Degreasing

Degreasing is the removal of grease and oil from a surface. It is widely used to remove oils and oil-borne soils from objects that have been stamped, machined, welded, die-cast, etc.

Degreasing cleans almost all electronic assemblies, electrical components and almost all metals, and nearly any size or shape part can be cleaned.

Degreasing is an essential part of the production process, particularly in industries fabricating or assembling metal parts, such as aircraft, appliances, automotive, electronics and railroad.

Degreasing is also known as defatting or fat trimming.

Degreasing is a process for removing water-insoluble substances such as:

• Grease
• Fats
• Oils
• Waxes
• Carbon deposits
• Fluxes
• Tars
