Beginning the process of substituting the chemical cleaners your industrial businesses currently has in place that might be harmful to people and to the environment with less hazardous, eco friendly, green alternative chemical compound solutions is one of the most effective ways of reducing, and hopefully eliminating exposure toxicities that pose health threats. A potential chemical hazard includes any chemical, compound, solution, and / or agent that possesses the ability or a property that could cause an adverse health effect or harm to a person under certain conditions. Risking the probability or chance that exposure to a chemical hazard could lead to harm onto a person and / or the environment is a danger that no industrial business can afford.
While occupational hygiene methods for controlling employee exposure to chemicals, such as isolation, enclosure, exhaust ventilation, process or equipment modification, impeccable keeping of a clean facility, enhanced administrative controls, and personal protective equipment are all fine and dandy, substituting a hazardous chemical cleaner for a safe cleaning solution is the preferred and optimal method for guaranteeing safety. While all of the recently mentioned methods reduce, in some manner, the risk of injury or harm by interrupting the path of exposure between the hazardous material and the worker, substitution utterly removes the hazard at the source.
Extreme care must be administered to ensure the current hazard is not exchanged for a new hazard, especially a new hazard that poses a more serious threat. Therefore, before deciding to replace your industrial company’s currently used chemical solvent, you must know if there are any risks involved with the chemical solution to the employees and the environment. If the newly posed risks are deemed as serious, then other alternative cleaning agents should be considered, and its risks must also be thoroughly understood.
The selection of a substitute chemical cleaner can become a complex process. For larger industrial businesses, the selection process for a new chemical cleaner may involve a committee, with representatives from several departments, including engineering, purchasing, research and development, environmental control, waste management, and shipping along with the supervisors and laborers who will work directly with the chemical agent. The following lists the considerations when determining the suitability of a substitute chemical cleaner:
Effectiveness – Can the new chemical cleaner satisfy the technical requirements, such as solubility and drying time, for the job or process?
Compatibility – The substitute chemical cleaner must not interfere or negatively react with the cleaning process, the other materials in use, or the equipment that facilitates the cleaning.
Existing Control Measures – Will the existing control methods adequately control the substitute chemical cleaner?
Waste Disposal – Will the new waste coming from the substitute chemical cleaner interfere with the current waste disposal system, or, in any way, adversely affect the technical and regulatory requirements when dealing with any and all created waste?
Hazard Assessment – A hazard assessment needs to be conducted to decide whether the substitute chemical cleaner in question can mesh with all cleaning operations with which it will participate.
Solvents & Vapor Degreasers
/in Solvents, Vapor Degreasing/by Industrial DegreasersVapor degreasers are a kind of surface finishing solvent, whose chemical components can alter the surface of a manufactured product or material, which allows for the manipulation of certain properties of a product, if that is what is desired. In some instances, industrial components must be cleaned in this manner so that the components are ready for its intended operation. The vapor degreaser functions in vapor form, as is obvious, since it is called “vapor degreaser.” The theory behind the process of vapor degreasing is that the chemical compounds that form the makeup in the vapor degreaser will dissolve all types of potentially invasive particles and contaminants located on the industrial products. The vapor degreaser effectively removes these operational inhibitors by literally dripping the particles and contaminants off the industrial parts.
Vapor degreasing steps are performed as follows: The user will set up a solvent basin, combined with a heating coil, used to boil the solvent. The solvent will eventually evaporate, and the vapor will waft into the chamber set in place to capture the vapor so it can work itself onto the industrial component. Essentially, the vapor degreasing solvent will be trapped in a closed off space where the industrial component is located. The condensed vapor degreasing solvent will encapsulate the industrial part, then commence dissolving any dirt, grime, rust, oil, grease, and all other particles and contaminants on the industrial part. The impurities located on the industrial part will eventually come off, and become contained within the liquid beads formed from the vapor degreaser. Finally, the beads formed from the liquid degreasing solvent will run down the industrial part, and simply fall off, like spilt water dripping off a table.
Most recently, several industrial cleaning companies that offer vapor degreasing services have developed supplemental cleaning systems and methods to the vapor degreasing process that make the service more economically feasible. The process involves capturing and reclaiming the degreasing solvent when it drips off the industrial part being cleaned, so that it can be used again. Other adaptations put forth to enhance the method of vapor degreasing have been issued, including the use of several tanks to improve and speed the rinsing of solvents. One such adaptation includes the use of a degreasing solvent spray that coats the industrial component before it enters into the chamber, so that tougher particles and contaminants that are attached to the industrial component are loosened in hopes of hastening the entire degreasing process, and to help efficiently clean complex industrial products better than usual.
One of the most important qualities of vapor degreasing solvents is that this cleaning method can be used on electronic devices in order to remove non-water soluble particles. Water as a standalone cleaning option on electronic devices could disrupt and / or break electronic devices, and therefore, should never be used. Most electronic devices are fragile, expensive, and difficult to replace. Therefore, the only safe method of cleaning electronic devices is with a vapor degreasing solvent.

What is Precision Cleaning?
/in Precision Cleaning/by Industrial DegreasersObviously, the idea behind performing precision cleaning involves a tedious and meticulous process due to the type of mechanical and electronically parts involved in the cleaning process. Because almost every kind of mechanical and electronical components are fragile, unique, expensive, highly sensitive, and difficult to replace, you can imagine how careful the person or company involved in cleaning the part must be to make sure the devices are not corrupted in any way. This is why it is strongly encouraged, and highly recommended by this blog post that industrial and/or tech companies that need this type of cleaning seek out professional assistance when conducting precision cleaning. Companies exist that provide precision cleaning, and guarantee to thoroughly clean your mechanical and / or electronical products precisely, with no wear and tear placed on any of the items. This is enormously beneficial for any industrial organizations that need this type of service because, although you are paying for a cleaning service, the service itself is not expensive. In addition, if you hire a reputable precision cleaning company, that company will take full responsibility for any mechanical and/or electronical parts that become damaged during the process, and will immediately refund and replace the part with a new one. This is a much better idea than implementing a precision cleaning system in house, which will cost money, and then devote the necessary time and valuable resources and labor toward the precision cleaning process. Moreover, if one of your employees breaks or damages the mechanical and/or electronical device, it is your company’s responsibility to replace the product.
What’s more, a precision cleaning company also offers precision cleaners that can be reclaimed and recycled, meaning you won’t have to worry about affording a new precision cleaning system every time your industrial business needs the service. This will save your business a lot of money, making it that much more affordable and opportunistic, when you compare hiring a specialized business to perform the procedure versus putting in an in-house system, instructing employees and the how-to, and purchasing all the necessary components yourself.
