Is it Time to Replace Your Old Vapor Degreaser?

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) utilizes Dye Penetrants to reveal cracks, fissures and other part defects as a part of the quality process aerospace MRO - Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) teams perform. The dye penetrant needs to be completely removed to ensure complex aerospace parts are properly prepared for aircraft operation.

MRO - Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) teams need effective and efficient cleaning systems to ensure complex aerospace parts are properly cleaned and prepared for aircraft operation. Ultrasonic Vapor Degreasing is the go-to process for fast and complete component cleaning - especially of ball bearings that have seen extensive field use and have been lubricated with bearing grease.

nPB (1-Bromopropane) is an non-flammable solvent cleaner used to effectively remove oils, greases, waxes and flux residues in industrial manufacturing applications - most notably in vapor degreasing and ultrasonic cleaning. In this blog, we will give an overview of n Propyl Bromide as a solvent cleaner and discuss its applications in industrial cleaning. We summarize the basics of nPB: the what, why, where, when, and how of this unique solvent.
