Vapor degreasing is a surface-cleaning process that involves using solvent vapor to clean oils and other contaminants away from workpieces. This process doesn’t require the use of water or scrubbing and it is ideal for cleaning a variety of metals and non-metals materials like plastic, gold, glass, ceramic, etc. This process is especially effective when cleaning small parts containing deep recesses that are difficult to reach by hand.

 

Vapor degreasers remove grease from parts that are suspended directly above by boiling solvent in a cloud of vapor. When the solvent vapor interfaces with the part, the grease and soils are removed as the condensed solvent runs off the workpiece back into the boil sump. The addition of an immersion sump and ultrasonics can improve the cleaning capabilities of the degreaser.

 

This method of cleaning is ideal for electronic components and parts that might be damaged by immersion in water and is commonly used in fields like aerospace, automotive, medical, aerospace, jewelry, electronics, and other industries where precision cleaning is important.

 

Vapor degreasing has several benefits, some of which include; 

  • Vapor degreasers are vertical, rather than linear in their design.  This gives the operator a wash/rinse/dry parts washer with a much smaller footprint than most aqueous cleaning lines.
  • It does not emit solvent when done with a vacuum degreaser. 
  • Thanks to the use of solvent vapor, it prevents cross-contamination which can be a problem with aqueous parts washers.
  • The use of solvent vapor allows materials to dry quickly without requiring a secondary drying process. 
  • It does not cause water spots or oxidation of parts. 
  • With vapor degreasing, you won’t have to heat water, dry or rinse parts, or treat waste water after cleaning.

For high quality and safe vapor degreasing, the solvent must meet the following properties; 

  • It must be chemically stable and should be non-corrosive.

  • The boiling point should be high enough for easy condensation and low enough to allow for easy distillation.

  • The vapor density should be high compared to the air and have a low diffusion rate into the air to reduce loss.

  • It should be non-flammable, non-reactive, and non-explosive during usage conditions. 
  • It must be in line with air pollution control legislation.
