Heavy Duty Degreaser, especially developed for Industrial, Marine, and Engine cleaning applications
Solvent Degreaser – Non-Water Soluble
Product Description
Solvent Degreaser is a high-performance, solvent-based cleaning and degreasing agent specially formulated for the removal of heavy oil, grease, fuel residues, lubricants, sludge, carbon deposits and other hydrocarbon-based contaminants from industrial and marine equipment.
Unlike water-soluble degreasers, this product is non-water soluble and works by dissolving and loosening oil-based contamination directly from the surface. It is particularly suitable where a powerful solvent action is required without introducing water during the initial cleaning operation.
The product can be used for cleaning machinery, engines, mechanical components, tanks, pumps, valves, tools, workshop equipment and other oil-contaminated surfaces, subject to material compatibility.
What is a Heavy Duty Degreaser?
A Heavy Duty Degreaser (like RXSOL DEGREASER HD) is a powerful alkaline or solvent-based cleaner formulated to remove - Grease, Oil, Carbon residues, Fuel and tar deposits, Heavy dirt and grime
Heavy Duty Degreaser is Excellent for removal of oil and grease. Not soluble in water in all proportions. It is a unique formulation blended from inorganic, organic compounds and detergents with powerful dispersing agents and aliphatic petroleum distillates. It is non-corrosive to metal like copper, aluminium, mild steel and plastic. It is non-toxic which makes handling easy.
Ideal for use where chlorinated solvents are undesirable or prohibited.
Application

| Industrial Maintenance | Cleaning oil-contaminated machinery and surfaces |
| Automotive / Heavy Equipment | Removal of grease, lubricants and petroleum residues |
Application & Dosage
Because this is a solvent-based, non-water-soluble product, it is generally applied directly rather than diluted with water.
| Cleaning Condition | Recommended Application |
|---|---|
| Light Oil / Grease | Apply directly or use approximately 1 part product : 1 part compatible solvent/carrier, if permitted by the formulation |
| Medium Contamination | Apply product directly and allow 5–15 minutes contact time |
| Heavy Grease / Sludge | Apply generously and allow 10–30 minutes contact time |
| Very Heavy Deposits | Repeat application and agitate with brush or suitable mechanical action |
| Small Components / Parts | Immerse or wipe with the product, where compatible |
| Spray Cleaning | Apply sufficient product to completely wet the contaminated surface |
| Final Cleaning | Wipe or remove dissolved contamination using suitable absorbent material |

How to Use RXSOL HEAVY DUTY DEGREASER?
Step-by-Step Instructions:
| Contamination Level | Approx. Product Consumption* |
|---|---|
| Light contamination | 50–100 mL/m² |
| Medium contamination | 100–250 mL/m² |
| Heavy contamination | 250–500+ mL/m² |
*Actual consumption depends on the type and thickness of contamination, surface condition, temperature, application method and required cleaning standard.
Recommended Cleaning Procedure
-
Remove loose dirt and bulk contamination where possible.
-
Apply Solvent Degreaser directly to the contaminated surface.
-
Allow sufficient contact time for the solvent to penetrate the oil and grease.
-
Agitate stubborn deposits using a brush, cloth or suitable mechanical method.
-
Wipe or collect the dissolved contamination.
-
Repeat the application if heavy deposits remain.
-
Allow the surface to dry or wipe with a clean, dry cloth as appropriate.
RXSOL HEAVY DUTY DEGREASER Application Methods:
Spray, brush, or mop directly onto the greasy surface, Can also be applied using a foam gun or pressure washer
Soaking Time:
Allow the degreaser to sit for 5–15 minutes
For thick grease or carbon, give it more dwell time but don’t let it dry
Agitate (Optional):
Scrub with a brush for stubborn areas to enhance effectiveness
Rinse:
Rinse thoroughly with high-pressure water (freshwater or hot water for best results)
Depending upon contamination 2-25% with fresh water.
It is an extremely versatile heavy duty cleaner suitable for use in soak tanks, high pressure washers, Automated Scrubbing machines and for manual use.
