Expert Analysis
Uses 1-Propanol, 2-amino-2-methyl- as the primary active at 1-5% concentration, functioning as both a solvent and alkaline builder at pH 9-11. The water-based formulation aims to dissolve organic contaminants like bugs, tar, and adhesives while avoiding oily residues common in petroleum-based removers. The alkaline pH helps break down protein-based bug residues and soften tar for easier removal.
Key Differentiators
- •Water-based formulation avoids petroleum solvents while maintaining effectiveness on organic contaminants
- •Single product targets three distinct contaminant types (bugs, tar, adhesives) with different chemical properties
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Danger signal word indicates higher safety risks requiring careful handling and PPE
- ⚠Low ingredient transparency with only 4 disclosed components limits formulation understanding
- ⚠Alkaline pH may require surface compatibility testing on sensitive materials
