Clean harder. Pollute less. Work safer | GOMIN

It depends on the product. The Heavy-Oil Degreaser is explicitly safe for aluminium and aluminium alloys. The Heavy Carbon Cleaner and Power Degreaser are alkaline and should not be used on copper or other non-ferrous metals for extended soaking. The Rust Remover and Scale Remover are strongly acidic and should not contact aluminium or non-ferrous surfaces. Always test on a concealed area first, and refer to individual product specifications for guidance.

The Electromechanical Equipment Cleaner is specifically designed for live-equipment use, with a dielectric withstand voltage of 25KV. It evaporates completely after application, leaving no residue. All other GOMIN cleaners are water-based and should not be applied to energised electrical equipment unless specified. Always disconnect power for motors and high-voltage equipment before using any water-based product.

Dilution depends on contamination severity. The Heavy-Oil Degreaser can be used undiluted or diluted 1:5 to 1:20 with water — use undiluted for heavy yellow gummy scale. The Power Degreaser is typically diluted 1:10 to 1:100 depending on soiling. The Heavy Carbon Cleaner can be diluted 5 to 20× or used neat. For all products, heavier contamination requires higher concentration or undiluted application.

Waste water from alkaline degreasers (Heavy-Oil Degreaser, Power Degreaser, Heavy Carbon Cleaner) should be treated with acid to neutralise before discharge into the sewage treatment system. Waste water from acid-based products (Rust Remover, Scale Remover) should be neutralised with alkali before discharge. The Rust Inhibitor bath can be replenished as it weakens; replace when pH drops below 9. All products are biodegradable and contain no persistent pollutants.

All products should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, in a cool and ventilated area. Avoid violent impact to packaging to prevent leakage. The Electromechanical Cleaner should be stored sealed in a cool, shaded, ventilated area away from heat sources, as it is a solvent-type product. Shelf life is 2 years for all products from the date of manufacture.

Yes, for all water-based formulas: after cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water or wipe down. For metal surfaces, rust inhibition treatment is recommended after degreasing, particularly if the part will be stored or transported before further processing. The Electromechanical Cleaner is the exception — it fully evaporates after application with no rinsing required.
