Key specifications

Choosing the right option

For cleaning around food production or packaging equipment see the separate CRC product CRC Food Grade Bio Degreaser. For a solvent-based aerosol degreaser see CRC Aerosol Natural Degreaser Naturally Formulated Non-Corrosive 400g.

Using it

Soak, pre-wash or apply directly to a pre-tested surface. Allow the product to penetrate the soil, then wipe or rinse clean with water or a damp sponge. For heavily soiled items, remove excess debris with a scraper or wire brush first.

Dilution: full strength for very heavy grease, oil, sludge, grime, tyre marks and tools; 10:1 for general degreasing of relatively heavy soiling; 20:1 for hard surface cleaning to remove hand prints and light grease.

Storage and handling

Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, away from incompatible substances and foodstuffs. Keep containers labelled, protected from physical damage and sealed when not in use.

Limits and safety

It may cause irritation to the eyes and skin. The pH is 7.5 to 8.0, so it is slightly alkaline rather than neutral. Test on a pre-tested surface before use. Read the safety data sheet before use.

It is not classified as hazardous, but it may cause irritation to the eyes and skin.
