Engine Cleaner (also known as Engine Degreaser) is a heavy-duty, solvent-based or aqueous-based chemical formulation designed to dissolve, emulsify, and remove stubborn petroleum-based contaminants from mechanical assemblies. Its primary function is to cut through and lift accumulated engine oil, grease, grime, carbon deposits, and road tar from internal combustion engines, machinery parts, and automotive components. Technical-grade engine cleaner is engineered for industrial, automotive repair, and fleet maintenance applications. It is not intended for use on active electronic components, certain plastics, or as a general-purpose household cleaner due to its potent chemical strength and potential corrosivity.

Engine Cleaner

Primary Uses

1. Automotive and Transportation Maintenance

Engine bay degreasing: Spray-on application for cleaning oil-covered engine blocks, transmissions, and undercarriage components to improve visibility for repairs, prevent fire hazards, and prepare surfaces for painting or coating.
Parts cleaning and refurbishment: Soaking or brushing application to clean individual components like cylinder heads, pistons, valves, and manifolds in repair shops or rebuild facilities.
Heavy-duty fleet maintenance: Used on trucks, buses, agricultural, and construction equipment to remove heavy grease and mud buildup from engines and drivetrains.
Gunk and varnish removal: Dissolves baked-on carbon deposits and sludge from internal engine parts and oil galleries.

2. Industrial and Mechanical Maintenance

Machinery degreasing: Cleaning of industrial motors, pumps, gearboxes, and conveyor systems in manufacturing and processing plants.
Workshop parts washer fluid: Used as a concentrated additive or primary cleaning fluid in industrial parts washing cabinets and soak tanks.
Pre-cleaning for welding or coating: Prepares metal surfaces by removing oils and contaminants prior to welding, machining, or applying protective coatings.

Secondary Uses

1. Marine and Agricultural Equipment

Marine engine cleaning: Degreasing of boat engines and bilge areas, with formulations specific for marine environments.
Farm equipment maintenance: Cleaning of tractors and harvesters caked with a mixture of oil and organic matter.

2. Other Applications

Garage floor and workshop cleaning: Removing oil stains and spills from concrete floors and workshop tools.
Grease trap and parts pre-soak: Heavy-duty pre-treatment for heavily soiled items before standard washing.

KEY PRODUCT FEATURES

1. Basic Identification Attributes

- Chemical Name: Blend of solvents, surfactants, and alkalines.
- Common/Trade Name: Engine Cleaner; Engine Degreaser; Heavy-Duty Degreaser; Gunk Remover.
- CAS Number: Mixture; components vary.
- Form: Liquid (aerosol spray, trigger spray, bulk liquid), Gel.

Synonyms:

- Motor cleaner
- Parts cleaner
- Industrial degreaser
- Solvent cleaner

2. Physical & Chemical Properties

Physical State: Liquid or gel.
Color & Odor: Often amber, orange, or clear liquid with a strong, pungent solvent or citrus odor.
pH: Typically alkaline (pH >10 for water-based formulas) or neutral (for solvent-based formulas).
Flash Point: Varies significantly; solvent-based formulas can be flammable with low flash points, while water-based formulas may have a high flash point or be non-flammable.
Solubility: Oil-soluble (solvent-based) or water-miscible (aqueous-based).
Density: Varies, often near or above 1.0 g/cm³.

3. Safety & Hazard Attributes

- Hazard Class (GHS): Varies critically by formulation.

Common Classifications:

- - Flammable Liquid (Solvent-based): H225 Highly flammable liquid and vapor.
  - Skin Corrosion/Irritation: H314 Causes severe skin burns and eye damage (alkaline formulas) or H315 Causes skin irritation.
  - Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Solvent-based): H336 May cause drowsiness or dizziness.
  - Hazardous to Aquatic Life: H411 Toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.
Toxicity: Can be harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Causes skin and eye irritation or corrosion.
Exposure Limits: Dependent on specific solvent ingredients (e.g., petroleum distillates).

4. Storage & Handling Attributes

- Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. For flammable types, follow regulations for flammable liquids.
- Container Type: HDPE containers, aerosol cans, steel drums.
- Shelf Life: Typically 2-5 years if stored properly.

Handling Precautions:

- Use with adequate ventilation (often forced air is required).
- Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
- Do not use near ignition sources.

5. Regulatory & Compliance Attributes

Labeling Requirements: Must carry GHS hazard pictograms and statements specific to its formulation (flammable, corrosive, health hazard).
Transport Classification: Depends on formulation. Flammable types are Class 3. Corrosive types are Class 8.

6. Environmental & Health Impact

Biodegradability: Varies; solvent-based types are often slow to degrade.
Ecotoxicity: Generally harmful to aquatic life. Must not be released into drains, sewers, or waterways.
VOC Content: Many formulas contain high levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), subject to regional air quality regulations.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Handling Precautions

PPE Required: Essential: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), safety goggles. Often required: Face shield, chemical-resistant apron, and respiratory protection (organic vapor cartridge for solvent types).
Handling Guidelines: Use in well-ventilated areas, preferably outdoors or with local exhaust ventilation. Apply, allow dwell time, then rinse thoroughly with water (if water-based) or wipe clean (if solvent-based, no rinse).
Storage Measures: Store away from incompatible materials like strong oxidizers and acids. Ground containers during transfer to prevent static discharge for flammable types.
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Immediately move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin immediately with plenty of soap and water. For corrosive types, rinse for 15-20 minutes. Seek medical attention for burns or irritation.
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek immediate medical attention.

Firefighting Measures

Fire Hazards: Solvent-based formulas are highly flammable. Vapors can travel to ignition sources and flash back.
Extinguishing Media: For flammable types: Use dry chemical, CO2, foam, or water spray. For water-based types: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical.
Special Precautions: For flammable fires, wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear. Fight fire from a safe distance. Use water spray to cool exposed containers and protect firefighters.
Decomposition Products: Toxic fumes (carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, etc.) under fire conditions.
