Vapor Degreasing 101: What Is It? What Are the Benefits?

Vapor degreasing is a powerful, efficient cleaning & degreasing process that in a matter of seconds removes contaminants like machining oils, cutting fluids, waxes, flux, and many more via “solvent cleaning”. Many industries from electronics firms to aerospace companies to metal fabricators use vapor degreasing to precision clean metal and machined parts. Because of the comprehensive and fast cleaning capability combined with no need for rinsing and drying – vapor degreasing is a valuable part of any manufacturing line.
Vapor degreasers utilize non-flammable, non-hazardous solvents that can be recycled and reused for reduced operating costs.
Reliance Specialty Products manufactures turn-key vapor degreasing systems that include our ULTRA equipment, our next generation, non-flammable solvents, training, and support....everything you need to get up and running quickly.

Our ULTRA™ Series Vapor Degreaser Equipment are what we consider to be the "Practical Best" combination of features:
1. NESHAP Compliant Features that minimize worker solvent exposure and enhance solvent containment;
2. Optional Automated Basket Handling Systems - to minimize worker solvent exposure, save on labor costs and provide consistency in the processing of parts;
3. Customization with immersion, vapor, vapor with spray, and ultrasonics;
4. Simple engineering and stoutness of design for durability, field supportability and ease-of-maintenance;
5. Excellent training for engineering design, start-up, shut down, maintenance and good solvent cleaning work practices;
6. Easy to support in the field with accessible heating elements, replaceable ultrasonics, clear Watlow temperature read-outs, sophisticated indicator light system, simple to trouble-shoot electrical systems and updated refrigeration systems using widely available standard refrigerant.
The hallmarks of our Reliance ULTRA™ Vapor Degreasing Equipment line are simplicity, quality and reliability.

Our AeroTron™ vapor degreasing solvent is the next generation non-flammable high performance vapor degreasing, parts cleaning, and cold wipe fluorinated based solvent with improved chemistry over n propyl bromide (nPB) and Trichloroethylene (TCE) for cold wipe and vapor degreasing applications. Similar physical & performance characteristics to nPB & TCE
