EMULSIFIABLE SOLVENT DEGREASANTS: Cleaners of Oil‐soiled Surfaces

Abstract

SOME thousands of tonnes of kerosine, or similar hydrocarbon fraction, and hundreds of tonnes of surface active agents are employed annually in the UK production of emulsifiable solvent degreasants. They are generally employed as “extensive” type cleaners of oil‐soiled surfaces of machinery, vehicles, floors, paintwork and degreasing operations in general. In some applications of metal component production for example, they are used for their relatively “intensive” cleaning ability.
