alkaline-basedready-to-usedanger-labelall-purposegentle-formulaceramic-safe
A ready-to-use alkaline all-purpose cleaner formulated with disodium metasilicate for versatile cleaning across interior and exterior automotive surfaces.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
13.1
Active Mechanism
alkaline saponification
Surfactants
5 (anionic, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
This formulation uses a moderate concentration of disodium metasilicate (0.1-1%) as an alkaline builder to provide effective cleaning power at pH 13.1, while combining anionic and nonionic surfactants for broad spectrum cleaning. The ready-to-use format eliminates dilution guesswork and maintains consistent cleaning performance across different applications.
Key Differentiators
- •Ready-to-use alkaline cleaner with extremely high pH of 13.1 for maximum cleaning power
- •Contains disodium metasilicate as primary alkaline builder for enhanced degreasing capability
- •Dual surfactant system combining anionic and nonionic agents for broad soil removal
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Very high pH of 13.1 may be aggressive for claimed sensitive materials like leather and suede despite marketing claims
- ⚠Ready-to-use format lacks dilution flexibility for lighter cleaning tasks where full strength may be excessive
