Essentially, both kerosene and hydrocarbon cleaning agents belong to the category of light petroleum products, which are mixtures of hydrocarbons obtained by fractionating petroleum. So based on the principle of similarity and compatibility, both should be able to clean various types of hardware and metal processing parts, but why do people still choose hydrocarbon cleaning agents more than kerosene cleaning agents? Actually, this is because both of them belong to hydrocarbons, but there are still significant differences.

In order to quickly understand the differences between hydrocarbon cleaning agents and kerosene cleaning agents, we will analyze and compare them from nine dimensions: composition, odor, environmental protection, flash point, volatilization speed, waste liquid recovery rate, suitable for cleaning components, cleaning quality, and application industry.

1. Ingredients. The hydrocarbon cleaning agent is composed of normal alkanes, iso alkanes and Cycloalkane; Kerosene cleaning agent consists of Cycloalkane, Aromatic hydrocarbon, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, a small amount of sulfur and nitrogen and additives.

2. Odor. The odor of hydrocarbon cleaning agent is mild; Kerosene cleaning agents have a strong pungent odor.

3. Environmental protection. Hydrocarbon cleaning agents have minimal harm to the body and minimal harm to the environment; Kerosene cleaning agents can easily cause inhalation poisoning and affect the surrounding environment.

4. Flash point. The flash point of hydrocarbon cleaning agent is 18 ° C-70 ° C; The flash point of kerosene cleaning agents is generally greater than 35 ° C.

5. Volatilization rate. The volatilization rate of hydrocarbon cleaning agents is relatively fast; The volatilization rate of kerosene cleaning agent is slow and cannot be completely volatilized.

6. Waste liquid recovery rate. The hydrocarbon cleaning agent can be recycled and reused, with a high recovery rate; Kerosene cleaning agents are generally difficult to recycle.

7. Suitable for cleaning components. Hydrocarbon cleaning agents are suitable for cleaning precision components; Kerosene cleaning agent is suitable for cleaning ordinary workpieces.

8. Cleaning quality. Hydrocarbon cleaning agents can meet high cleaning requirements; The cleaning quality of kerosene cleaning agent is average.

9. Application industry. Kerosene cleaning agents can only meet the cleaning needs of general metal components, but cannot meet the cleaning needs of precision industries such as electronic products, watches, optical equipment, telecommunications, aerospace, and other metal components. Hydrocarbon cleaning agents can achieve the cleaning of precision metal components, and are also suitable for hardware, semiconductors, machinery, molds, powder metallurgy, micro motor motors, hardware bathroom, lighting manufacturing, golf manufacturing, etc Cleaning after processing in industries such as stainless steel manufacturing.

In summary, compared to kerosene cleaning agents, hydrocarbon cleaning agents have stronger cleaning capabilities. For the cleaning of high demand and high-precision metal components, hydrocarbon cleaning agents are undoubtedly a better choice. Therefore, it is precisely because of the many characteristics of hydrocarbon cleaning agents that they are now being applied more and more widely.
