MA5X Heavy-Duty Degreaser Industrial | Maximum Strength pH 13-14
MA5X Industrial Heavy-Duty Degreaser is the most powerful formula in our lineup. Engineered with a maximum-strength pH 13-14 alkaline concentrate, it’s built exclusively for extreme applications where standard degreasers fail.
If you need to strip years of baked-on carbon or tackle heavy manufacturing maintenance, this is your solution. Note: This is not for general facility cleaning—use only when you require maximum alkaline chemistry and are prepared to handle it safely.
Ideal Applications
-
Engine Rebuilding: Penetrates and dissolves years of baked-on oil, carbon deposits, and compacted soils from blocks, heads, and manifolds in just 2 to 6 minutes.
-
Metal Fabrication & Production: Strips cutting fluids, lubricants, and accumulated soils from fabrication tables, press beds, and conveyor systems.
-
Industrial Concrete: Lifts long-term grease and oil buildup from shop floors to prep for coating, sealing, or inspection.
-
Heavy Equipment & Power Gen: Highly effective for scheduled maintenance on generator housings, compressors, and turbine components.
Choosing the Right MA5X Degreaser
Always start with the mildest product that gets the job done:
-
All-Purpose (pH 11-12): For daily facility and commercial cleaning.
-
Black Degreaser (pH 12-13): For heavy commercial degreasing on vehicles and engines.
-
Industrial (pH 13-14): For extreme applications only. Use this product only when the Black Degreaser hasn't achieved the necessary results.
Directions for Use
-
Extreme Contamination (Engines & heavy carbon): Dilute 1:5 (1 part concentrate to 5 parts water).

Heavy Maintenance (Regularly serviced equipment): Dilute 1:10.
-
Application: Apply via brush, pressure washer, or spray. Allow 2 to 6 minutes of dwell time, agitate compacted deposits, and rinse thoroughly with clean water.

⚠️ DANGER: Critical Safety Information
This is the highest-strength product in the MA5X lineup. It carries the GHS DANGER signal word and is classified as causing serious eye damage (H318), skin irritation (H315), and possible allergic skin reaction (H317). At pH 13-14, eye contact can cause permanent damage. Not appropriate for commercial kitchens, offices, or household use.
-
Required PPE: Chemical-resistant gloves, safety glasses or face shield, and protective clothing. Mechanical ventilation is mandatory in enclosed spaces (contains 2-Butoxyethanol; NIOSH recommended exposure limit: 5 ppm).
-
Eye Contact: Flush immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Call a poison center or doctor immediately (P310). Do not delay.
-
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash the affected area thoroughly with water. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
-
Storage & Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Store strictly separated from all acids and oxidizing agents to prevent dangerous reactions. Do not allow spills to reach drains, waterways, or storm systems.
