Frequently Asked Questions
What are common applications for industrial solvents?
Industrial solvents are incredibly versatile and find use in many applications. Common uses include parts cleaning and degreasing, paint thinning, surface preparation before coating, and as reaction solvents in chemical processes. Alliance Chemical offers a wide range of industrial solvents in various grades and packaging options to suit your specific needs.
How do I choose the right degreaser for metal parts?
Choosing the right degreaser depends on the type of contaminants you're removing and the metal being cleaned. Consider factors like the solvent's compatibility with the metal, its flash point, and its cleaning power. Alliance Chemical offers degreasers like d-limonene, mineral spirits, and acetone, each with unique properties for specific cleaning tasks.
What safety precautions should I take when handling industrial chemicals?
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, eye protection, and respirators when handling industrial chemicals. Ensure adequate ventilation and refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific chemical hazards and handling procedures. Alliance Chemical provides SDS documents for all its products to promote safe chemical handling practices.
Which chemicals are commonly used for rust removal?
Several chemicals effectively remove rust, including phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid), and citric acid. The choice depends on the severity of the rust and the material being treated. Alliance Chemical supplies these acids in various concentrations suitable for different rust removal applications.
What is the difference between mineral spirits and paint thinner?
Mineral spirits and paint thinner are both petroleum-based solvents, but mineral spirits is a more refined cut and has a milder odor. Paint thinner is a broader term that can include mineral spirits or other solvents like toluene or xylene. Alliance Chemical offers both options for thinning paints, cleaning brushes, and general purpose degreasing.
How should I store industrial chemicals safely?
Store chemicals in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Follow all local and federal regulations for chemical storage. Alliance Chemical packages its chemicals in containers designed for safe storage and transport. Consult our safety guides for detailed information.
What are the benefits of using d-limonene as a degreaser?
D-limonene is a natural solvent derived from citrus peels, making it a more environmentally friendly degreasing option than many traditional solvents. It has a pleasant citrus odor and is effective at removing grease, oil, and adhesives. Alliance Chemical provides d-limonene in technical and USP grades for a variety of applications.
What are common uses for isopropyl alcohol in industrial settings?
Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is widely used as a cleaning solvent, disinfectant, and drying agent in various industries. It is effective for cleaning electronics, preparing surfaces for painting, and sanitizing equipment. Alliance Chemical provides IPA in 70%, 91%, and 99% concentrations to meet diverse industrial needs.
What grades of acetone are available for industrial use?
Acetone is available in various grades, including technical, ACS reagent, and USP grade, depending on the application's purity requirements. ACS grade is ideal for laboratory use, while technical grade suffices for general cleaning and degreasing. Alliance Chemical offers acetone in multiple grades to meet your specific needs.
How can I safely dispose of used solvents and chemicals?
Proper disposal of used solvents and chemicals is crucial to protecting the environment and human health. Contact a licensed hazardous waste disposal company for guidance on proper disposal methods in your area. Alliance Chemical provides SDS sheets with information on safe handling and disposal, but it's important to adhere to local regulations.
