Revet SDR All Purpose Heavy Duty Cleaner 3L

Revet SDR All-Purpose Heavy Duty Cleaner (3L) is an industrial-strength, concentrated degreasing agent engineered for the rapid removal of stubborn oils, greases, and organic grime. Formulated as a "Surface Degreaser and Remover" (SDR), this high-performance chemical solution is a mechanical necessity for maintaining hygiene and operational safety in workshops, agricultural facilities, and industrial environments.

Technical Specifications

• Chemical Base: High-alkaline, water-based surfactant blend.
• Volume: 3 Liters (Heavy-duty handle jug).
• Solubility: 100% Water-soluble.
• Biodegradability: Formulated to be environmentally responsible and easy to rinse.
• Action: Rapid emulsification of petroleum-based and vegetable fats.
• pH Level: High Alkaline (Industrial strength).

Key Performance Features

• Triple-Action Emulsification: SDR works by breaking the molecular bond between the contaminant and the surface. It lifts grease, suspends it in the solution, and allows it to be rinsed away without leaving an oily film—critical for preparing surfaces for painting or floor coatings.
• Concentrated Economy: Designed to be diluted based on the severity of the soil. A single 3L jug can produce up to 30 to 60 Liters of cleaning solution for general maintenance, offering significant logistical value.
• Multi-Surface Compatibility: Safe for use on concrete floors, engine blocks, PVC, steel, and heavy-duty workwear, provided the correct dilution ratios are followed.
• Inhibitor Protection: Contains specialized additives that help prevent "flash-rusting" on ferrous metals immediately after cleaning, protecting expensive components like Pascali pump housings or vehicle chassis.
• Rapid Penetration: The low-viscosity formula seeps into porous surfaces (like oil-stained concrete) to lift deeply embedded contaminants that standard detergents cannot reach.

Professional Usage & Safety Tips

• The "Dwell Time" Rule: For heavy grease buildup on workshop floors or engines, apply the solution and allow it to sit (dwell) for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not allow the cleaner to dry on the surface, as this can make rinsing more difficult.
• Agitation Protocol: Use a stiff-bristled brush to agitate stubborn areas. This mechanical action works in tandem with the SDR chemistry to break down "caked" layers of red dust and oil.
• PPE Requirement: CRITICAL. This is a heavy-duty alkaline cleaner. Always wear Dromex nitrile gloves and safety goggles during application. Avoid prolonged skin contact and use only in well-ventilated areas.
• Pressure Rinsing: For the best results, rinse the treated area with a high-pressure hose. The mechanical force of the water will carry away the emulsified grease that the SDR has loosened.
• Sensitive Materials: Avoid using concentrated SDR on high-polish aluminum or "soft" plastics without testing a small area first, as high-alkaline cleaners can cause dulling or etching on reactive metals.

Common Use Cases

• Workshop Maintenance: Cleaning oil spills from garage floors and degreasing stationary machinery.
• Agricultural Utility: Decontaminating livestock trailers, tractors, and implements after heavy use.
• Industrial Kitchens: Cutting through heavy vegetable fat and carbon buildup on floors and extractor fans.
• Pre-Paint Preparation: Removing all traces of wax and grease from metal surfaces before applying industrial coatings or primers.

Pro Tip: For a professional "as-new" finish on engine bays, apply Revet SDR via a spray bottle, agitate with a brush, and rinse. Once dry, wipe down any plastic covers with a Shield Microfibre Cloth for a streak-free shine. Always keep your SDR stored in a cool, dark place away from Industro Gas Cartridges or reactive acids to maintain the chemical stability of the surfactants.
