Athea 426 Grease Cutter - Heavy-Duty Butyl Alkali Degreaser Concentrate

Grease Cutter is a blue liquid concentrated heavy-duty cleaner and degreaser combining potassium hydroxide alkaline base, 2-butoxyethanol butyl solvent, sodium tripolyphosphate builders, and modified coco diethanolamide surfactants with detergent fragrance that quickly strips away animal fats, vegetable oils, petroleum greases, grime, and carbonized deposits from commercial and institutional kitchen hoods, grills, equipment, floors, and walls without damaging suitable surfaces. The high-foaming alkaline formulation with pH 13.0-14.0 provides aggressive chemical penetration and saponification of encrusted grease deposits requiring manual scrubbing and thorough hot water rinsing for complete removal. The concentrate format enables economical bulk purchasing with flexible dilution from 1:25 light-duty cleaning to 1:5 heavy-grease applications delivering controlled degreasing strength for diverse kitchen facility maintenance requirements.

The potassium hydroxide alkaline chemistry saponifies animal fats and vegetable oils converting them into water-soluble soap-like compounds enabling removal through rinsing without requiring mechanical scrubbing on all suitable surfaces. The 2-butoxyethanol butyl solvent penetrates and dissolves petroleum-based grease and grime through powerful solvent action complementing the alkaline saponification mechanism. The sodium tripolyphosphate builder sequesters hard water minerals and suspended particles enabling effective cleaning in hard water environments. The modified coco diethanolamide surfactant creates the high-foaming action that clings to vertical surfaces and equipment providing extended contact time for grease dissolution before rinsing.

FAQ

What is Grease Cutter used for?
Heavy-duty degreasing and cleaning of grease, oils, fats, grime, and carbonized deposits from commercial kitchen hoods, grills, equipment, floors, and walls in food service facilities.
Is it a concentrate or ready-to-use?
It is a concentrate requiring dilution in water at ratios from 1:25 (light duty) to 1:5 (heavy grease), with stronger concentrations possible for extreme cases.
What dilution ratio should I use?
Use 1:25 for light cleaning, 1:15 for medium-duty applications, and 1:5 for heavy grease removal. For extreme cases, a stronger concentration may be used.
What is the pH?
pH 13.0-14.0, providing strong alkaline degreasing action through potassium hydroxide saponification and 2-butoxyethanol butyl solvent penetration.
Is it food service approved?
Yes, it is USDA A4 authorized as a floor and wall cleaner for use in all food service areas including commercial and institutional kitchens.
What surfaces should I avoid?
Do not use on aluminum or painted surfaces as the strong alkaline formula and butyl solvent may damage or discolor these materials.
Why is hot water used for rinsing?
Hot water enhances the rinsing process by improving solubility of saponified grease and water-soluble residues, enabling more complete removal of degreasing byproducts.
Is it high-foaming?
Yes, the high-foaming formula clings to vertical surfaces, equipment, and grease deposits providing extended contact time for effective penetration and dissolution before rinsing.
