Industrial degreaser / Fleet & field equipment
Oil, grease and road film come with the job. Caustic cleaning doesn’t have to.
GreaseCheck is a water-based, neutral-pH concentrate for trucks, service vehicles and industrial equipment. It removes oils, greases, hydrocarbons, soot, road film and production soils from metal, painted surfaces, aluminium, plastics, glass, stone and concrete.
LKA Industrial Solutions Inc.
Supplied from Cleveland, Ohio.
One concentrate to stock, order and mix on site.
A water-based degreaser that combines solvency, detergency and chelation to tackle grease, oils, asphalt deposits and baked-on films. Dilute it with water to make Industrial, Heavy Duty or Multipurpose working solutions.
The same concentrate covers three levels of cleaning, reducing the number of ready-to-use products on the shelf.
Aluminium, anodising, clearcoat and polished stone can be vulnerable to aggressive alkalinity. GreaseCheck avoids that alkaline attack mechanism; material compatibility and contact time still matter.
Greases and thread compounds often contain lithium or calcium soaps. Chelation helps break down those metallic soaps, alongside the removal of oily contamination.

Illustrative operating scenario.
Not a reported customer result.
A field service fleet comes back with oil, grease, soot and road grime. Every extra cleaning pass uses crew time, water and wash-bay capacity.
GreaseCheck offers an alternative where aggressive alkalinity is undesirable, including around aluminium components. The operational question is straightforward: can the crew reach the same clean standard with fewer repeat steps?
Run a side-by-side trial. Record hands-on time, water use and the total time each vehicle is unavailable. Compare the cost of the complete job.
Work through the numbers ↓Mix for the task
Ratios are concentrate : water.
Fill with water first, then add concentrate.
On first mixing: 1 part concentrate + 3, 6 or 10 parts water. One US gallon of concentrate yields 4, 7 or 11 US gallons of working solution.
Each segment = 1 US gal. Blue = concentrate; teal = water. Select a solution above to update the proportions.
Select a dilution to calculate your batch. Follow the applicable TDS for application and contact time.
Also available / 1 : 10
For glazing, storefronts and vehicle windshield washer fluid. Removes greasy films, road contamination, soot and insect residue. No ammonia or methanol.
Summer use only. The water-based solution freezes at approximately 32 °F (0 °C).

GreaseCheck’s published market review places 14 of 16 compared products in the pH 11–14 range. GreaseCheck working solutions are pH 7.0–7.5.
01 Apply to the soil
02 Loosen and lift
03 Rinse away
Simplified process illustration, not a molecular model. The three cleaning mechanisms act together; follow the TDS for dilution, contact time and rinsing.
A glycol ether penetrates and loosens oils, asphalt deposits and baked-on films.
A neutralized anionic surfactant lifts contamination and emulsifies it into the water phase.
A water-conditioning agent helps break down metallic soaps and maintain cleaning performance in hard water.
| Property | GreaseCheck | Typical alkaline cleaner |
|---|---|---|
| pH | 7.0–7.5 at use dilution | Commonly 11–14 |
| Sensitive surfaces | Avoids alkaline attack; follow compatibility guidance | May etch aluminium, dull finishes or strip coatings |
| Flash point | None, aqueous solution | Depends on formulation |
| DOT shipping | Not regulated | Depends on classification |
| Rinse-water pH | Near neutral before effects of removed soils | May require pH adjustment |
| Foaming | Low at working dilution | Depends on formulation and equipment suitability |

Applications
Start with the surface and the contaminant. The team can recommend a working solution for processes not listed here.
Machined parts, tools and fixtures, aluminium castings and extrusions, pre-paint preparation and floors.
Industrial · Multipurpose ↗Engine bays, chassis, aluminium wheels and side panels, shipping wax, bodywork and shop floors.
Industrial · Heavy Duty ↗Drilling rigs, field transport, frac fleets, thread compound, pump jacks, shops and yards.
Industrial · Heavy Duty ↗Polished stone and concrete, kitchen areas, waste rooms, anodised façades, glass and floors.
Heavy Duty · Multipurpose ↗Forklifts, container handlers, conveyors, rail and bus depots, and loading docks.
Industrial · Heavy Duty ↗Manual cleaning outside the CIP loop, aluminium vessels and trays, soaking applications and floors. Non-food-contact surfaces.
Heavy Duty · Multipurpose ↗Wind gearboxes and bearings, nacelles and towers, solar trackers and panels, and substation equipment.
Industrial · Heavy Duty ↗Lithium and calcium sulfonate greases, gearbox components, mining and rolling-mill equipment.
Industrial ↗Oil-stain pretreatment, wiping rags and laundry equipment.
Industrial ↗Operations
Evaluate the complete process: mixing, application, rinsing, handling, storage and waste.
Low foaming at use dilution supports pressure washers with downstream injection, auto-scrubbers and tunnel washes. Follow the equipment instructions and product TDS.
Not DOT regulated. The product does not require dangerous-goods placarding on the basis of its shipping classification.
One gallon makes four to eleven gallons of working solution. Compared with shipping the equivalent ready-to-use volume, concentrate reduces product volume by 75% to about 91%, with potential packaging and freight savings.
In soak tanks and parts washers, released oils can float on standing, allowing skimming and extended reuse of the bath.
The cleaning solution is near neutral. Removed oils and other contamination still determine the treatment and disposal requirements of the spent wash water.
Store at 50–90 °F (10–32 °C). Protect from freezing and avoid prolonged storage above 100 °F (38 °C). Keep away from strong acids and strong oxidizers.

Labour + water and disposal + chemicals. Downtime is excluded: add it separately only when washing displaces productive operating time.Application notes
Neutral pH avoids aggressive alkalinity. It does not make every material compatible under every condition.
Test an inconspicuous area before first use. Prolonged contact or drying may affect polycarbonate, acrylic, ABS, paint less than a month old, varnished wood, gelcoat, bitumen, galvanizing, brass, copper, anodized layers, nitrile, EPDM and soft vinyl. Ask for the full materials compatibility sheet.
Use the recommended dilution and contact time. Keep the solution from drying on the surface.
Follow the TDS. Check the result before repeating a cleaning step. Record what the job actually used.
Safety & compliance
Classification and protective equipment are product-specific. Read the SDS for the concentrate or working dilution in use.
