Why aqueous cleaning?
Modern, high-speed methods of manufacturing demand consistenly clean components at intermediate stages of production and final assembly. Correct selection of the method, equipment, process and chemicals for cleaning becomes a very important aspect because the overall quality of the product depends on them. Cleaning processes may be genrally divided in two types. 1) Solvent cleaning 2) Aqueous based cleaning Aqueous based cleaning methods have a large number of advantages as compared to their solvent counterparts. Some of the major advantages are listed as: 1) Running costs: The aqueous cleaning systems incur low running costs. Solvents are nearly always more expensive per liter than detergents. The aqueous solutions are cheaper to operate. 2) Flexibility of the system: It can be used as dip type or the spray type, hence, giving the option to the user about the choice of systems. 3) Flexibility of the cleaning solutions: One of the major advantages of aqueous cleaners is that a user can
