DEGREASER FOR CONCRETE _ Types of Degreasers for Concrete 1. Alkaline Degreasers: . Description: These are the most common type of degreasers for concrete. They are effective at breaking down oils, grease, and other organic materials. . How They Work: They work by saponifying the grease and oils, turning them into soap and water which can then be rinsed away. . Best For: General use on garage floors, driveways, and industrial concrete surfaces. 2. Solvent-Based Degreasers: . Description: These degreasers contain solvents that dissolve grease and oil. . How They Work: They break down the molecular structure of oil and grease, making them easy to wipe or rinse away. . Best For: Heavy-duty applications where grease and oil are heavily embedded, such as in auto shops or industrial areas. 3. Bio-based or Enzymatic Degreasers: . Description: These are environmentally friendly options that use natural enzymes or bio-based materials to break down grease and oil. . How They Work: Enzymes break down the grease into smaller molecules that bacteria can consume, effectively "eating" the grease away. . Best For: Environmentally sensitive areas and routine maintenance where a less aggressive approach is sufficient. 4. Acidic Degreasers: . Description: Less common for general degreasing but sometimes used to remove specific types of stains. . How They Work: Acids can break down certain compounds and dissolve mineral deposits. . Best For: Specialized cleaning tasks, such as removing rust or lime stains from concrete.
