Definitions
- This invention relates to a process for degreasing metal surfaces, especially aluminum and aluminum alloy sur ⁇ faces used in the aerospace industry.
- the aqueous based compositions provided by this invention are capable of giv ⁇ ing results as satisfactory as conventional vapor degreas ⁇ ing in organic solvents for removing fats, oils, waxes, and greases.
- the metal working industry uses numerous mechanical processes such as stamping, cutting, welding, grinding, drawing, machining, and polishing in preparing the very wide variety of metal object manufactured.
- oily lubricants and the like are used, and as a result an undesirable organic residue is left on the surfaces of the metal parts produces. This residue must be removed in most cases before the metal parts are either given protective surface finishes of any type or employed for their ultimately desired use.
- degreasing compositions such as methyl ethyl ke- tone, methylene chloride, and the like, either at ambient temperature, or in more difficult cases, by exposing soiled metal parts to the vapors of constantly refluxing solvents of this type - a method known as vapor degreasing. Because most of the soil to be removed is composed of materials with substantially higher boiling points than the solvents used in vapor degreasing, the use of condensed vapor of the solvents assures that each fresh batch of metal parts to be cleaned will be exposed to relatively pure solvent with high dissolving power.
- degreasing compositions such as methyl ethyl ke- tone, methylene chloride, and the like
- Vapor degreasing is technically effective but econom ⁇ ically and environmentally disadvantageous.
- the solvents are fairly expensive and are pollutants that require costly methods of disposition to satisfy environmental protection laws.
- Elaborate apparatus and processes are needed to re ⁇ claim the dirty compositions for reuse, and the vapors from these solvents are often hazardous to human health.
- many attempts have been made to replace vapor degreasing with aqueous based cleaners, but to date none has been entirely satisfactory, particularly in pre ⁇ paring the aluminum and aluminum alloy surfaces used in the aerospace industry, where the requirement for cleanliness are particularly stringent.
