OVERVIEW

Powerful Natural Cleaning for Industrial Applications

The Walter Heavy Duty Citrus Degreaser (SKU: 53G535) represents a significant advancement in industrial cleaning technology, leveraging the natural solvency power of D-Limonene. Designed for the most demanding maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments, this 3.78L formulation provides a robust solution for removing stubborn contaminants that standard water-based cleaners cannot touch. By utilizing a 100% natural base derived from citrus peels, Walter Surface Technologies has created a solvent that rivals the efficacy of petroleum distillates while offering a more environmentally responsible profile.

One of the critical technical advantages of this formulation is its high flash point of 75°C (168.8°F). In industrial settings where safety is paramount, this elevated flash point significantly reduces the risk of flammability compared to traditional fast-evaporating solvents. This feature allows maintenance personnel to use the product with greater confidence in varied environments. The slow evaporation rate of the fluid is another functional benefit; it allows the solvent to remain on the surface longer, deeply penetrating thick layers of asphalt, tar, Bunker C fuel, and carbonized grease to break down the molecular bonds for easy removal.

Despite its oil-dissolving power, the Heavy Duty Citrus Degreaser is engineered to be water-rinsable. This emulsifying capability means that once the contaminant is dissolved, the entire mixture can be flushed away with water, leaving surfaces clean and residue-free. This makes it an excellent choice for parts washing, floor cleaning in heavy machinery areas, and preparing metal surfaces prior to welding or painting. It effectively bridges the gap between safety, sustainability, and raw industrial cleaning power.

Key Technical Benefits:

  • Natural Solvency: Utilizes D-Limonene to cut through heavy hydrocarbons.
  • Enhanced Safety: High flash point reduces fire risks in the shop.
  • Versatility: Effective on everything from adhesive residue to heavy crude oil.
  • Eco-Conscious: A biodegradable alternative to chlorinated solvents.

FAQ

The primary active ingredient is D-Limonene, a natural solvent extracted from citrus rinds, known for its ability to dissolve heavy oils and tar.

It has a high flash point of 75°C (168.8°F), which classifies it as combustible rather than highly flammable, making it safer than many petroleum solvents, but standard safety precautions regarding heat and open flames should still be observed.

No, the Walter Heavy Duty Citrus Degreaser is a ready-to-use formula designed to be applied at full strength for maximum effectiveness.

Yes, the formula is designed to be water-rinsable, allowing you to flush away the dissolved grease and grime easily.

It is specifically formulated for difficult contaminants like asphalt, tar, Bunker C fuel, carbon, heavy grease, and adhesives.

Yes, because it is based on natural ingredients (100% natural base), it is a more environmentally friendly and biodegradable alternative to traditional petrochemical solvents.

D-Limonene is a strong solvent and may soften or damage certain paints and plastics. It is always recommended to test a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to painted surfaces or plastics.

You can apply it using a trigger sprayer, a rag, or by immersing parts. Let it dwell for a short period to penetrate the grime, then wipe or rinse clean.
