SC CHEMICALS HEAVY DUTY DEGREASER

Commercial Heavy Duty Degreaser

SC Chemicals Commercial Heavy Duty Degreaser is a concentrated cleaning solution designed for demanding professional environments where ordinary general-purpose cleaners aren't enough.

Built to tackle grease, oil, grime and heavy buildup, the concentrated formula gives commercial operations the flexibility to adjust cleaning strength to the job.

Use it full strength for demanding degreasing, dilute it 1:1 for moderate contamination, or dilute it 4:1 with water for routine maintenance cleaning.

One 55-gallon drum can produce up to:

275 Gallons of Ready-to-Use Degreaser

Heavy-duty performance when you need it. Better cost efficiency when you don't.

Built for Commercial & Industrial Degreasing

Grease and oil contamination require different cleaning performance than routine dirt and dust.

SC Chemicals Heavy Duty Degreaser is designed for professional cleaning applications across compatible surfaces in environments such as:

• Automotive dealerships
• Service departments
• Detailing shops
• Fleet-maintenance facilities
• Commercial garages
• Workshops
• Warehouses
• Equipment-maintenance areas
• Shop floors
• Service bays
• Property-maintenance operations
• Compatible industrial environments

Instead of stocking multiple cleaning strengths, adjust the concentration of one industrial degreaser according to the contamination you're facing.

Dilute to the Job

Heavy Duty — Use Straight

Use at full strength when maximum degreasing performance is required.

Best suited for compatible surfaces with:

• Heavy grease
• Oil buildup
• Stubborn grime
• Heavily contaminated equipment
• Machinery
• Shop floors
• Service bays
• Maintenance areas

For demanding jobs, allow the chemistry to work according to the product instructions before agitating and rinsing as required.

55-gallon drum → 55 gallons ready-to-use

Medium Duty — 1:1

For moderate grease buildup and general commercial degreasing:

1 part water + 1 part degreaser

Every gallon of concentrate produces up to 2 gallons of ready-to-use solution.

Ideal for:

• General commercial cleaning
• Equipment
• Floors
• Work areas
• Service departments
• Moderate grease and oil contamination
• Routine shop cleaning

55-gallon drum → up to 110 gallons ready-to-use

Light Duty — 4:1

For routine maintenance and lighter contamination:

4 parts water + 1 part degreaser

Every gallon of concentrate produces up to 5 gallons of ready-to-use solution.

Ideal for:

• Light grease
• Dirt and grime
• Routine maintenance
• Large cleaning areas
• Frequent facility cleaning
• Lower-contamination applications

55-gallon drum → up to 275 gallons ready-to-use

One Drum. Up to 275 Gallons.

This should be one of the most prominent sections of the page.

At the 4:1 light-duty dilution:

55 gallons concentrate + 220 gallons water = 275 gallons ready-to-use

In metric terms, using your 208 L drum specification:

208 L concentrate → up to approximately 1,040 L ready-to-use solution

That gives commercial buyers a much more useful way to evaluate the product than simply looking at the drum price.

Commercial Dilution & Yield

I'd put this table directly underneath the first product image or immediately before your commercial quote CTA.

Cost Per Ready-to-Use Gallon

For commercial purchasing, the drum price isn't necessarily the number that matters most.

The more useful metric is:

Purchase Price ÷ Ready-to-Use Volume = Chemical Cost Per Ready-to-Use Gallon

If a 55-gallon drum costs $X:

Full Strength: $X ÷ 55
1:1: $X ÷ 110
4:1: $X ÷ 275

This lets a dealership, fleet or facility manager compare SC Chemicals against its current degreaser on an equivalent ready-to-use basis.

If you're building out the SC Chemicals website, I would eventually add a Cost-Per-Gallon Calculator to all of your concentrated chemical pages.

Concentrated Chemistry for Lower-Volume Storage

Instead of purchasing hundreds of gallons of pre-diluted product, commercial operations can store concentrate and prepare ready-to-use solution as needed.

Depending on the dilution being used, this can provide:

• More ready-to-use cleaner from each container
• Adjustable cleaning strength
• Reduced ready-to-use storage volume
• Fewer separate cleaning strengths to inventory
• Potentially lower chemical cost per cleaning job
• Greater flexibility across different applications

Buy concentration. Dilute to the job.

Automotive Dealerships

Dealership service and reconditioning departments encounter grease and grime continuously.

SC Chemicals Heavy Duty Degreaser can support compatible cleaning applications across:

• Service bays
• Shop floors
• Equipment
• Maintenance areas
• Reconditioning environments
• Compatible automotive cleaning applications

The adjustable dilution allows the same operation to move between heavier degreasing and routine maintenance cleaning.

Fleet & Commercial Vehicle Facilities

Fleet-maintenance operations often deal with oil, grease and heavy road contamination at scale.

A bulk commercial degreaser provides centralized chemistry that can be diluted according to the cleaning requirement rather than relying on large quantities of small ready-to-use containers.

For high-volume fleet operations, the 55-gallon drum and 275-gallon tote formats can become particularly relevant.

