Epochem 502 is a water based, non toxic, biodegradable degreaser, it does not contain any hazardous solvents that can present an issue to users. developed out of need, since the chemical industry and our economy rely heavily on petroleum and its by-products, there has been tremendous need to develop a degreaser composition that can effectively clean the various types of oils usually encountered in marine and refining equipment such as engines, ship decks, tanks and the like and yet does not possess the numerous disadvantages which are inherent in other degreaser in the market, these products are unsatisfactory to use in marine and other industrial cleaning purposes because they contain petroleum based solvents and other toxic organic diluent .

Depending on the use Epochem 502 heavy duty degreaser and industrial cleaner can be employed full strength for particularly heavy cleaning jobs, such as spills of heavy oils, the unique feature of this degreaser is that degreasing is effective even at less or full strength  and even when the material being removed is particularly difficult to solubilise, for example it is still effective when diluted with 5 to 10 parts of water.

Heavy duty cleaning of Petroleum products holding Tanks, Engines carbon on engine heads, Bunker C oil, Grease traps and machine parts, Decks and platforms engine room, Bulkheads soil-stained concrete, degas tanks and barge compartments, Petroleum based drilling muds compressor and diesel engine exteriors.

Normal cleaning such as bilges, exhaust stack smoke, oil-soaked ground and other dirt sands, told, mildew, algae, water-line scum, teakwood decks, carpeting and the like can be accomplished with dilution from 10 to 20 times with one part of Epochem 502 heavy duty degreasers. This degreaser t can be used as cold or hot water pressure wash in conjuction with steam cleaning.

Epochem 502 heavy duty degreaser and industrial cleaner may be used as supplied or diluted with up to 20 parts of water, apply to parts to be degreased, allow for penetration and wait for 10 minutes and wash off with water

It may be applied by brush, swab or spray. Parts may be pressure washed off with pressure washer or steam cleaner.

According to the Research Chemist of Epoxy Oilserv Limited, Roselyn Nwachukwu “Consumers will no longer pay for water detergents in Nigeria as degreasers, rather they will enjoy full benefits of highly concentrated cleaning solution packets that dissolve when dropped in water, and enjoy full benefits of an industrial cleaner with highest cleaning efficacy“
