This heavy duty degreaser is built for tough grease, grime and heavy soiling on vehicles. It’s Emchem’s own mix, blended for a North Wales family firm rather than factored in. It works the way a wash-bay chemical should: spray the surface, give it a few seconds, then wipe off with a warm, damp cloth. It’s a cleaner, not a disinfectant, and it isn’t for medical or hygiene purposes.
Features and benefits
- Breaks down and lifts stubborn grease. It clears the surface without leaving a residue, so you’re not chasing smears round the panel after the wipe.
- A few seconds of dwell on normal soiling. Tough, stubborn deposits take longer and a repeat application, but don’t let it dry on the surface.
- Alkaline chemistry. It shifts the fatty and oily soils a neutral wash chemical leaves behind. It’s strong, so test an inconspicuous area before you commit to a panel.
- Classified irritant, not corrosive. It’s not flammable either, and it carries no Substances of Very High Concern. Gloves, eye protection and covered arms still go on every time.
- 1L up to a 1000L IBC. The same chemistry scales for a single van or a whole depot. The 1L and 5L are buyable online. The 25L and the IBC are quoted, so email Emma for those.
- It’s a degreaser, not a TFR and not a disinfectant. There’s no kill claim on it and none is intended. For traffic film across a full fleet wash you want a TFR instead.

The rest of the range sits in degreasers and engine cleaners. For traffic film across a whole vehicle, high performance TFR is the pre-wash step this one sits next to, and wheels want their own chemistry, so run acid-free wheel cleaner alongside it. Gloves and eye protection aren’t optional with this product. We stock the Heavy Duty Diamond grip gloves.
