Types of Cleaning Compounds

Greystone provides cleaning compounds for machine and frame surfaces, equipment degreasing, fabric, felt and wire cleaning, system boilouts, boiler and piping cleaning, scale control, and deposit removal. Formulations are customized around the specific residue and application, including grease, oil, tar, papermaking stickies, pitch, scale, and other deposits.

Degreasing compounds are used for light to moderate oil and grease soil removal on industrial equipment, paper machines, and machine surfaces. Greystone’s Degreasing formulation is non-solvented, plant-based, biodegradable, and can be combined with heavier alkaline products for specialty greases when the application requires additional cleaning power.

Customized machine surface, fabric, felt, wire, and system cleaning chemistries can target papermaking stickies and pitch. The appropriate formulation depends on where the residue is located and how it affects machine surfaces, fabrics, drainage, permeability, or runnability. Greystone applies a Targeted Science approach to match chemistry to the cleaning challenge.

System cleaning and deposit control chemistries are used for boiler system cleaning, descaling, machine approach piping, heatbox cleaning, and industrial deposit removal. These formulations also support scale control and inhibition. Selection should consider the system, deposit type, equipment materials, operating conditions, and the required cleaning method.

Yes. Greystone’s product information identifies customized formulation as a recurring attribute across its cleaning chemistries. Formulations can be developed around the residue, equipment, system, and cleaning application, including degreasing, machine and frame cleaning, fabric conditioning, system boilouts, piping cleaning, and scale control.

Plant-based cleaning compounds can be suitable for industrial processing when the formulation is matched to the residue and equipment. Greystone identifies plant-based options for machine cleaning, degreasing, fabric and wire care, system cleaning, and deposit control. Product selection should account for the cleaning objective, operator safety, environmental requirements, and process conditions.
