With the continuous price increase of traditional solvents driven by rising petroleum costs, industries are increasingly seeking solutions that reduce operating expenses while improving environmental impact—without compromising performance.
In this scenario, the combination of:
- DD 4107 enzymatic detergent
- Ultrasonic cleaning technology
emerges as an advanced and sustainable alternative.
This integrated system perfectly embodies the PURMATE – Green Technology philosophy, which promotes cleaner, smarter, and environmentally friendly industrial processes.
🔬 DD 4107: Technical Features and Real‑World Benefits
DD 4107 is a high‑performance enzymatic detergent designed to remove:
- industrial oils
- complex greases and NLGI‑grade greases
- machining emulsions
- multi‑purpose lubricating sprays
- engine oils and graphitized oils
- dried, stubborn residues
Its effectiveness comes from a blend of specialized enzymes capable of breaking down contaminants at the molecular level—something standard detergents struggle to achieve.
Key Technical Characteristics
- Effective at low concentration (2–5%)
- Optimal performance at 40–55°C
- Biodegradable and safe on metals
- Stable, long‑lasting bath
- Low foam and reduced odor
- Compatible with steel, stainless steel, zinc‑coated parts, and metals
A modern detergent for companies wanting to eliminate solvents while maintaining high cleaning standards.
🔊 The Role of Ultrasonics: Cavitation Clearly Visible in the Test
Based on the provided frames, the cleaning process can be clearly described.
✔️ Stage 1 – Bath preparation
The tank is filled with water and DD 4107.
The slightly cloudy appearance of the liquid confirms:
- correct detergent activation
- start of cavitation from the ultrasonic transducers
✔️ Active cavitation phase
The images show:
- floating debris particles, evidence of dirt being removed
- turbulence patterns, typical of strong cavitation
- dark residuals released from the bolts and suspended in the bath
These visual cues confirm excellent ultrasonic activation and enzymatic action on oily/organic contamination.
✔️ The basket loaded with contaminated bolts
The bolts and screws show coatings such as:
- engine oil
- multi‑purpose lubricants
- complex green/black greases
- dried mechanical residues
These are exactly the types of contaminants that enzymatic + ultrasonic cleaning can successfully tackle.
✔️ Final result
The final frames show bolts:
- clean, shiny, and residue‑free
- free of lubricant films
- with clean threads and no visible staining
- fully restored to a uniform metallic appearance
The dirty bath is the clear proof of transferred contamination.
