The 3M HFE announcement complicates your cleaning operations, as both HFC and HFE may now be classified as PFAS. With 3M, the primary HFE manufacturer in the US, ceasing production by 2025, you face three choices:
1. Change your current solvent blend – a risky move with uncertain cleaning effectiveness.For a future-proof solution, choose vacuum degreasing with modified alcohol. It's cost-effective, environmentally responsible, and excels in demanding cleaning tasks. Instead of merely surviving the HFE phase-out, embrace vacuum degreasing to ensure your cleaning operation not only endures but thrives in the evolving landscape.
Conventional vapor degreasers are open-air systems where parts bathe in evaporating solvent from a heated basin below.
Manual degreasers are inefficient stations where operators individually scrub parts in solvent.
Vacuum parts washers are closed-loop systems that prevent emissions and recycle solvent, saving money.
The 3M HFE announcement has triggered a solvent stampede. Big suppliers are hoarding HFE, sending prices skyrocketing. We've seen drums as expensive as $15,000! Feeling the squeeze? We hear you.
That's where modified alcohol and vacuum degreasing come in. Here's why:
For the intricate geometries of medical and aerospace parts, standard cleaning methods simply don't cut it. Blind holes? No problem. Delicate surfaces? Check. Tight tolerances? Conquered. Vacuum degreasing tackles even the most intricate cleaning tasks with its controlled solvent approach, ensuring pristine results without compromise.
Unlike its traditional counterpart, the vapor degreaser, vacuum degreasing boasts a secret weapon: a vacuum-sealed washing chamber. This creates a powerful suction that's like a microscopic tornado, drawing solvent into every nook and cranny, even the tiniest blind hole. Our machines excel in efficiently removing chips from challenging, inaccessible areas.
And for those medical parts destined for human contact, worry not! Our solvent has passed the rigorous ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity test. Titanium, stainless steel, intricate polymers – you name it, vacuum degreasing handles them all with precision and care.
