A degreasing agent is a chemical substance used to remove grease, oil, and other contaminants from surfaces. These agents are commonly used in various industries, including automotive, manufacturing, and food processing, to ensure cleanliness and proper functioning of equipment. They can come in different forms, such as liquids, sprays, or wipes, and are designed to break down and dissolve oily residues. Degreasing agents often contain solvents or surfactants that help lift and wash away dirt and grease. Some popular types include solvent-based degreasers, which use organic solvents, and water-based degreasers, which are more environmentally friendly. Proper use of degreasing agents is essential for safety and effectiveness.
