At Transflow (Scotland) Limited (TSL), we offer high-quality degreasing services as part of our comprehensive cleaning solutions. Whether it’s for delicate pharmaceutical equipment or heavy industrial machinery, we utilize the appropriate degreasing method to ensure that all contaminants are thoroughly removed, setting the stage for successful passivation, pickling/derouging, or other treatments.

Degreasing is the process of removing oils, grease, dirt, and other contaminants from the surface of materials, typically metals, before they undergo further treatment or processing such as pickling or passivation. It is a crucial step in ensuring the success of subsequent operations, such as welding, painting, or chemical cleaning, as any residue left on the surface can interfere with the effectiveness of these processes.

If the metal has oil, grease, or other contaminants, these substances can prevent the acid from making direct contact with the metal surface. This can result in incomplete or uneven cleaning, and the pickling process will be less effective.
