ISP (1-800-622-4423) offers solvent metal cleaners based on NMP that work
very well.  They rinse off with water or IPA.  Talk with the folks at ISP
about your particular application.  Environmental Solvents Corp.
(904-724-1990) is offering inexpensive pneumatic cleaning systems (about
$10K) for solvent wash/IPA rinse.  They also offer kits so you can retrofit
your vapor degreaser to use solvent wash/IPA rinse ($2-4K).  Some folks are
buying a small vacuum still so they can recycle solvents.  If you work with
IPA, you will have to follow procedures for flammable liquids.

For our small proto-type machine shop, we are cleaning mostly aluminum with
an aqueous based cleaner from W. R. Grace (510-568-3427) called Daraclean
282.  The equipment we use is a relatively inexpensive glove box spray parts
washer from ADF (about $5K).  515-332-5400  This process is O.K. but requires
water rinse and drying.  The cleaner/water mix needs monitoring and frequent
adjustments.  The operators are reluctant to use the process for some steels.

         Hello again:
         
         We are looking for alternatives for cleaning metalic parts 
         after machining operations.  Presently, we are degreasing with 
         Genesolve 2004 from Alied Signal.  As you all know, Genesolve, 
         along with all other CFC's and HCFC's, is going away in 
         December.  
         
         We would like to here from people who have experience in using 
         either an alternative solvent or water for cleaning their 
         machined parts.
         
         Thanks,
