Heavy Duty Degreasers

More effective than water-based degreasers, these solvent-based degreasers cut through the toughest grease and oils. Product regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.

Degreasers with acetone evaporate quickly without leaving a residue. They are often used to clean bearings and other metal parts.

Degreasers that are NSF registered K1 can be used in non-food-processing areas within food-processing facilities. They have a flip-up straw that’s attached to the nozzle, so it won’t get lost. Raise it for precision dispensing; lower it for storage or to dispense degreaser as a spray.

Degreasers that are NSF registered K2 can be used in food-processing environments.

Degreasers with trans-dichloroethylene are often used in the mining, oil, and gas industries because they are nonflammable and evaporate rather than requiring rinsing.

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.

Degreasers for Removing Carbon Black and Crude Oil

Often used on equipment in the mining, oil, and gas industries, these citrus-based solvents remove carbon black, crude oil, tar, asphalt, and grease. With no flammable or harsh chemicals, they can be rinsed away. They are also NSF registered C1 for use in non-food-processing areas within food-processing facilities. Unlike other solvent-based degreasers, they mix with water so you can dilute them, or you can use them full strength.

Graffiti Removers

Remove graffiti, paint, and varnish from most surfaces.

Wipes remove graffiti in one step. They're abrasive yet nonscratching. However, they may remove or damage gloss coatings.

Removers that cannot be sold to Canada are restricted by local chemical regulations.

Note: Removers in the aerosol can may remove paint and varnish from the original surface. Removers in the spray bottle may remove latex paint from the original surface.

Disinfectant Foggers

Disinfect and deodorize enclosed spaces without coming into contact with potentially harmful chemicals. These broad-spectrum disinfectants kill bacteria and viruses while eliminating unpleasant odors, and the microorganisms that cause them. They’re EPA registered for safety and effectiveness. They don’t contain CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), which are known to deplete the ozone layer.

Press the valve button down and lock it in place to release a continuous spray for fogging rooms in schools, nursing homes, hotels, laboratories, and offices. Make sure to keep these foggers away from heat, sparks, open flames, hot surfaces, and ignition sources. Leave the room and keep it closed for 2 hours while it’s being fogged. After treatment, air out the room for 30 minutes. One 6-oz. can treats a 6,000 cu. ft. space, which equals a 25’ Lg.×24’ Wd.×10’ Ht. room.

Press and release the valve button to use these foggers as intermittent cleaners. They’re good for disinfecting a variety of surfaces, such as counters, handles, lockers, toilets, and showers.
