High solvency
Targets heavy oils, lubricants, waxy films, and certain polymerized residues (application dependent).
Product Industrial Cleaning
Chlorinated Solvent Degreaser (Controlled Use)
High-solvency chlorinated degreasing options for difficult residues—supplied for controlled industrial use only, where local regulations and EHS controls permit.
Supply: controlled-use lanes (eligibility & destination dependent)
Packaging: drums / IBC / bulk (as applicable)
Documentation: SDS / COA / TDS on request
Commercial & compliance note
Chlorinated solvents may be restricted or controlled in many jurisdictions and sectors. We supply only for legitimate industrial use where permitted, and we may request information about your application, site controls, and destination requirements before issuing an offer. Always follow applicable regulations and the SDS.
- Offer aligned to your process method (contained/closed equipment preferred)
- Documentation package for EHS and qualification
- Repeat procurement support for stable operations
Product overview
Chlorinated solvent degreasers are selected when operators need strong solvency on oils, greases, waxes, and stubborn process residues, and when fast drying and low residue are important. These products are often integrated into contained/controlled processes to meet safety, exposure, and emissions requirements.
Low residue finish
Often chosen where a clean, dry surface is needed before coating, bonding, plating, or assembly.
Process fit
Suitable for contained cleaning steps with engineered controls (equipment and compliance dependent).
Where it typically fits in a cleaning program
Many sites use aqueous alkaline cleaning as the primary method and reserve controlled-use solvents for the most difficult soils, precision parts, or time-critical operations. If you share your soil type, part geometry, and throughput needs, we’ll recommend the best-fit lane (including lower-hazard alternatives when feasible).
- Pre-coating / pre-bond cleaning where water carryover is undesirable
- Precision parts with tight tolerances and complex geometry (process dependent)
- Maintenance cleaning where rapid turnaround is critical
Applications
Typical usage patterns depend on local regulations, equipment, and EHS controls. We prioritize contained processes and qualified industrial operations.
- Precision degreasing of metal parts and assemblies (process dependent)
- Surface preparation prior to coating, bonding, plating, or assembly (qualification dependent)
- Removal of heavy oils/greases and wax-like protective films
- Maintenance degreasing where rapid dry-off is required (controlled use)
Residues commonly targeted
Degreasing performance is driven by solvent choice and process conditions. Provide your residue type and any constraints (odor, dry time, residue tolerance, downstream steps) so we can align the best fit.
- Machining oils, cutting fluids (oil-rich), greases, lubricants
- Waxy corrosion inhibitors and temporary protective coatings
- Certain adhesive residues (application dependent; test recommended)
Typical specifications & formats
Values depend on grade and customer requirements. Confirm details on quotation and supplied documentation. Composition and regulatory status vary by destination and application.
Product type
Chlorinated solvent degreaser (controlled use; composition varies by lane)
Cleaning profile
High solvency on oils/greases; low residue finish (application dependent)
Dry-off behavior
Often selected for rapid drying; confirm evaporation/dry time on offer
Material compatibility
Depends on substrate and elastomers; compatibility review and testing recommended
Packaging
Drums, IBC, bulk (as applicable)
Documentation
SDS / COA / TDS on request (plus compliance docs as required)
Qualification checklist (recommended)
Controlled-use solvents should be qualified with your EHS and process stakeholders before procurement. Share your target requirements and we’ll align the most appropriate supply lane (or propose alternatives).
- Process method, equipment type, and ventilation/containment controls
- Substrate list (metals, coatings, plastics) + elastomers (seals/hoses)
- Residue acceptance criteria (no film, no odor carryover, no corrosion)
- Local compliance: restricted substances, VOC rules, permits, waste handling
- Documentation package needed for audits (SDS/COA/TDS, transport classification)
Specifications may vary depending on batch, origin, and packaging selection. Offer + SDS/COA/TDS are controlling documents.
Alternatives & program optimization
Many facilities reduce solvent consumption by combining primary aqueous cleaning with targeted solvent steps, or by switching to non-chlorinated or semi-aqueous options depending on residue, throughput, and compliance needs. If you want, we can propose a “best available option” comparison within your constraints.
Aqueous alkaline cleaning
Often best for bulk soil removal and cost control; may require drying and wastewater management.
Non-chlorinated solvents
Options vary by solvency, flammability, and VOC profile; selection depends on site controls.
Semi-aqueous processes
Solvent + rinse systems can balance performance and compliance depending on equipment design.
How we support buyers
We focus on procurement readiness: clear specs, aligned packaging, and documentation for qualification and reorders. For controlled-use chemicals, we also emphasize compliance alignment and safe logistics.
- Lane selection based on use case and destination constraints
- Documentation for audits (SDS/COA/TDS) and transport handling
- Packaging fit for your facility’s transfer and storage practices
