Automotive Specialty – Heavy Duty Alkaline-Solvent Degreaser

ALKEMIST™ Automotive Degreaser: Heavy Duty Alkaline-Solvent Formula

The ALKEMIST™ Automotive Degreaser, proudly manufactured by ALKEMIST™ | Water and Chemicals Solutions (SMC-PVT) LIMITED, is an advanced, dual-action degreaser engineered for the most demanding automotive and industrial applications. By combining the hydrolyzing power of high-grade alkaline builders with the fast-acting solvation of specialized heavy-duty solvents, this unique formulation efficiently attacks, breaks down, and emulsifies baked-on grease, heavy oil, and stubborn carbonized grime.

Key Technical Features & Benefits

• Dual-Action Chemistry: The powerful synergy between alkaline agents (which saponify organic fats and neutralize acidic soils) and heavy-duty solvents (which dissolve petroleum-based oils) ensures rapid and complete soil breakdown.
• Low-Viscosity Profile: Its low-viscosity physical state allows the active chemical blend to deeply penetrate tight crevices, complex geometries, and porous grime layers common in engine blocks and transmissions.
• Broad Application Range: Highly effective for cleaning engines, transmissions, heavy machinery, vehicle chassis, and heavily stained garage floors.
• Optimized Compatibility: Specially formulated to be safe and highly effective on all ferrous metal surfaces, heavy machinery, and mechanic tools when used as directed.

Detailed Application Methodology (How to Use)

To achieve optimal dual-action degreasing performance, ALKEMIST™ | Water and Chemicals Solutions (SMC-PVT) LIMITED recommends adhering to the following application protocols:

Step 1: Dilution Preparation

• Heavy Soil Load: Use the product neat (undiluted) for extreme grease, baked-on oil, and heavy carbon build-up.
• Light to Medium Soil: Dilute the concentrate up to a 1:5 ratio with water for lighter maintenance cleaning and surface washing.

Step 2: Application

The product is versatile and can be applied via spraying, brushing, or utilizing a dipping tank. Apply the solution directly to the greasy surfaces, ensuring full and even coverage.

Step 3: Penetration and Agitation

Allow the applied degreaser 5 to 10 minutes to deeply penetrate the grime. The solvent base requires this time to dissolve the oils, while the alkaline builders work to lift the particulate matter. Do not let the chemical dry on the surface. For exceptionally stubborn or baked-on deposits, mechanical agitation with a stiff brush is highly recommended.

Step 4: Thorough Rinsing

After the penetration phase, it is critical to rinse the treated area thoroughly with a strong, high-pressure stream of water. This flushes away the emulsified soils and ensures the residual alkalinity is completely neutralized and washed away from the metal surface.

Strict Safety & Handling Precautions

DANGER: This product contains a hazardous blend of solvents and alkaline materials. It is harmful or fatal if swallowed and must be kept strictly out of reach of children. Always read the label before use.

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): For safe handling, operators must use proper protective equipment, including heavy-duty nitrile gloves, chemical-splash safety goggles, and adequate vapor protection. Protect skin and eyes from direct contact due to the product’s corrosive and defatting properties.
• Operational Restrictions: Strictly keep the product away from open flames, sparks, and hot surfaces due to its volatile solvent content.
• First Aid Measures: In case of eye or skin contact, immediately rinse with plenty of water for several minutes and seek medical attention for chemical burns. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting and seek medical emergency help immediately. If inhaled, promptly move the affected person to fresh air.
