Expert Analysis
Uses sodium metasilicate as the primary alkaline cleaning agent at pH 11, providing strong degreasing power for breaking down oils and organic soils. The anionic surfactant system works synergistically with the high alkalinity to emulsify grease and lift dirt from various surfaces. The biodegradable formulation balances cleaning performance with environmental considerations.
Key Differentiators
- •Sodium metasilicate-based chemistry offers superior degreasing compared to typical hydroxide-based cleaners
- •Biodegradable formulation with professional-grade alkalinity
- •Concentrate format allows dilution flexibility from light cleaning to heavy degreasing
