POWERFUL AND SAFE AQUEOUS DEGREASERS FOR INDUSTRY G
lobal water, energy and maintenance solutions provider NCH Europe has
launched Aqua-Sol, a range of aqueous water-based degreasers designed for the industrial removal of grease, dirt and soil from machinery, parts and food processing equipment. The range includes versions with pH neutral formulas, foaming aerosols, low foaming liquids for closed systems and the latest surfactant technology, providing an environmentally friendly alternative to solvent-based products. The aqueous, water-based degreasers include Aqua-Sol Neutra Split, Neutra Split Low Foam, Aqua-Sol Power, Aqua-Sol Low Foam, Aqua-Sol Silicate Free and Aqua-Sol Silicate Free aerosol. The Aqua-Sol range is NSF A1 certified,
making it suitable for general cleaning on all surfaces in food processing areas. The water-based formulation is non- flammable, low odour and does not pose any inhalation risks. It contains either zero or very low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), further enhancing user safety and improving storage. "Not all degreasers are designed to
remove the same soils and dirt," explains Peter Crossen, VP of NCH’s Maintenance and Partsmaster Innovation Platform. "When choosing a degreaser it's important that you match your substrate (the surface
you're trying to clean) with a degreaser that includes the right additives and penetrating agents to efficiently remove grease deposits and stubborn dirt." Aqua-Sol Power, the most powerful
THE CLP REGULATION
European Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures came into force 20 January 2009 in all EU Member States including the UK. It is known as the CLP Regulation or CLP. The CLP Regulation adopts the UN Globally Harmonised
System on the classification and labelling of chemicals (GHS) across all EU countries including the UK. As GHS is a voluntary agreement rather than a law it has to be adopted through a suitable national or regional legal mechanism to ensure it becomes legally binding. That’s what the CLP Regulation does. The existing legislation on classification, labelling and
packaging has been agreed at EU level and from 2015 directly applied on all member states including the UK.
Aqua-Sol removes grease, dirt and soil from machinery, parts and food
processing equipment
degreaser in the range, uses the latest surfactant technology to break the bonds in fats and oils, emulsifying the solution so that it can easily be rinsed away. Aqua-Sol Neutra Split uses a 7.3 pH neutral formulation, making it safer for storage and handling. Offered in concentrated form, it can be diluted with water up to 1:500 to provide more economical degreasing. Designed with a formula that separates the oil from the water instead of emulsifying the oils and grease into the solution, it is easier to skim off and remove. "We've developed low foaming versions Aqua-Sol Low Foam and Aqua-Sol Neutra Split LF," says Crossen. "Although foaming is great for vertical surfaces and increased contact time it's not ideal for closed systems; low foam versions are good for enclosed parts washers, ultrasonic baths and automatic floor scrubbing machines." Aqua-Sol complies with all industry
regulations on detergents; VOC storage on site; and new rules on the classification, labeling and packaging (CLP) of chemicals. The range can be specified with special dilution, dosing and spraying equipment.
