proper surface treatment and reliable operation. Traditional petroleum-based solvents and chlorinated hydrocarbons pose occupational health risks. Industries are required to follow stringent procedures to reduce hazardous chemical usage, minimize emissions, improve workplace safety, and comply with environmental regulations. To address these challenges, a highly efficient degreasing solution has been developed by NCCCM-BARC, Hyderabad. The technology employs a carefully balanced combination of biodegradable surfactants, alkaline builders, corrosion inhibitors, and performance additives to provide effective cleaning while minimizing adverse impacts on personnel and the environment. The formulation is designed for a wide range of different industrial cleaning applications and can be used through immersion, spray, manual, or ultrasonic cleaning processes.
Industrial manufacturing, maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities leading to the accumulation of contaminants such as lubricating oils, greases, cutting fluids, carbon deposits, waxes, dust, and metallic fines on machinery, tools, and engineering components. Effective removal of these contaminants is essential to ensure proper assembly, accurate inspection, high-quality surface treatment, reliable operation etc.,
Although solvent-based degreasers have traditionally been effective cleaning agents, they present several disadvantages that limit their suitability in modern industrial environments. The developed degreasing solution is water-based which offers several advantages including effective removal of oils and greases with reduced VOC emissions and environmental impact.
The degreasing solution is applicable across a wide range of industries, including nuclear, aerospace, automotive, railway, general engineering, heavy machinery, and maintenance workshops.
