How do I know if a degreaser is biodegradable?

Check product-specific documentation rather than inferring biodegradability from color or ingredients. The EcoBlend catalog lists biodegradable concentrates; ECOFORCE HD is also solvent-free and butyl-free. Request its SDS and TDS through Contact.

Are citrus or purple degreasers biodegradable?

It depends on the formula, not the color or scent. Citrus and purple degreasers range from water-based and biodegradable to solvent-heavy. The only reliable check is the manufacturer's label and SDS — not marketing color.

How do I dispose of a biodegradable degreaser?

Follow the product's SDS and your local regulations. Biodegradable means the chemistry breaks down over time; it does not mean used wash water containing grease, oil or lifted contaminants can be dumped anywhere. Collect rinse water where required and dispose of it according to local rules.

Can a biodegradable degreaser handle heavy grease?

ECOFORCE HD's documented uses include removal of animal, vegetable and petroleum-based fats and grease. Published guidance is light 20:1, general 10:1 and heavy 5:1. Follow the product label and TDS for your application.
