AUKE Not Only Manufactures Cleaning Baskets, But Also Has A Good Understanding of Cleaning Agents.

AUKE has been specializing in the design and manufacturing of industrial cleaning baskets for 16 years, dedicating themselves to solving the cleaning and storage issues of parts or components. In order to better address these issues,AUKE must have a clear understanding of the performance of the cleaning machines used by customers and the characteristics of the cleaning agents. In the previous issue, we introduced the relevant knowledge of ultrasonic cleaning machines. In this issue, we will introduce the commonly used cleaning agents in the automotive parts industry and the corresponding cleaning baskets.

Solvent Cleaning Agents Introduction

Solvent-based cleaning agents refer to organic solvents that are insoluble in water and are widely used cleaning agents, showing excellent performance in cleaning different types of metals and oil stains.

The non-aqueous cleaning agents used in precision industrial cleaning mainly include hydrocarbons (petroleum), chlorinated hydrocarbons, fluorinated hydrocarbons, brominated hydrocarbons, alcohols, silicone oils, terpenes, and other organic solvents.

The main indicators for measuring solvents include

KB value (Kauri butanol value),

AP (aniline point),

SP dissolution parameter,

surface tension,

density,

viscosity,

boiling point,

flash point,

exposure concentration,

and other parameters.

A solvent with a high KB value, meaning strong dissolving power, may not necessarily be a good cleaning agent.

To suit industrial cleaning, a solvent-based cleaning agent  must meet the following conditions:

1. Stable chemical performance, not prone to reactions with the objects being cleaned;

2. Low surface tension and viscosity, strong penetration ability;

3. Low boiling point, capable of self-drying;

4. High flash point, not easily flammable;

5. The KB value should not be too high to avoid mixing with the cleaning agent;

6. Low toxicity, safe to use;

7. Non-ODS and low GWP values (global warming potential), environmentally friendly.

Based on the conditions of solvent-based cleaning agents mentioned above, what characteristics must the complementary cleaning baskets have?

* Corrosion-resistant stainless steel material

* Wire mesh or perforated design for quick drying

Why Solvent-based cleaning agents are the best choice in the cleaning industry?

1. Working principle: Solvent-based cleaning agents are solvents that dissolve, separate, and remove contaminants, widely used for removing metal and oil stains. The principle is to utilize the chemical properties of the solvent to react with contaminants, achieving efficient cleaning.

2. Solvent-based metal cleaning agents

Solvent-based metal cleaning agents are a special type of solvent-based cleaning agent specifically used for cleaning metal surfaces. They are commonly used to quickly and effectively remove contaminants from metal surfaces, including oxides, grease, and other residues. Using solvent-based metal cleaning agents can restore the smoothness and texture of metal surfaces, enhancing their long-term performance.

3. Characteristics and benefits of environmentally friendly solvent-based cleaning agents 

Environmentally friendly solvent-based cleaning agents are made with environmentally friendly solvents. Compared to traditional organic solvents, they have the following characteristics and benefits:

- Use renewable solvent components to reduce environmental impact;

- Low toxicity, causing no harm to operators;

- Less corrosive to cleaning baskets and workpiece materials;

- Low volatility, reducing harmful gas emissions.

4. Cleaning effectiveness

Solvent-based cleaning agents excel in removing oil stains. They can effectively break down and dissolve various types of oil stains, including engine oil, lubricating oil, heavy oil, etc. Whether for industrial equipment or automotive components, using solvent-based cleaning agents can easily remove oil stains, maintaining the cleanliness and proper functioning of the devices.

5. Functions and advantages

Advanced solvent-based cleaning agents are an innovative achievement in cleaning technology in recent years, offering stronger cleaning capabilities and more functional advantages:

- Higher dissolving performance, able to handle more severe contamination;

- Faster cleaning speed, improving work efficiency;

- Lower residue, maintaining longer-lasting cleaning effects.

In conclusion, solvent-based cleaning agents are one of the best choices in the cleaning industry. AUKE has specifically designed and developed a variety of complementary cleaning baskets for users of solvent-based cleaning agents, such as wire mesh cleaning baskets, stainless steel perforated baskets. Their excellent load-bearing capacity, environmental friendliness, and auxiliary cleaning functions make them a key tool in the cleaning industry. 

Choosing the right solvent-based cleaning agent and complementary cleaning basket can ensure efficient completion of cleaning work while protecting the safety of equipment and personnel. 

Through continuous research and innovation, stainless steel solvent cleaning baskets will continue to play an important role in the cleaning industry.
