Electrolytic degreasing

Electrolytic degreasing is a method used in industrial processes to remove grease and oil residues from metallic workpieces. This process is based on electrochemical principles and offers an efficient method of removing impurities from surfaces.

During electrolytic degreasing, the workpieces to be treated are immersed in an electrolyte bath. By applying an electric current, a targeted reaction takes place in which grease and oil residues are removed from the surface of the workpiece. These contaminants are dissolved in the form of gases or emulsions and can then be easily removed.

The advantages of this process lie in its effectiveness and the ability to degrease even hard-to-reach areas. Electrolytic degreasing enables the workpieces to be cleaned evenly without compromising their structural integrity.

By precisely controlling process parameters such as current intensity, duration and electrolyte composition, electrolytic degreasing can be adapted to different workpieces and materials. This ensures that the desired cleaning requirements are met and enables a high degree of flexibility in industrial applications.

Electrolytic degreasing is used in various industries, especially in metalworking and electronics manufacturing, to ensure that workpieces are free of grease and oil residues before subsequent processes. This helps to improve the quality and functionality of the end products.
