Safer Kerosene Alternative for Process Fluid Removal

Challenge

A global manufacturer of doorknobs and locks was looking for an alternative to kerosene as oil remover for their products since kerosene causes several problems such as:

  • Health hazard for their workers from the inhalation of kerosene fumes
  • Fire hazard especially during heat treatment of products where smoke is visibly emitted
  • Dull and stained appearance of the doorknobs after the heat treatment requiring additional reworking process

Our Solution

Lubrication experts from Resource One recommended the use of LubeRite PureClean A, a paraffinic solvent cleaner that is less harmful and more environmentally friendly than kerosene. The product has low odor, ensuring good worker comfort; ozone-friendly, free from benzene or aromatic solvents.

Impact

The company successfully replaced kerosene as their process fluid remover and was able to:

  • Eliminate health hazard from the inhalation of kerosene
  • Prevent risk of fire due to the wider operating temperature range of cleaner compared to kerosene; eliminate smoke emission during heat treatment
  • Remove the need for reworking dull and stained products after heat treatment – increasing production by 20%

Product Information

LubeRite Pure Clean A is a premium solvent cleaner particularly designed as a more environmentally friendly and less harmful replacement for pure Halogenated and Chlorinated Cleaners.
