Many industries use degreasers to clean machinery and parts as part of regular maintenance, and if you use large volumes of degreasers, you may be wondering how to make degreasers and if it will be worth the time to save the extra money. There are ways to make your own degreasing agents out of products you may already have laying around. One popular recipe for creating homemade degreaser is as follows:

  • 8 cups of white vinegar
  • 7 cups of warm water
  • 1 cup of baking soda

Simply mixing these three ingredients will create a low voc degreasing agent, however if you are looking to use degreasers to clean and degum industrial machinery you are going to want to have a large quantity of strong industrial degreasing agents, that will outperform homemade degreasers like this one.

If you are looking for a degreaser that will get the job done, without breaking the bank you don’t need to learn how to make degreasers. What you need is to partner with a reliable chemical provider that can supply you with bulk quantities of affordable, high quality, degreasing agents like acetone, IPA, or MEK. All of these degreasing agents and so many more are available in bulk quantities  from 5 gallon buckets to 55 gallon drums when you purchase from Ecolink.
