Definition of "degreaser" by Spec Services:
« Back to Glossary Index A degreaser is a cleaning agent specifically formulated to remove grease, oil, and other stubborn, oily residues from surfaces. It typically contains chemical compounds that break down and dissolve grease, making it easier to clean. Degreasers are commonly used in industrial, automotive, kitchen, and household settings to clean machinery, tools, engines, stovetops, countertops, and other surfaces prone to grease buildup. They can come in various forms, including sprays, liquids, gels, or wipes, and may be water-based (non-toxic and environmentally friendly) or solvent-based (stronger but potentially more hazardous). Proper handling and usage instructions should always be followed when using degreasers.
