Soybean Oil (100% Concentration)—Degreasers with soybean oil are an economical alternative to degreasers with citrus oil. They leave a coating that helps prevent rust and are also nonflammable.

Citrus Scent—Degreasers with a citrus scent contain citrus oil to dissolve adhesives, tars, and waxes. They are nonflammable and free of harmful vapors. Rinse parts and wipe them clean after degreasing.

Outdoor Oil Spill Cleaners

Image of Product. Front orientation. Oil Spill Cleaners.

Remove oil and fuel spills from asphalt, soil, and other outdoor areas. Unlike sorbents, which absorb spills from the surface, these cleaners bind with oil to form a mixture that can be diluted or rinsed away. They limit the risk that spills will catch fire or release harmful vapors. These noncorrosive cleaners can also be used to clean oil and fuel tanks.

Floor Sweeping Compounds


Box	Drum

Sprinkle these compounds over floors before sweeping to absorb dirt and dust.

Petroleum Base—Petroleum-based compounds contain wood fiber and oil. They absorb dirt and dust more effectively than water- and wax-based compounds. Compounds in the 100-lb. box and 250-lb. drum contain sand, which is mildly abrasive to help clean. Compounds in the 150-lb. drum are nonabrasive and leave a shine on finished floors.

Water Base—Water-based compounds contain wood fiber with water and sand. They are mildly abrasive to help clean. Often used in food-processing environments, they don’t leave a residue.

Wax Base—Wax-based compounds contain wood fiber and wax. They absorb dirt and dust more effectively than water-based compounds. They are also nonabrasive and leave the brightest shine on finished floors.

Cannot Be Sold To—Compounds that cannot be sold to the regions listed are restricted by local chemical regulations.
