Where an industrial degreaser is used
An industrial degreaser earns its place wherever lubricants, cutting oils, hydraulic fluid or cooking fats build up. Typical users are machine shops, vehicle and fleet workshops, metal fabrication plants, logistics depots and food-processing sites with greasy floors and extraction areas. The soil differs in each case, from fresh light oil to aged, baked-on deposits, and that difference is the main thing to describe to a supplier when asking for a recommendation.
- Engines, gearboxes and machine housings
- Workshop and warehouse floors
- Tools, parts and assemblies before maintenance or painting
- Tanks, containers and loading areas
Water based degreaser or solvent: what changes for the user
A water based degreaser uses water as the carrier and is rinsed off with water, which suits pressure washers, floor machines and spray application. Buyers often choose this type to reduce solvent handling on site and to simplify storage, although the safety data sheet remains the reference for protective equipment and storage conditions. RESOLVER in the Carlo & Richi range is a water based degreaser for industrial and workshop use.
When a heavy duty degreaser is needed
Some deposits do not respond to a standard product: thick grease on chassis parts, carbonised residue, or oil that has soaked into a floor over years. This is where a heavy duty degreaser or a special formulation is considered. RESOLVER EX is the special degreaser in the range. Describe the soil, the surface and the cleaning method, ideally with photos, so that the more suitable of the two can be proposed.
Using a degreaser on machinery and floors: practical checks
Follow the technical data sheet for dilution and application, and test on a small, hidden area first. Painted surfaces, light alloys, rubber seals and some plastics can react to strong cleaners, so compatibility should be confirmed rather than assumed. Operators should wear the protective equipment named in the safety data sheet, and the site should check how oily rinse water is collected and disposed of under local rules.
Buying an industrial degreaser in bulk
For regular users, pack size affects handling as much as price. Carlo & Richi supplies degreasers in 10 L, 20 L and 30 L canisters and in IBCs, with MSDS/SDS and TDS available. Distributors can also ask about private label supply under their own brand. Minimum order quantities are flexible, so the practical step is to send expected volumes and destination and request a quotation.
