Product overview
Emulsifying solvent degreasers combine solvency (for rapid soil lift) with emulsifiers (for stable dispersion in rinse water). This enables removal of heavy hydrocarbon contamination without leaving oily residues that interfere with coating, bonding, or assembly.
- Designed for heavy hydrocarbon soils: mineral oils, greases, waxes, cutting fluids, and road film
- Water-rinseable—supports faster throughput and less manual rewashing
- Works across spray / wipe / soak workflows and many parts-washer configurations
- Grades can be aligned to foam limits, odor constraints, and finish quality
Best fit
High soil loads, thick grease layers, and mixed contamination (oil + particulate) where alkaline-only cleaning is slow.
Typical goals
Faster degreasing, cleaner rinse, reduced rework, and stable performance across cycles when managed with proper oil control.
Applications
Usage patterns vary by washer design and finish requirement. We can support both maintenance degreasing and production-cleaning workflows.
- General industrial degreasing (equipment housings, frames, tooling)
- Parts and surface preparation before coating, assembly, or packaging
- Maintenance cleaning for gearboxes, motors, conveyors, floors, and spill response
- Removal of cutting fluids and oily residues after machining operations
- Transport and outdoor film removal (road grime, diesel soot with oil binding)
Industries
Metalworking, general manufacturing, automotive supply chain, maintenance contractors, heavy equipment service, logistics hubs, and facilities management where hydrocarbon contamination is routine.
How it works
The performance advantage comes from combining solvency with controlled emulsification and surface wetting. This supports rapid soil lift while enabling water rinse-off.
Emulsification
Emulsifiers disperse lifted oils into the rinse phase, limiting redeposition and improving final surface cleanliness.
Wetting & rinsability
Surfactant package improves wetting on complex geometries and supports rinsing across varied water hardness and temperatures.
Note: emulsifying systems can load the rinse/wash water with oils. If your process accumulates oils quickly, consider oil separation, skimming, filtration, or a staged cleaning approach (pre-wipe → degrease → rinse).

Values depend on grade and customer requirements. Confirm final parameters on quotation.

Common technical check points
- Material compatibility (metals, coatings, elastomers, plastics)
- Odor and ventilation constraints
- Flash point and transport classification (grade dependent)
- Wastewater handling (emulsified oil management)
Specifications may vary depending on batch, origin, and packaging selection. Always refer to the SDS/TDS for the exact grade supplied.
Compatibility & EHS considerations
Selection depends on your substrate, coatings, elastomers, and downstream process. We can propose grades optimized for performance, rinsability, and handling constraints.
Substrates
Typically used on steel and many industrial alloys. Confirm for aluminum alloys, copper/brass, galvanized surfaces, and painted parts.
Elastomers & plastics
Solvent systems can swell some plastics and rubbers. Validate on seals, gaskets, and housings (NBR/EPDM/Viton, ABS, PC, etc.).
Worker safety
Provide SDS with handling guidance. Ensure ventilation, PPE selection, and safe storage consistent with the supplied grade.
Wastewater note
Because oils are emulsified, separators may require demulsification steps or staged treatment depending on local discharge requirements. Share your constraints and we’ll suggest a more suitable emulsion profile if needed.

FAQ
Common procurement and technical questions for emulsifying solvent degreasers.
Will it leave a film?
When matched correctly and rinsed properly, the emulsifier system reduces oily residues. Final film risk increases with very high soil loading or insufficient rinsing—staged cleaning or oil management can help.
Can it be used in parts washers?
Many grades are suitable for spray or immersion parts washers. Specify foam tolerance, filtration, temperature range, and oil loading so we can align the correct formulation window.
How does it compare to alkaline cleaners?
Solvent-emulsifying systems often outperform alkaline-only cleaners on heavy grease, wax, and thick hydrocarbon films—especially at lower temperatures or when dwell time is limited.
What about wastewater?
Emulsified oils may be harder to separate than free oil. If discharge constraints are tight, we can propose grades with different emulsion behavior or suggest process controls (skimming, demulsification, staged rinsing).
Is it safe on aluminum or painted parts?
Compatibility is grade- and substrate-specific. Always validate on a representative sample. Share alloy type, paint system, dwell time, and temperature for a better match.
What documents are available?
SDS and COA are available on request. Many lanes can provide TDS and additional compliance statements required for vendor onboarding or tender submissions.
