Before & after
Degreasing and dust removal from a painted steel oil filter cover
Initial situation
A canned tuna producer needed to clean painted steel components in their workshop—specifically the cover of an oil filter. The traditional solvent was harsh on equipment, often left residues, and carried an environmental hazard classification (GHS09). Cleaning effectiveness varied depending on usage and contact time, and internal pressure was growing to reduce environmentally damaging substances.
Solution
The company adopted Interflon Degreaser EM30+ (aerosol). This cold‑application degreaser uses dissolves tough greases, oils and adhered dirt, while offering slow but controlled evaporation for deeper cleaning. Importantly, it is food‑grade certified (NSF Class K1/K3), making it suitable for use in food processing zones, and is non‑hazardous for the environment, no GHS09 environmental pictogram on the label.
Results:
- Effective loosening and removal of hardened contaminants after a short dwell time
- No residue after evaporation
- Accurate, powerful spray jet for targeting tight areas
- Food grade approved (NSF K1/K3), non‑hazardous classification
Conclusion
By switching to Interflon Degreaser EM30+, the workshop team achieved more thorough, reliable and safer cleaning performance, with minimal environmental impact. The product’s slow‑evaporating formulation ensures thorough dwell and penetration, suited to heavily encrusted filters, while NSF food‑grade certification makes it compliant for sensitive areas.
