Degreasing

Degreasing is a process for cleaning the surfaces of metal products from water-insoluble substances such as grease, tar, oils, carbon deposits, and waxes.

What does the Metal Degreasing process entail?

In most cases the process is applied to metal products for the recycling industry who are looking to degrease high value non-ferrous scraps for recycling back into the melting supply chain.

For subsequent chemical treatments to be effective they are dependent upon being applied to a clean metal surface, so correct de-greasing is a pre-requisite if further chemical processes are to be effective. Our degreasing facility can handle a variety of products from very heavy pieces, large and small, such as punchings, sheet, plate and strip.
