Decoction degreasing

Boil-off degreasing is a surface technology that is used to clean workpieces in order to remove grease, oil and other organic contaminants. The components are treated in a heated cleaning bath consisting of water and special cleaning additives. Cleaning is carried out using a combination of heat, chemical agents and sometimes mechanical agitation to ensure thorough removal of residues.

Typically, boil-off degreasing is used in the metalworking industry, in the production of precision components and in the preparation of workpieces for coating or painting processes. The process is particularly effective in removing water-soluble and hydrophobic contaminants, as the increased temperatures significantly increase the cleaning effect.

One advantage of boil-off degreasing is the ability to treat large quantities of workpieces simultaneously, making it an economical solution for industrial applications. After treatment, it is important to rinse and dry the parts thoroughly to remove residues of cleaning agents that could affect the quality of subsequent processing steps.
