Industrial cleaning: biodegradable degreasers and operator safety
Heavy industrial cleaning has always coexisted with aggressive, flammable or toxic solvents. Today, water-based biodegradable degreasers reach a high power to remove grease and oil without the risk to the operator's health and without the environmental burden of chlorinated solvents, which simplifies handling, storage and effluent treatment.
The choice depends on the type of soiling and the environment. For heavy degreasing of chassis, engines and fleets, activated alkaline formulations remove burnt oil quickly. For food-grade areas, a product formulated for that use is needed, with the safety that critical hygiene demands. In all cases, the correct dilution adjusts the cost to the level of dirt.
The JEF Clean line brings together biodegradable degreasers for each scenario, from Solven Max to Solv Bio Plus, as well as multipurpose and fleet products. Talk to the team to choose the right degreaser and the most economical dilution for your operation.
