Vapor residue
In surface technology, the term "vapor residue" refers to residues that may remain after the use of vapor degreasing equipment. These residues arise from the substances that have been removed from the workpieces during the cleaning process, as well as from the cleaning solutions or chemicals that may have been used.
Controlling and minimizing evaporation residues is critical to ensure that the cleaned workpieces are free of any contaminants and can be seamlessly integrated into subsequent machining processes. Residues can affect the quality of the surface coating and lead to unwanted defects or failures.
Various measures can be taken to reduce evaporation residues. These include the selection of suitable cleaning solutions or chemicals that enable the effective removal of soiling without leaving residues. In addition, optimized cleaning parameters such as temperature, pressure and cleaning time can help to minimize the formation of residues. Thoroughly rinsing the cleaned workpieces after the vapor degreasing process can also help to remove excess cleaning solutions or chemicals and prevent the formation of residues. This step is particularly important to ensure that the workpieces are free of any residue and that no unwanted reactions with subsequent coatings or processes occur.
By implementing effective cleaning and rinsing processes, evaporation residues in surface technology can be minimized, resulting in improved quality and durability of the treated workpieces. Careful monitoring and control of the cleaning process is crucial to ensure that all residues are removed and the workpieces meet the required standards.
