Oil Removal
Oil removal enhances mechanical reliability by preventing buildup in automotive engines, protecting metals and alloys from corrosion in aerospace components, and ensuring the sterility of medical equipment for safe and efficient operations across these industries.
Each oil has properties that characterize it. Each oil removal process must therefore take into account the particularity of each of the oils to be removed. Whole, soluble, additive oils require adequate knowledge and methodology to achieve an oil removal that is consistent with the required level.
It’s obvious that the part to clean cannot be damaged, not even on a microscopic level, so when using a detergent, compatibility with metals & alloys is something to pay attention to. On the other hand, when performing oil removal with solvents, certain plastics may not be compatible. A temporary protection against corrosion between production steps could also be required.
INVENTEC has cleaning formulations with a corrosion inhibitor included, avoiding an extra step in your oil removal process. Faced with all these constraints, INVENTEC has developed several products to provide an adequate solution, suited to your desired oil removal process.
