Efficient Oil Removal Solutions for Various Metal Components with Safe and Tailored Performance


Discover advanced oil removal solutions designed for various metal components, offering safe, efficient, and tailored metal cleaning processes to ensure optimal surface quality and production reliability.

Every oil—whether whole, soluble, or enriched with additives—has unique properties that must be considered in any oil removal process. At INVENTEC, we understand that removing oil from various metal components requires a precise approach tailored to the type of contamination, the material of the metal component, and the downstream process requirements.

Choosing the right oil removal method is essential to maintain surface integrity. Whether your application involves delicate alloys or industrial-grade parts, the metal cleaning process must avoid any damage—even at a microscopic level. When using aqueous detergents, it’s vital to ensure full compatibility with metals and alloys. For solvent-based oil removal, special attention must be given to plastics or elastomers that may be present in or around the metal components. Furthermore, in many industrial cases, removing oil efficiently must go hand-in-hand with temporary corrosion protection between processing steps.

INVENTEC offers a full range of oil removal solutions that not only clean thoroughly but also help prevent corrosion. Some of our advanced metal cleaning formulations include built-in corrosion inhibitors—saving you time and avoiding additional process steps.
