DEGREASING AND PARTS CLEANING
The parts cleaning and degreasing products from DST?CHEMICALS are marketed under the name DST?DEGREEZ? and is a documented eco friendly concept. A concept for degreasing and cleaning of all types of metal items from copper and brass to aluminium, steel and cast iron.
The products’ pH varies from slightly acid to neutral and slightly alkaline. As a result, degreasing of all types of metals is possible.
The products are demulsifying which means that the oil is separated from the washing solution and can be removed from the bath using an oil skimmer. This improves bath life and involves fewer stoppages.
The oil is removed efficiently from the metal surface using mechanical action such as spray, brush, ultrasound, etc. This leaves a completely clean surface without oil in the metal pores.
Unlike many other degreasers, DST?DEGREEZ? works at low temperatures, i.e. from 38°C. However, the final degreasing temperature depends on the type of oil and grease/fat, the functionality of the washing plant and the type and shape of the metal item.
The products from DST-CHEMICALS act strongly demulsifying thus achieving extremely long bath lives and outstanding wash results.
● The products have been developed specifically for cleaning this metal. The product will be finally selected following tests at DST-CHEMICALS’ Tech Centre
○ The product and oil/emulsion must be tested further as to the application for this metal. The product will be finally selected following tests at DST-CHEMICALS’ Tech Centre.
