Which ROwash degreasing solution is right for my application?
Choosing the right fluid depends on your industry and the materials you are cleaning:
ROwash 03 (General Degreasing): The standard high-performance choice for automotive and industrial workshops. It is highly effective against motor oil, bearing grease, and hydraulic fluids.
ROwash 06 (Specialist Metals): Specifically formulated for the aerospace and precision engineering industries. It is non-corrosive on sensitive metals like aluminum, copper, and iron, ensuring a streak-free finish.
ROwash Bike: A specialist pH-neutral formula designed for cycle workshops. It is powerful enough to clean drivetrains in seconds but remains safe for carbon fiber, rubber seals, and delicate paintwork.
Are ROwash degreasing solutions safe for skin and respiratory health?
Yes. Unlike traditional solvent-based cleaners, all ROwash solutions are water-based, pH-neutral, and non-toxic. They contain no known carcinogens and release no harmful vapours or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Because they are non-hazardous and non-flammable, they do not require heavy-duty gauntlets or specialized ventilation, making the workshop environment much safer and more pleasant for operators.
How does ROwash help with CoSHH and ISO 14001 compliance?
Switching to ROwash simplifies environmental and safety compliance. Because the solutions are solvent-free and biodegradable, they significantly reduce hazardous waste generation and simplify CoSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) reporting. Using a bioremediating system like ROwasher helps businesses meet sustainability targets and comply with environmental legislation such as ISO 14001 by eliminating the need for frequent hazardous waste collections.
Do solvent-free aqueous degreasers clean as well as traditional solvents?
ROwash solutions are engineered with advanced surfactants that break down hydrocarbons into tiny particles. When used in a ROwasher, the fluid is heated to 37°C–42°C, which reduces the viscosity of grease and oil, allowing it to be rinsed away even faster than traditional cold solvents. Users often report that the heated aqueous process is more efficient for heavy-duty grime and leaves parts dry and ready for use more quickly.
Do I need to replace the ROwash fluid regularly, or just top it up?
Because ROwash is part of a bioremediating system, the fluid effectively "self-cleans." As you wash parts, oil-eating microbes from the Microbial Filter Mat enter the solution and "eat" the grease, turning it into water and CO2. This means you rarely need to drain and replace the tank. Maintenance simply requires a monthly filter mat change and a fluid top-up (usually 20L) whenever the machine's low-level indicator light activates, ensuring your cleaning performance remains consistent.
