Blixem Degreaser is one of South Africa’s most recognized heavy-duty industrial cleaners. It is a water-based, non-flammable degreaser designed to break down oil, grease, and grime on a variety of surfaces without the fire hazards associated with solvent-based cleaners.
Key Features & Benefits
- Heavy-Duty Cleaning: Formulated to tackle tough engine grease, industrial machinery, and oily workshop floors.
- Water-Based Formula: Being non-flammable makes it safer to use in confined spaces or near heat sources compared to paraffin or petrol-based cleaners.
- Versatility: While it’s an industrial powerhouse, it is also popular for household use (ovens, braai grids, and driveways).
- Biodegradable: Generally safer for the environment than harsh solvent alternatives, though it should still be disposed of according to local regulations.
Common Applications
- Automotive: Cleaning engines, gearboxes, and chassis.
- Home & DIY: Cleaning braai equipment, garage floors, and oil spills on paving.
- Industrial: Degreasing factory floors, mining equipment, and agricultural machinery.
- Marine: Removing scum lines and oily residue from boat hulls.
Usage Instructions
- Application: For light cleaning, it can be diluted with water. For heavy grease, apply it neat (undiluted).
- Dwell Time: Allow the product to sit on the surface for 3 to 5 minutes to penetrate the grease.
- Agitation: Use a stiff brush or broom for stubborn areas.
- Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with a high-pressure hose or clean water.
