Grease / Oils / Tar

Grease, oils, and tar create slip hazards, contamination risks, and maintenance challenges.

Common methods

• Hot water pressure washing: Uses heat and detergents to break down heavy oils and greases.

• Foam cleaning: Provides extended dwell time of degreasers on vertical and complex surfaces.

• Dry ice blasting: Removes built-up grease and tar from equipment without rinsing water.

• Dry vapor steam cleaning: Targets detailed areas, joints, and components with high-temperature steam.

• Chemical cleaning: Solvent and detergent-based degreasers dissolve heavy hydrocarbon contamination.

Typical applications

• Cleaning floors, pits, and sumps in industrial plants.

• Degreasing mechanical equipment, gearboxes, and housings.

• Removing cooking fats and oils in food facilities.

• Tar and asphalt removal from tools, vehicles, and structures.

• Preparing surfaces for inspection, repair, or recoating.
