Industrial degreasers

Definition of Industrial Degreasers

Industrial degreasing solvents are heavy-duty cleaners that can be used to remove dirt, oil, grease, and other contaminants from surfaces. Generally, industrial degreasers are employed when mixed soil has accumulated on a surface. Mixed soil consists of a mix of organic soil (soil that originates from living matter, such as grease, fat, and oil) and inorganic soil (soil that originates from non-living matter, such as minerals and rust). These mixtures of contaminants can be quite challenging to remove, and thus require a high-quality industrial degreaser.  

What Can Industrial Degreasers Be Used On?  

There are a wide variety of surfaces that industrial degreasing solvents can be utilized to clean, such as: 

  • Metal parts 
  • Floors 
  • Walls 
  • Countertops 
  • Whitewall tires 
  • Automobiles 
  • Trailers  
  • Mobile homes 
  • Dumpsters 
  • Off-road equipment 
  • Fryers 
  • Ovens

Always read the label of your industrial degreaser before using it on a particular surface, as some industrial degreasers may not be safe for certain materials.   

Applying Industrial Degreasing Solvents 

There are a few ways that industrial degreasers can be applied to surfaces. Two of the main methods are:  

  • Spraying/Brushing: For objects that are not extremely dirty, but are still contaminated enough to use an industrial degreaser, spraying or brushing may be the best application method. In this method, the degreaser is simply applied using a sprayer or a brush.
  • Immersion: If a surface is more heavily soiled, then immersion may be the best application method. The object to be cleaned is completely submerged in a large container of the industrial degreaser, and often agitated to remove any stubborn dirt and grime.