Shops & Service Bays

Oil and grease contamination are common in automotive and mechanical work environments.

Use the appropriate dilution according to contamination level and surface compatibility.

For example:

Heavy buildup → Full strength

Moderate grease → 1:1

Routine maintenance → 4:1

This gives shop managers a straightforward dilution system employees can follow.

Warehouses & Commercial Facilities

The same concentrated system can support compatible non-automotive facility-cleaning applications.

Use the appropriate dilution for the contamination encountered across approved:

• Floors
• Work areas
• Equipment
• Maintenance spaces
• Warehouse areas
• Commercial facilities

Always confirm compatibility before using concentrated degreasers on unfamiliar or sensitive materials.

Rinses Clean

SC Chemicals Heavy Duty Degreaser is designed to rinse away after cleaning, helping minimize unwanted cleaner residue when used according to its instructions.

I would change your original “residue-free formula” to this wording unless you have test data specifically substantiating a zero-residue claim.

It still communicates the benefit without making an unnecessary absolute promise.

How to Use SC Chemicals Heavy Duty Degreaser

1. Identify the level of grease and contamination.
2. Select the appropriate dilution.
3. Prepare the solution using clean water when dilution is required.
4. Apply according to the product directions.
5. Allow appropriate dwell time.
6. Agitate stubborn contamination where necessary.
7. Rinse thoroughly where required.
8. Inspect the surface.
9. Repeat when necessary for severe contamination.

Do not allow the product to dry on the surface unless your technical instructions specifically permit it.

For unfamiliar surfaces, test an inconspicuous area before widespread application.

How to Dilute Heavy Duty Degreaser

1:1 Medium Duty

Combine:

1 part degreaser + 1 part water

Examples:

1 L concentrate + 1 L water = 2 L solution

5 L concentrate + 5 L water = 10 L solution

4:1 Light Duty

Combine:

1 part degreaser + 4 parts water

Examples:

1 L concentrate + 4 L water = 5 L solution

5 L concentrate + 20 L water = 25 L solution

For commercial proportioning systems, configure the equipment according to both the dispenser manufacturer's instructions and the required product dilution.

Heavy Duty Degreaser vs ALL CLEAN

This is important because you now have two commercial products that could otherwise appear very similar.

SC Chemicals Heavy Duty Degreaser

Choose it when the primary problem is:

• Heavy grease
• Oil
• Oily shop contamination
• Equipment buildup
• Service-bay grime
• More demanding degreasing

ALL CLEAN Commercial Grade

Choose it when you need:

• Broader multipurpose cleaning
• General facility maintenance
• Everyday dirt and grime
• Flexible cleaning across multiple compatible surfaces

In simple terms:

ALL CLEAN → General-purpose commercial cleaning

Heavy Duty Degreaser → Grease & oil removal

I'd cross-link these two pages using exactly that distinction.

Available Commercial Sizes

If this product follows the same SC Chemicals packaging structure, present the sizes as:

5 Gallon — 18.9 L
Ideal for smaller shops, trial accounts and lower-volume operations.

55 Gallon — 208 L
Ideal for dealerships, established shops, fleet facilities and commercial maintenance departments.

275 Gallon — 1,041 L
Ideal for high-volume operations, large fleets, multi-location businesses and commercial distribution.

At 4:1, a 275-gallon / 1,041 L tote would theoretically yield approximately 1,375 gallons / 5,205 L of ready-to-use solution, assuming the same dilution applies to that package size.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a commercial heavy duty degreaser?

A commercial heavy duty degreaser is designed to remove grease, oils and heavy contamination in professional environments such as service facilities, shops, warehouses and industrial operations.

Can SC Chemicals Heavy Duty Degreaser be diluted?

Yes. Your specified dilution system is:

Heavy Duty: Use Straight
Medium Duty: 1:1
Light Duty: 4:1

How much cleaner does a 55-gallon drum make?

At full strength, it provides 55 gallons.

At 1:1, it produces up to 110 gallons.

At 4:1, it produces up to 275 gallons.

What's the difference between 1:1 and 4:1?

Use 1:1 for moderate grease and general commercial degreasing. Use 4:1 for lighter contamination and routine maintenance.

What's the difference between Heavy Duty Degreaser and ALL CLEAN?

Heavy Duty Degreaser is positioned specifically around grease, oil and demanding degreasing applications. ALL CLEAN is your broader multipurpose commercial cleaner.

Is it suitable for automotive dealerships?

Yes. Dealership service, maintenance and reconditioning environments are among the intended commercial applications, subject to the product's specific surface-use instructions.

Can it be used on automotive paint?

I would not make that claim on the product page unless your technical documentation specifically confirms appropriate automotive paint use and dilution. A commercial degreaser can be substantially more aggressive than a dedicated exterior detailing cleaner.

Is it safe on aluminum?

Again, this should be answered from the actual formulation/SDS/TDS rather than assumed. If compatibility hasn't been verified, don't market it as aluminum-safe.

Where can I find the SDS?

Place a prominent Download SDS button on the commercial product page.
