Grease Cutter DE-703
UK Approved // GB CLP Validated
Concentrated Liquid
// TECHNICAL PROFILE & FORMULATION SCIENCE

Chemical Purpose & Action

Grease Cutter DE-703 is a concentrated industrial degreaser engineered to attack heavy grease, crude oil residues, bitumen, and carbon deposits on contact. Formulated with synergistic solvent-boosted surfactants that penetrate dense hydrocarbon sludge, creating a chemical barrier that prevents soil redeposition during high-pressure washdown. Rinses cleanly with hot or cold water.

Key Technical Advantages:
Fast-acting penetration dissolves dried fifth-wheel grease and tar
Non-redeposition chemistry ensures clean rinse without oil slick backwash
Optimised for thermal activation in 80°C–95°C hot water washers
Corrosion inhibitors protect bare steel surfaces post-wash
Important Surface Restrictions & Metallurgy Cautions

This formulation is NOT suitable for direct application on: Polished Aluminium Wheels, Soft Aluminium Panels, Galvanised Metal (Prolonged Contact). Contact with sensitive unlacquered aluminium or galvanised coatings may cause permanent chemical etching or discoloration.
