HEAVY DUTY DEGREASER
What is a Heavy Duty Degreaser?
1. Definition and Purpose:
- Heavy-Duty Cleaning: A heavy-duty degreaser is formulated to tackle tough cleaning jobs that regular cleaners cannot handle. It’s used to break down and remove heavy grease deposits, oils, tar, and other hard-to-clean substances.
- Versatility: These degreasers can be applied to a wide range of surfaces including metal, concrete, and machinery, as well as in kitchen environments.
2. Composition:
- Solvent-Based: Many heavy-duty degreasers contain strong solvents that dissolve grease and oils. Common solvents include mineral spirits, toluene, or acetone.
- Water-Based: Some are water-based and use surfactants and emulsifiers to break down and lift grease from surfaces. These are often more environmentally friendly and safer to use.
- Alkaline Components: Alkaline degreasers use high pH ingredients, such as sodium hydroxide, to saponify fats and oils, making them easier to rinse away.
- Surfactants: These are surface-active agents that reduce surface tension, allowing the degreaser to penetrate grease more effectively.
- Additives: Some degreasers include additional ingredients like rust inhibitors, which protect metal surfaces from corrosion.
