This technical and economic assessment evaluated the effectiveness of a biodegradable, coconut oil-based degreaser called Graff-Off?.

In immersion (cold) cleaning and rinse tests, Graff-Off? was compared to a conventional chlorinated solvent 1,1,1 trichloroethane (TCA) and to an alkaline cleaner Aeroclean DN-30 (DN-30).

The cleaning process for Graff-Off? and TCA was at room temperature and that of DN-30 was at 71C. Both alternatives were found to be technically superior to TCA.

Both alternative degreasers had lower cleaner costs and allowed a...
