Usage:
Until now, to do the right cleaning job, you had a lot of narrow choices...because there were a lot of narrow cleaners.
New HYDROSOLV cleaners from Caterpillar eliminate that problem. Together they do a full range of shop cleaning jobs...from lifting the toughest carbon deposits, to degreasing, to cleaning equipment, counter tops, appliances and shop floors.
They do it without the risks of many present day cleaners. In solution, Hydrosolv cleaners are less than 1% caustic. They're nonflammable; have no offensive odor; and when used as directed they're safe for all critical surfaces, painted or polished, including all ferrous metals, most nonferrous metals, rubbers and plastics.
Hand scrub and spray applications.
Neither is touchy about working conditions. They dissolve completely in both soft and hard water, keep cleaning down to 21°C (70°F) and diluted working strength solutions can be drained to existing sewer systems. (Check local regulations on disposal.)
Hydrosolv cleaners will save you money, too. Their advanced formulas work fast, reducing cleaning time on most jobs. As little as 5% solution puts them at working strength. If you're still using mineral spirits, in some applications you can save up to 70% by switching to Hydrosolv. And your shop will be a safer and more pleasant place to work.
With only two cleaners, it's easier to comply with the tougher "right to know" laws.
So don't be a cleaner collector. Instead, rely on these two Hydrosolv products to handle all your cleaning needs.
Equipment cleaning/degreasing.

Its unique blend of wetting and emulsifying agents lifts off even the toughest soils. Then it holds oils in suspension, leaving surfaces clean, film free - eliminating the need for rinsing.
