SAFECARE® 1000 Aqueous Cleaner Concentrate

1 of 8 products in this brand
SAFECARE® 1000 Aqueous Cleaner Concentrate is the most versatile and powerful non-ionic surfactant system used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Comprised of fatty alcohols, free fatty acids and fatty esters, SC-1000 is a colloidal solution that creates a unique hydrocarbon release agent that can tolerate tremendous soil load. The powerful micelle cleaning action of SC-1000 will cause long chain hydrocarbon soils including fats, greases, oils, proteins and sugars to repel from the surface so that they can be rinsed away with water, without damaging or reacting with the cleaning surface. SC-1000 is not a typical caustic detergent or petroleum solvent, therefore it will not damage or react with the cleaning surface.
