Professional-grade alkaline degreaser suitable for heavy-duty automotive and industrial cleaning applications
Key Chemistry
pH Level
12.0
Active Mechanism
alkaline saponification
Surfactants
1 (nonionic)
Expert Analysis
This is a traditional alkaline degreaser formulation utilizing sodium hydroxide and sodium metasilicate to create a high-pH environment that saponifies greases and oils. The ethoxylated alcohol surfactant provides wetting and emulsification properties while EDTA chelates metal ions that could interfere with cleaning performance.
Key Differentiators
- •Strong alkaline formula for heavy-duty degreasing
- •EDTA chelation for hard water performance
- •Citrus fragrance for pleasant odor profile
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Highly corrosive - requires full PPE including gloves and eye protection
- ⚠Not suitable for aluminum or other acid-sensitive metals
- ⚠Requires careful neutralization during cleanup
