Degreaser question

Yes…

I can get you in touch with them to ship you a sample bucket of premixed via ups @CFH. To wave the $150 shipping fee…But once you use it, don’t blame me when your hooked for life

I appreciate the connect. Before I jump in, is that $150 shipping fee for 55 gal?

Thanks

If your local supplier orders from them maybe you can get them to order you other stuff from there without having to pay shipping charges. Not that you’d use that much from there but Patriot swears by their degreaser. I think he uses the HSC 400

No… they ship it in 2, 6 gallon buckets, 1 liquid, 1 hot powder. That will make 55 gallons of super hot concentrate. I buy in bulk ,flat rate is $150. But I can get up to 32 ,6 gallon buckets on 1 pallet of my choosing of chems. Fyi if you do get the kit. Mix it cold.

I’ll have to go down there and ask them more about it. I don’t even know how much they want for it. He recommended it and I told him I’d look into it

Does anyone know what function the butyl plays in the degreaser. I make my own degreaser by adding a bit of commercial degreaser to 25-40% NaOH.

Stealing from your employer is no way to start a side business

Butyl and Non-Butyl Degreaser Cleaners are used to quickly dissolve substances such as petroleum grease and fatty oils. They can be used on multiple surfaces, making them great cleaners for kitchens, restaurants, garages, and bathrooms.

What’s The Difference?

Butyl degreaser is the most common water based degreaser and is best used for cleaning petroleum grease, such as motor oil. When used on oils it disperses upon the oil, dissolving it into a liquid, making it easier to clean up. It can be used on multiple surfaces, although it may harm some plastics if allowed to sit too long. Butyl is organic in nature and is not required to be listed as an active ingredient in cleaning products, however, because it has been associated with similar solvents that are health hazards, some facilities require a Non-Butyl cleaner.

Spartan Tough Duty - NB

Non-Butyl degreaser is a high alkaline cleaner degreaser that work best on fatty oils found in restaurants and soap scum found in bathrooms. While Non-Butyl degreaser can be used on multiple surfaces, the high alkalinity can attack aluminum and soft metals if left to sit too long. They are best used on stainless steel, floors, ovens and grills.

I now have black mail on you too. :male_detective::male_detective:.

I guess you missed the asking permission part also.

My guess is @Innocentbystander didnt see that part because the blue button covered it.

If your “pusher” owns the business, then I offer my deepest apologies. If he is just your boss, or the next guy up the food chain, and doesn’t pay for the chemicals out of his pocket, then I stand by what I said

Would you mind breaking that down?

22% NaOH in solution would be just under a pint to a gallon. The Butyl is in liquid form, I think, so a cup or a little more?, and finish with 2 cups of TSP. I am eager to give this a try. I hate feeling like a sucker buying expensive products that do no better than a good homemade cleaner.

Yeah, @CFH, I’m afraid your formula is a tiny bit flawed. There’s no reference to how large a batch this is for. Ideally, the TSP should be listed as a percentage along with the other ingredients, as opposed to a fixed quantity.

I thought they “banned” people in some states from using TSP in alot of cleaning products due to it being some bad for the environment and people.

Ive never really looked to see if its in anything of my products including household ones but i personally would avoid it if i could. I do know alot of roofs and some siding manufacturers always mention it as a way to clean their products.

It’s the “p” in tsp that caused the issues. Most tsp sold now is phosphate free.

Has anyone here tried the BioRem 2000 Degreaser / Oil Eliminator for oil stains?
