Sustainable Solution

Eco-Point Bio Degreaser is a powerful degreaser that can be used at locations where water is allowed and can be used to solve the problems described above, which results in a clean, safe and pleasant working environment. This VOC-free cleaner & degreaser lives up to the term: Safe&Save; the product is free from CLP labelling and non-hazardous to use, transport and store.

Areas of Application

• Cleaning machines and floors that are contaminated with oil and grease
• Cleaning tools
• Cleaning drive chains
• Removing greases from bearing and guide tracks
• Degreasing substrates before painting and coating
• Cleaning synthetic materials (e.g. HPL)
• Cleaning workplaces and floors, both mechanically and by hand (spot treatment)

Solution Areas

• Heavy industrial pollution
• Greasy surfaces
• Hazardous solvents
• Residues of mineral, vegetable and animal-based oils

Special advantages

• Unlabelled for use, transport and storage.
• Contains natural components, giving the product a biological basis. The components come from sustainable sources.
• VOC-free!
• A multi-functional product and can therefore replace various other products. Fewer different, often chemical, environmentally hazardous agents therefore need to be kept in stock.
• E.P. Bio Degreaser gives high surface energy and therefore excellent adhesive value in many applications (bonding method).

Product sector overview

Based on naturally occurring raw materials Eco-Point’s range of high performance, environmental and sustainable industrial cleaning and grease removers are effective, economical, and safe to use. These products are for the cleaning and degreasing of contaminated equipment and environments. Ideal as an engine degreaser, chain degreaser, metal degreaser, parts washers.

Because of their aromatic free formulations, these products are safe to use and odourless and therefore lack the unpleasant smell of traditional products.

Why Choose Eco-Point Grease Removers

Danger to Health & Environment

There are many problems associated with the removal of Grease. These problems occur in many industries e.g.  Paint, Construction, Chemical, Woodworking, Furniture manufacture, Ship and Yacht Construction, Interior Construction etc.

The solvents in traditional grease removers contain white spirit and due to the rapid evaporation of solvents, especially in case of insufficient ventilation, create a harmful working environment which is damaging to health.

Eco-Point's solutions you can safely remove all types of grease

• Removal of grease from engines and chains
• Removal of grease from tools and bearings
• Removal of grease from Filters
• Removal of grease from Electrical equipment

Degreasing Methods

Degreasing tray

Degreasing can be done manually or in a degreasing tray. There are even fully automatic systems available that run a washing program via a pre-set temperature and timer to break down the oils and fats.

Degreasing with benzene and volatile solvents such as thinners

The name 'white spirit' indicates that it can also be used for washing. It is a solvent with substances that are very harmful to the environment. It is flammable and working with benzene can cause health problems. The product is harmful by prolonged contact and by inhalation. During and after use it is therefore recommended to ventilate well, to watch out for fire and to ensure that there are no sparks in the area. This also applies to other volatile solvents such as thinners.

Remove oil and grease

In the automotive and metal industry, heavier contaminants, such as oil and grease, regularly occur. A cleaning method that can be used is ultrasonic cleaning. Ultrasonic sound waves in combination with a cleaning product create small vacuum bubbles (cavitation) in a liquid. When they implode, energy is released that removes the dirt from submerged pieces. This cleans even the smallest spots. Ultrasonic cleaning is a form of automatic cleaning and therefore an attractive cleaning method.

Degrease stainless steel

Stainless steel is a durable material and is used in a wide variety of household and industrial applications. The chrome layer on the material ensures that it is resistant to rust and scale. The amount of chromium also determines how strong the stainless steel is resistant to this. Stainless steel 304 contains less chromium than stainless steel 316. Stainless steel 304 is the most common and with proper maintenance this layer can offer many years of protection. The protective layer can be weakened and damaged by dirt and other pollutants. It is therefore important to regularly clean stainless steel - especially 304 stainless steel - with safe cleaning agents. Be careful with acidic cleaners; these can attack stainless steel material.

Why degrease?

Aesthetics

Oils, fats and loose dirt give the workplace and the machines an unkempt appearance. Research shows that employees are more productive when they can work in a clean and safe environment.

Economy

It is not only unpleasant to have to tinker with dirty parts, but it is also not convenient. Inspecting clean parts yields better results: all defects and problems are visible on a clean product. Good lubrication means less wear and tear, work interruptions, tool retention and less maintenance. Preventing oil and grease pollution is cost effective and preserves materials.
