General description

Ecosol 60 is a extremely user friendly cleaner and degreaser. Safe in use due to the very low aromatic content. The product is developed to remove all types of pollution such as oil, grease, light bitumen, resin etc.

Product application

Ecosol 60 is used to clean and degrease:

• Engines, machinery and tools
• Chains and bearings
  
• Filters
  
• Electrical equipment
• Paint-sprayer installations
• Oils and fats

The solution

Ecosol 60 is a safe and effective solution for daily degreasing problems. Many parts or apparatus may not be degreased by alkaline water soluble cleansing products. For this, Ecosol 60 is the safe alternative.

Product advantages

• Ecosol 60 has a very high flash point: >60°C
• Ecosol 60 has a very low aromatic level, max 0,03%
• Ecosol 60 has a fresh fragrance and is pleasant to use
• Ecosol 60 does not spread harmful vapours
• Ecosol 60 does not contain chloral hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, 1.1.1 trichloroethylene etc..
• Ecosol 60 does not leave any residue behind and is not conductible.
  
• Ecosol 60 does not contain an emulsifier. Therefore it does not cause a stable connection between water, cleanser and pollution. As a result, Ecosol 60 can be drained via an oil-water separator without any problem.

Remarks

Do not spray in an open fire and keep away from ignition sources. Ecosol 60 may not be used in damp degreasing installations.

Use instructions

Natusol should be used neat. Natusol can be applied by spraying (preferably blasting), cloth, brush or dipping method.

• Spraying: spray Natusol directly on the object to be cleaned. Let the product act for some time, then wipe with a cloth or rinse with water or air pressure.
• Immersion: immerse the object in Natusol. Allow the product to work for some time. Then let the object drain and rinse with water or blow dry with air pressure.
• Drying by cloth, air circulation, air pressure or natural drying.

Because of their aromatic free formulations, these products are safe to use and odourless and therefore lack the unpleasant smell of traditional products.

Why Choose Eco-Point Grease Removers

Danger to Health & Environment

There are many problems associated with the removal of Grease. These problems occur in many industries e.g.  Paint, Construction, Chemical, Woodworking, Furniture manufacture, Ship and Yacht Construction, Interior Construction etc.

The solvents in traditional grease removers contain white spirit and due to the rapid evaporation of solvents, especially in case of insufficient ventilation, create a harmful working environment which is damaging to health.

Eco-Point's solutions you can safely remove all types of grease

• Removal of grease from engines and chains
• Removal of grease from tools and bearings
• Removal of grease from Filters
• Removal of grease from Electrical equipment

Degreasing Methods

Degreasing tray

Degreasing can be done manually or in a degreasing tray. There are even fully automatic systems available that run a washing program via a pre-set temperature and timer to break down the oils and fats.

Degreasing with benzene and volatile solvents such as thinners

The name 'white spirit' indicates that it can also be used for washing. It is a solvent with substances that are very harmful to the environment. It is flammable and working with benzene can cause health problems. The product is harmful by prolonged contact and by inhalation. During and after use it is therefore recommended to ventilate well, to watch out for fire and to ensure that there are no sparks in the area. This also applies to other volatile solvents such as thinners.

Remove oil and grease

In the automotive and metal industry, heavier contaminants, such as oil and grease, regularly occur. A cleaning method that can be used is ultrasonic cleaning. Ultrasonic sound waves in combination with a cleaning product create small vacuum bubbles (cavitation) in a liquid. When they implode, energy is released that removes the dirt from submerged pieces. This cleans even the smallest spots. Ultrasonic cleaning is a form of automatic cleaning and therefore an attractive cleaning method.

Degrease stainless steel

Stainless steel is a durable material and is used in a wide variety of household and industrial applications. The chrome layer on the material ensures that it is resistant to rust and scale. The amount of chromium also determines how strong the stainless steel is resistant to this. Stainless steel 304 contains less chromium than stainless steel 316. Stainless steel 304 is the most common and with proper maintenance this layer can offer many years of protection. The protective layer can be weakened and damaged by dirt and other pollutants. It is therefore important to regularly clean stainless steel - especially 304 stainless steel - with safe cleaning agents. Be careful with acidic cleaners; these can attack stainless steel material.

Why degrease?

Aesthetics

Oils, fats and loose dirt give the workplace and the machines an unkempt appearance. Research shows that employees are more productive when they can work in a clean and safe environment.

Economy

It is not only unpleasant to have to tinker with dirty parts, but it is also not convenient. Inspecting clean parts yields better results: all defects and problems are visible on a clean product. Good lubrication means less wear and tear, work interruptions, tool retention and less maintenance. Preventing oil and grease pollution is cost effective and preserves materials.
