A ready-to-use alkaline bug remover using 2-butoxyethanol for breaking down protein-based insect residue.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
10.5
Active Mechanism
alkaline saponification
Surfactants
1 (nonionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses 2-butoxyethanol (5-10%) combined with nonionic surfactants at pH 10.5 to break down protein bonds in dried insect matter. The alkaline formulation helps dissolve the protein matrix while the glycol ether provides penetrating power to soften stubborn residues.
Key Differentiators
- •Higher concentration of 2-butoxyethanol (5-10%) compared to typical automotive cleaners
- •Alkaline pH optimized specifically for protein breakdown rather than general cleaning
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Contains 2-butoxyethanol which can cause eye and skin irritation with direct contact
- ⚠pH 10.5 may require thorough rinsing to prevent potential residue on sensitive surfaces
