Degreaser For Engines
- Engine degreasers come in different formulations depending on the type of contaminants (oil, grease, grime) and the level of cleaning required. Here are the main types:
1. Solvent-Based Degreasers (Heavy-Duty)
Fast-acting and powerful – dissolve thick grease, oil, and sludge.
Common solvents: Petroleum distillates, acetone, toluene, xylene.
Best for industrial and automotive shops but require proper ventilation.
Example: Gunk Heavy Duty Engine Degreaser, CRC Lectra-Motive.
2. Water-Based (Biodegradable) Degreasers
Eco-friendly and non-toxic, safe for aluminum and plastics.
Use surfactants and emulsifiers to break down grease.
Slower than solvent-based but safer for regular use.
Example: Simple Green Industrial, Oil Eater, Purple Power. # Degreaser Chemical Manufacturer.
