Inquire Now Request SampleVapor degreasing is an advanced precision cleaning process that utilizes solvent vapors to efficiently remove oils, grease, and contaminants from critical components. By leveraging distillation and condensation principles, this process ensures high-purity cleaning, rapid drying, and material compatibility without water-related residues or corrosion risks.
As solvent technology advances, optimizing vapor degreaser performance has become essential for cost efficiency and environmental compliance. Maha provides state-of-the-art vapor degreasing equipment, engineered for precise solvent management, minimal emissions, and maximum recovery efficiency. With the right vapor degreasing equipment and solvent, businesses can achieve consistent, high-performance cleaning while maintaining cost-effectiveness and sustainability.

Solvents for Vapor Degreasing
For optimal vapor degreasing, solvents must be non-flammable, non-combustible, non-polar, and non-water-based, ensuring safety, stability, and effective contaminant removal. MEK, Trichlor, and nPB were once the go-to solvents for vapor degreasing, valued for their strong cleaning performance. However, their environmental impact and strict employee exposure limits have made them unsuitable for continued use.
Today, fluorinated solvents offer a superior alternative, delivering high cleaning efficiency while ensuring regulatory compliance, workplace safety, and environmental sustainability. These advanced solvents serve as direct replacements for traditional chlorinated and brominated degreasing agents, including HCFC-225 (AK-225), Trichloroethylene (TCE), N-propyl bromide (nPB), 3M™ Novec™, and Chemours Vertrel™ series.
Here's why you should switch to fluorinated solvents for vapor degreasing:
Direct replacement of HFE or HFC solvents
such as 3M Novec or Chemours Vertel
Safer alternative to n-PB or TCE solvents
Our fluorinated solvents are non-toxic
Higher cleaning power than IPA or Acetone
Due to low surface tension and low viscosity
Improve Cost Effectiveness
Reduce operational cost e.g. energy and waste management
Environmentally Responsible
Our solvents have zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and low Global Warming Potential (GWP)
Safe to use - Non flammable
Our solvents have no flash points, ensuring safe handling and storage
Fast Drying - Short Turnaroud Time
Our solvents have a high evaporation rate compared to traditional solvents
