Industrial green cleaning

Solvent-free degreasing for plants and warehouses.

Machinery, oil-stained concrete, docks, and miles of aisle. EcoWash replaces conventional solvent degreasers with a bio-surfactant concentrate that has a flash point above 212 °F, 10.4 g/L VOC, and no DOT hazmat classification. It runs from mop buckets to autoscrubbers to parts tanks.

Manufacturing & warehouse use cases

From the machine base to the loading dock

Each setting is the starting-point dilution on the Fusion Pro dispenser. Always follow your site's lockout/tagout and PPE rules.

Degreaser ≈4:1 · Heavy Duty ≈13:1

Machinery & equipment

Machine bases, guards, housings, and conveyors coated in cutting fluid, lubricants, and shop grime.

  1. Lock out and tag out equipment before cleaning.
  2. Apply and let it penetrate.
  3. Agitate, wipe, or rinse.
Heavy Duty bucket ≈15:1

Oil-stained floors

Drip zones under machines, hydraulic-fluid spots, and the haze that makes concrete slippery.

  1. Absorb free oil first.
  2. Scrub with Heavy Duty, then pick up with a wet vac or autoscrubber.
Degreaser ≈4:1

Parts & tools

A water-based, solvent-free alternative for parts washing and tool cleaning.

  1. Soak or brush parts in the diluted solution.
  2. Rinse and dry promptly.
  3. Validate on your parts and finishes before switching a production process.
Floor ≈64:1

High-traffic warehouse floors

Daily aisle cleaning with ride-on or walk-behind autoscrubbers.

  1. Fill the autoscrubber solution tank from a 4 GPM bucket station.
  2. Step up to Heavy Duty for tire marks and spill zones.
Heavy Duty bucket ≈15:1

Docks, doors & dumpster pads

Dock plates, levelers, overhead doors, and compactor and dumpster pads.

  1. Scrub and rinse.
  2. Keep wash water out of storm drains per your stormwater plan.
All-Purpose ≈43:1 · Heavy Duty ≈13:1

Break rooms & restrooms

Employee break rooms, locker rooms, and restrooms.

  1. Use All-Purpose for tables and counters and Heavy Duty for fixtures.
  2. Disinfect separately where required.

Warehouses & distribution

Floor care at warehouse scale

At 64:1, one 55-gallon drum makes about 3,575 gallons of autoscrubber solution, and one 275-gallon tote makes about 17,875 gallons. At the tote price, that's roughly $0.77 per ready-to-use gallon. Concentrate ships as non-hazmat freight.

Keep heavy duty wipes on forklifts and at pack stations for controls, scanners, and greasy hands-on surfaces.

The mechanism

How it works: grab, encapsulate, rinse, break down

Our proprietary bio-surfactant is on the FDA GRAS list. Each molecule has a water-loving head and an oil-loving tail. In water, the molecules form nanoscale particles called micelles that encapsulate oil, grease, and grime, so the soil rinses away instead of re-depositing. Each micelle is about 1.2 to 4 nanometers across.

  1. Grab

    Oil-loving tails anchor into grease and food or machine soil and break its grip on the surface.

  2. Encapsulate

    The molecules close around the soil in nanoscale micelles with the water-loving heads facing out.

  3. Rinse

    The micelles stay suspended in the rinse water and wipe or mop away cleanly.

  4. Break down

    After rinsing, microbes biodegrade our primary surfactant, sodium tallate (a tall oil soap), to carbon dioxide, water, and biomass. See the published data.

Illustration in three panels showing how the bio-surfactant removes grease. 1 Grab: surfactant molecules, each with a round water-loving head and a thin oil-loving tail, push their tails into an amber grease film on stainless steel while their heads stay in the water. 2 Encapsulate: a cut-away micelle with heads facing outward and tails pointing inward around a trapped oil core. 3 Rinse: closed micelles carrying the oil are swept away by rinse water, leaving the steel surface clean.
  1. Grab. Oil-loving tails (ivory) anchor into the grease (amber). Water-loving heads (teal) stay in the water.
  2. Encapsulate. Cut-away micelle: heads face out, tails point in, and the oil is trapped in the core.
  3. Rinse. Closed micelles carry the oil off the surface and away in the rinse water.

Proof & compliance

What EHS and purchasing will check

No compromises. No vague claims. Only results backed by proof.

  • Flash point >212 °FNot a flammability hazard in use. Removes a flammable solvent from many jobs.
  • Low VOC10.4 g/L (1.0% by weight) as supplied.
  • Not DOT-regulatedNot dangerous goods under DOT, IATA, or IMDG rules. Ships as ordinary freight.
  • USDA Certified Biobased Product43% biobased content, useful for sustainability and green-purchasing reporting.
  • Honest hazard profileNot classified under OSHA HCS, with no signal word (SDS PT-BIOSURF-001). Goggles and nitrile gloves are good practice when handling concentrate, with an eyewash within 10 seconds of travel.
  • No listed carcinogensNo IARC, NTP, or OSHA carcinogen-listed ingredients. No Prop 65 listed ingredients.

Straight answers

Frequently asked questions

Can it replace solvent degreasers?

It is designed to replace conventional solvents for cleaning and degreasing. With a flash point above 212 °F and VOC of 10.4 g/L, it removes a flammable solvent from many jobs. Validate on your soils and substrates before switching a production process.

Is it compatible with all metals?

The SDS does not list any metals as incompatible. Its incompatible materials are strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidizers, and strong reducing agents.

Will it work in my autoscrubber?

Yes. The Floor setting (about 64:1) and Heavy Duty bucket setting (about 15:1) are specified for mop buckets and autoscrubbers.

What does EHS need?

The SDS (PT-BIOSURF-001, OSHA HCS 2024) lists the product as not classified under OSHA HCS for physical, health, or environmental hazards, with no pictogram and no signal word. It is not classified as a skin or eye irritant: the SDS says it is not expected to cause skin irritation or corrosion at use concentrations, and that product-level eye irritation classification is not warranted. Direct contact may cause mild transient irritation, so avoid direct eye contact. SARA 311/312 hazards: none. No ingredients are on the Prop 65 list, all ingredients are TSCA-listed or exempt, and it is not regulated as dangerous goods for transport.

What other industrial uses are there?

The specification sheet also lists soil remediation, marine, boat, and deck surface cleaning, and oilfield paraffin and asphaltene removal. Contact us about those applications.
