Acidic Cleaners vs. Alkaline Cleaners

The pH level of a cleaning product is a good indicator of its cleaning performance. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Cleaners rated from 0 to 6 are acidic (0 is the most acidic); those rated from 8 to 14 are alkaline (14 being the most alkaline); anything with a pH of 5.5 to 8.5 is generally considered neutral (or basic).

  • pH 0-2: “Mineral acid cleaners” are ideal for removing heavy oxide scales
  • pH 2-5.5: “Mild acids” are used to clean away inorganic salts and water-soluble metal complexes
  • pH 5.5-8.5: “Neutral cleaners” are best suited to removing light oils and small particles
  • pH 8.5-11: “Mild alkalines” are better at cutting through oil, particulates, and films
  • pH 11-12.5: “Alkaline cleaners” are used to remove oils, fats, proteins, etc.
  • pH 12.5-14: “Heavily alkaline solutions” are the best choice for removing heavy grease and soils

NuGenTec’s SuperGreen® eco-friendly industrial cleaners range from neutral to alkaline, providing potent cleaning power for a wide range of applications. We have the right solution for your toughest cleaning challenges.

Industrial Cleaners vs. Degreasers

What’s the difference between a “cleaner” and a “degreaser”? In general, all degreasers are cleaners, but not all cleaners are degreasers. A degreaser is a type of cleaner that is specifically formulated to remove grease. Many all-purpose cleaners can also be used to remove at least some grease, although tougher grease deposits will require a dedicated degreaser. Conversely, a product labeled as an “all-purpose degreaser” will not necessarily provide good all-around cleaning characteristics. Most degreasers are more alkaline than all-purpose cleaners, as higher alkalinity is more effective against grease and other organic soils.

Low VOC Cleaners & Degreasers

VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are a large group of common chemicals that produce harmful vapors under everyday circumstances. These vapors, many of which cannot be smelled or otherwise detected, are off-gassed into the ambient atmosphere and can cause significant health risks. Short-term exposure (hours or days) to VOCs can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, nausea, and more; long-term exposure (years of extended/repeated contact) can cause cancer, and permanent liver, kidney, or nervous system damage, among other health hazards.

For health reasons, it is best to limit or avoid any exposure to VOCs. Most products in the SuperGreen® line contain zero VOCs, while others contain very low levels of VOCs.
