Degreasing metal parts at room temperature is possible!
Typically, industrial metal parts cleaning operations are carried out at temperatures of 40, 60 ºC and above.
Working at temperatures below 30°C, even at room temperature, presents some challenges for degreasing fluids: cleaning performance, tramp oil rejection, separation of foreign oils and keeping them safe from microbiological contamination.
The main advantages of lower working temperatures are:
- Lower energy and water consumption due to evaporation.
- increased safety of workers
- Improved process sustainability
FUCHS has developed RENOCLEAN FSO 4008 to enable high performance cold degreasing.
- High degreasing and cleaning capacity.
- Formulated to work at room temperature.
- Low surface tension, which avoids the formation of drops.
- Free of salts and mineral oil, providing a clean surface free of inorganic residues.
- Excellent anti-corrosion properties.
- Non-foaming, even at low temperatures and high working pressures.
- Very good tramp oil rejection.
- Long service life.
- Free of chlorinated solvents, boron, nitrites, phenols and formaldehyde releasers.
- Minimal in-service hazards and environmental impact.
