Degreaser suits automotive industry demands
A leading car industry giant has specified De.Solv.It high performance degreaser as the product for use in its "Determination of residual dirt in finished engine and gear components" procedure.
This procedure plays a vital part in the maintenance process as the engineers are looking for worn components that need to be replaced.
The company had previously been using 'Trike' but was looking to significantly reduce their usage levels due to Health and Safety regulations and, in particular, VOC emissions.
This led the company to look at ultrasonic cleaning systems to provide the solution they were looking for and replace the existing 'Trike' system.
The next step was finding a suitable degreaser to work within an ultrasonic system which would provide the cleaning performance they required.
Due to the heavy duty nature of the lubricants Mykal suggested its Aquasolv Ultrasonic Cleaner-Plus (Aqua 22) - a highly concentrated, low alkaline cleaner designed to remove oils, greases, lubricants and other difficult contaminants.
During trials the Ultrasonic Cleaner-Plus (Aqua 22) was used at 5% concentration levels for 5 minutes at 60-70C before the components were given an ultrasonic hot water rinse and then dried.
The trials proved successful in cleaning the components to the required level and provided the advantages of being an aqueous system that removed 'Trike' and VOC emissions from the process completely.
As a result, several ultrasonic tanks have now been purchased and regular orders are being placed for Aquasolv Ultrasonic Cleaner-Plus (Aqua 22). Request a free brochure from Mykal Industries ...
