Applied Industrial Degreasers, Alkaline Cleaners, Descalers & Parts Washer Solutions
Applied is an industrial chemical cleaning brand supplying heavy-duty alkaline degreasers, solvent-based cleaners, citrus degreasers, acid descalers, parts washer fluids, vehicle wash compounds, all-purpose detergents, and hygiene products to manufacturing, automotive workshop, mining maintenance, food processing, and facility management operations across Australia.
Industrial environments generate contamination at a scale and chemical complexity that consumer cleaning products cannot address — baked-on engine carbon, coolant-impregnated workshop floors, mineral scale deposits inside heat exchangers and cooling towers, bituminous road film on fleet vehicles, and solvent-sensitive machinery components all require targeted cleaning chemistry matched to the specific soil type and substrate material.
Applied’s product range is formulated specifically for the cleaning loads encountered in Australian industrial and commercial environments, where accumulated heavy-metal greases, mineral scale, hydraulic oil contamination, carbon deposits, and biosecurity requirements present challenges that general-purpose janitorial products cannot meet.
The range spans several distinct chemical families: alkaline cleaners and degreasers for saponifying and suspending petroleum-based soils; citrus and solvent-based degreasers for heavy hydrocarbon and adhesive removal; acid descalers for mineral scale and corrosion product dissolution; water-based parts washer fluids for recirculating machine cleaning systems; and sanitising products for hygiene-critical food, healthcare, and pharmaceutical environments.
The Applied A4480 Take Off alkaline detergent is a cornerstone of heavy industrial cleaning programmes, providing the concentrated alkalinity needed for pressure-washing grease-contaminated plant and equipment without the volatile organic compound profile of solvent alternatives.
The ATOOR Tough Orange citrus degreaser combines strong solvency on hydrocarbon soils with a safer skin and environmental profile than petroleum-based solvent cleaners, making it the preferred choice for workshops with occupational exposure and environmental compliance requirements.
Other key products in the range, include:
- Applied A8413 Parts Washer Degreaser: A water-based parts washer degreaser formulated for recirculating parts washer machines, providing continuous cleaning action on engine components, gearbox parts, hydraulic fittings, and precision machined components without the fire hazard and vapour exposure associated with solvent-based parts washer fluids. The formulation maintains cleaning performance and emulsification capacity over extended sump life in heated recirculating washer systems, reducing the frequency of sump dump and refill required to maintain cleaning standards in production workshop environments.
- Applied Appsolv M17 General Purpose Solvent Degreaser: A general-purpose solvent degreaser for removing oils, greases, adhesives, wax residues, and silicone contamination from metal, plastic, rubber, and composite surfaces in engineering, automotive, and electrical maintenance applications. The solvent formulation provides fast evaporation for residue-free surface preparation before coating, bonding, electrical insulation, or assembly operations where oil film contamination would compromise adhesion, seal integrity, or electrical resistance in the finished joint.
- Applied Citra Scrub Low Foaming Water-Based Cleaner & Degreaser — 15L: A low-foaming water-based cleaner and degreaser for scrubbing machine applications, floor cleaning machines, pressure washer systems, and automated cleaning equipment where high foam generation would obstruct the cleaning equipment’s spray, vacuum, or scrubbing function. The low-foam formulation provides full degreasing and emulsification performance in machine cleaning cycles without foam overflow, equipment blockage, or residue on cleaned floors and work surfaces that would require additional rinsing steps.
- Applied A3120 Bulldog Gold HD Vehicle Wash: A heavy-duty concentrated vehicle wash for fleet trucks, trailers, construction plant, agricultural machinery, and mining equipment with heavy road film, bitumen, mud, diesel contamination, and organic build-up on painted and unpainted surfaces. The Bulldog Gold formulation provides high soil suspension and emulsification for effective vehicle cleaning at pressure washer dilution rates, lifting and removing road grime and hydrocarbon film from large vehicle surfaces in a single pass without the pre-soaking required for lighter-duty vehicle wash products on heavily soiled plant and fleet equipment.
- Applied 2670 Super Descaler Concentrated Formulation — 15L: A concentrated acid-based descaler for removing calcium carbonate scale, iron oxide deposits, rust, limescale, and mineral buildup from heat exchangers, cooling towers, boilers, evaporative coolers, process pipework, and fluid system components in industrial and commercial HVAC and process applications. The concentrated formulation allows variable dilution to match scale severity and material sensitivity, from light maintenance descaling on stainless pipework to heavy deposit removal in severely scaled heat exchange surfaces where mineral accumulation has reduced thermal efficiency and flow capacity.
- Applied A3220 Sunshine All-Purpose Detergent — 15L: A versatile all-purpose detergent for general facility cleaning, including floor mopping, surface wiping, washroom cleaning, locker room maintenance, and equipment exterior cleaning in workshops, warehouses, office amenities, and industrial facilities. The Sunshine formulation provides effective soil removal and surfactant action with a neutral-to-mildly-alkaline pH suitable for regular cleaning of painted and powder-coated surfaces, tiles, vinyl floors, and general hard surfaces without stripping protective finishes or causing chemical damage to sensitive substrates.
- Applied Novirusac Gel Bulk — 25L: A bulk hand sanitising gel for dispensing into wall-mounted or bench-top hand sanitiser stations in food processing facilities, healthcare environments, pharmaceutical operations, and industrial workplaces with hygiene compliance requirements under food safety standards and workplace health codes. The 25L bulk format significantly reduces per-dispense cost compared to cartridge or small-pack formats for high-usage sites with multiple sanitiser station locations across large facilities, production lines, and building entries.
