Abrasive Cleaner
|
|
The cleaner contains abrasive particles that mechanically enhance the cleaning process.
|
| |
Bioremediation System
|
|
A bioremediation system or cleaner contains active microorganisms as well as surfactants. Bioremediation is a natural, green cleaning process, which uses microorganisms to convert oil, grease or other organic waste in contaminated cleaning process water into environmentally harmless by-products. The surfactant constituents in the bioremediation cleaning system clean the parts, while the microorganisms or enzymes from the microbes digest and break down the removed oil or grease in the washing solution into benign water and carbon dioxide molecules. ATCC Class 1 microbes are chosen, which are harmless to humans. Specific microrganisms are chosen depending on the type of organic waste or contaminants to be broken down.
Strongly caustic or high alkaline aqueous cleaners can be effective in removing grease and oil from parts, but these cleaners are very corrosive and special care must be taken to protect workers and equipment. Solvent based cleaners are very effective in degreasing, but solvents can have low flash points and can require environmental permitting. Special care must be taken to protect against sparks or opens flame that could cause a fire or explosion of the solvent vapors. Permits may require measures are taken to recover or minimize the released fugitive solvent vapors. A bioremediation cleaner provide several safety and environmental benefits over solvent or aqueous based systems such as noVOCs to contain, non-flammable cleaning solution, pH neutral and non-WHMIS controlled.

The U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) defines combustible liquid as any liquid having a flash point at or above 100 deg. F. (37.8 deg. C.). Combustible liquids shall be divided into two classes as follows:
Class II liquids include those with flashpoints at or above 100 deg. F. (37.8 deg. C.) and below 140 deg. F. (60 deg. C.), except any mixture having components with flashpoints of 200 deg. F. (93.3 deg. C.) or higher, the volume of which make up 99 percent or more of the total volume of the mixture.
|
| |
Over 140°F / None
