Neutral degreasing

Neutral degreasing is a key process in industrial cleaning that aims to remove grease, oil and other organic contaminants from surfaces without significantly altering the pH balance. In contrast to acidic or alkaline cleaners, which have specific applications, neutral degreasing is characterized by its balanced pH neutrality.

Neutral degreasing uses special cleaning agents that are formulated to effectively remove grease without damaging the surfaces to be cleaned. These cleaning agents often contain surfactants that emulsify the grease molecules and thus help to remove them from the surfaces.

A key advantage of neutral degreasing is that it can be used on a wide range of materials without affecting the structural integrity or surface coatings. This makes it particularly suitable for sensitive materials such as aluminum, plastics or painted surfaces.

Neutral degreasing is regularly used in various industries, including metalworking, electronics manufacturing and the food industry. Especially before subsequent processes such as painting, coating or bonding, thorough neutral degreasing is crucial to ensure optimum adhesion and quality of the subsequent layers. The careful application of neutral degreasing not only helps to ensure the cleanliness of surfaces, but also to improve the efficiency and quality of subsequent production or processing steps.
