Aqueous Cleaning Technology
| Aqueous cleaning is not as user and environmentally friendly as “soap and water.” Yet this technology is the dominant approach to industrial cleaning used by the majority of global users. |

Water is the ideal solvent for water-soluble soils – road salt, some food and beverage products, plating salts, organic compounds rich in hydroxyl groups uch as glycerin, and stable water emulsions such as water-based or latex paints and heat-transfer agents.
But that extensive and significant list of soils are minuscule compared to the depth and variety of soils found in global applications of industrial cleaning. For nearly all oils and greases, water is not the ideal solvent. In fact, it is usually the worst choice of solvents because the common hydrocarbon is not soluble in water.
The basic guidance is that if the oil or grease was derived from crude oil (hydrocarbons), it is not water soluble. If the oil or grease was produced synthetically or is derived from vegetable material, it may be water- soluble. Aqueous cleaning is the technology used to clean oils and greases which are not soluble in water. That’s why it was developed.
