Zep 184839 Water-based Cleaner Degreaser 5 Gal Pail

Product Description

The ZEP 184839 is a water-based, concentrated liquid cleaner and degreaser supplied in a 5-gallon pail. It is formulated to cut through dirt, grease, and oil on equipment, surfaces, and components commonly encountered in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service environments. The sassafras-scented formula dilutes at ratios ranging from 1:2 for heavy-duty applications to 1:28 for light-duty maintenance cleaning. At 44.9 pounds filled, the pail is a practical bulk format for service shops, fleet facilities, and technicians managing high-volume cleaning tasks.

This degreaser suits a wide range of trade and industrial cleaning scenarios, including removing grease buildup from HVAC equipment exteriors, oil residue from mechanical components, and general dirt accumulation on tools and work surfaces. Its water-based, non-disinfectant composition makes it appropriate for routine maintenance cleaning where a concentrated, dilutable solution is preferred over ready-to-use aerosols or single-use wipes. The 5-gallon pail format reduces per-use cost for shops and service technicians handling repeated cleaning tasks.
