Today, a variety of alkaline/detergents, emulsion cleaners and hydrocarbon substitutes can replace
chlorinated solvents and CFC-113 vapor degreasing. Alkaline solutions and detergents can be
used for general degreasing while hydrocarbons and solvent emulsions can be used for heavier soils
such as oils, tars and greases. Even terpene (orange oil) and water emulsions can substitute for
CFC-113 cleaning.
