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 ozone-depleting chemicals. Floating Lift Station Degreaser uses 100% d'Limonene and is USDA Authorized C1 for municipal wastewater applications. Z99 Safety Solvent Degreaser contains no petroleum distillates and is non-flammable and non-conductive. Unlike conventional solvent-based degreasers with high flash points, Z99 has no flash point and is rated to 36,000 volts under ASTM D-877.

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. Z99 Safety Solvent Degreaser is designed for industrial equipment, including motors, windings, bearings, gears, relays, generators, starters, production machinery, electrical assemblies, and meters. Floating Lift Station Degreaser is designed for municipal wastewater and lift-station use, including grease and fats on wet walls — not for equipment, vehicle, or hard-surface cleaning.

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.

Z99 Safety Solvent Degreaser is available in 12 x 20 oz aerosol cans per case, 5-gallon pails, and 55-gallon drums. 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.
