Heavy-duty Degreasers
Heavy-duty degreasers play a critical role in various industries
Heavy-duty degreasers play a critical role in various industries such as oil & gas, mining, construction, and industrial maintenance & repair, where the removal of stubborn contaminants, oils, and greases is essential for maintaining machinery and ensuring safety.
Traditionally, hydrocarbons like aromatics have been employed as solvents in heavy duty degreasers but their environmental impact and safety concerns have led to the exploration of more sustainable alternatives.
ESTISOL® fatty acid esters have emerged as a promising option, offering several technical and safety benefits over their hydrocarbon counterparts.
Heavy-duty degreasers are vital cleaning agents utilized across industries to remove stubborn greases, oils, and contaminants from machinery and equipment.
They are used in many industrial sectors, where machinery and equipment are subjected to extreme conditions and harsh environments. The choice of solvent in degreasers is crucial, as it directly impacts efficiency, safety, and environmental impact.
Some ESTISOL® ester solvents have a wide range of benefits making them an attractive alternative to aromatic solvents and terpenes:
- No CLP label
- No VOC
ESTISOL 190 and ESTISOL 242 are powerful solvents with high KB values.
ESTISOL 190 and ESTISOL 242 can substitute aromatic and terpene solvents in heavy-duty cleaners.
