For most industries, cleaning is a very complex and, at the same time, essential task. Companies must carry out thorough daily cleaning both on the surface and inside the machinery, because encrusted stains are very common and can cause severe damage.
These stains, which are usually caused by different greases or oils, must be cleaned with specific substances such as industrial degreasers, chemical products that remove them and can prevent the machinery from suffering any kind of deterioration, thus ensuring its correct operation at all times and hygiene for staff.
Types of industrial degreasers
Industrial degreasers (which work in a similar way to a powerful kitchen degreaser) can be made up of different acidic, neutral and alkaline substances which, on contact with grease, create a chemical reaction that will act in two ways, depending on the type of formulation.
Firstly, solvent-based degreasers act by creating a total chemical solution that completely removes the grease; secondly, water-based degreasers act through emulsification processes, which loosen and remove the adhered dirt.
Both degreasers can remove very ingrained grease from various surfaces, machinery or walls, thanks to the different chemical components in their formula.
As we explain at this link, the most common uses of industrial degreasers are: for degreasing metal parts, for cleaning mechanical elements or textile machinery, and for degreasing engines, among others.
It is also worth mentioning that industrial degreasers are only recommended for industrial environments and not for domestic ones, for several reasons: the aggressiveness of the formula is not advisable in the home; they are not necessary at home because the grease and oil will not be so deeply ingrained; and because they could damage the surfaces onto which the grease may have fallen.
