Three Types of Solvents: Oxygenated, Hydrocarbon, and Halogenated

There are literally thousands of types of solvents available for purchase. However, regardless of the brand name or the proprietary formulation of a solvent, it typically falls into one of three categories of cleaning solvents: oxygenated solvents, hydrocarbon solvents, or halogenated solvents. Below, we present a basic overview for each of these types of solvents […]

Reusing Solvents: How is It Done and What Are the Benefits?

Recycling services are in high demand in almost every industry that produces recyclable waste products, including the industrial cleaning industry, which produces a large volume of waste solvent each year, much of which can be recycled with the assistance of a solvent recycler. Recycling solvents removes the impurities they acquire through the cleaning process. What […]

Dielectric Solvent: Considerations for Choosing the Right Solvent

Dielectric solvents contain a dielectric material the prevents electrical current from traveling through the solvent stream back to the solvent container and the worker who holds it. If a solvent doesn’t contain dielectric material, the solvent stream could serve as an electrical conductor that allows the worker to be severely shocked and makes the spray […]

Safe Degreasers for Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

Stainless steel is one of the most prized metallic alloys due to its attractive surface quality and excellent corrosion resistance under normal conditions. Degreasing the lustrous alloy, however, does not count as a “normal condition.” On the contrary, the metal is exposed to a cleaning agent that is not normally a part of its daily […]
