Heavy Duty Water Based Degreasers

A water-based degreaser is a cleaning solution that uses water as the main carrier instead of relying primarily on petroleum solvents. These products often use surfactants, emulsifiers, or citrus-derived ingredients to loosen and lift grease, oil, grime, tar, and asphalt from surfaces. For industrial use, customers should choose the product based on surface type, soil type, application method, and product label guidance.

Zircon Industries' heavy duty degreasers are formulated without petroleum distillates or toxic fumes. Super Orange Degreaser uses 100% natural citrus terpene oil, and Floating Lift Station Degreaser uses 100% d'Limonene — both biodegradable and non-corrosive. Unlike conventional solvent-based degreasers, these formulas are safe for metals, workers, and the environment, and the wastewater formula does not disrupt bacterial action in sewage treatment systems.

Yes, for the correct product. Floating Lift Station Degreaser is specifically designed for wastewater and lift-station applications. Its 100% d'Limonene formula floats on water, dissolves grease and fats on wet walls, carries USDA Authorized C1 status, and does not disrupt bacterial action in raw sewage treatment. Operators should follow the product label, SDS, and site-specific wastewater handling procedures.

Application depends on the product. Super Orange Degreaser is safe for all metals and can be used on auto motors, engines, construction equipment, road equipment, farm equipment, trucks, concrete, masonry, metal parts, driveways, and garage floors. Floating Lift Station Degreaser is designed for municipal wastewater and lift-station use, including grease and fats on wet walls.

Zircon Industries' heavy duty water-based degreasers carry three key certifications: USDA Authorized C1, Biodegradable Formula, and GSA Canadian Compliant. The USDA Authorized C1 designation is particularly relevant for the Floating Lift Station Degreaser used in regulated municipal environments.

Super Orange Degreaser is available in 4x1 gallon cases, 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, and 12 x 20 oz aerosol cans per case. Floating Lift Station Degreaser is available in 55-gallon drums for bulk municipal use. Contact Zircon Industries at 800-547-4328 for pricing, availability, and product selection guidance.
