Changing containers mid-day during a wash is a waste of time and an extra step with a corrosive product. Available in a 20L container , the super-concentrated degreasing detergent DET 5 is ideal for high-consumption sites: it directly feeds a dilution system , fills a degreasing fountain , or supplies a pressure washer tank for several days of work. Its formula completely removes road film from truck bodies , tarpaulins , chassis , and steel rims , and also serves as a cold degreaser for engines and mechanical parts . Diluted from 1% to 5% depending on the equipment, a single container prepares up to 2,000 liters of solution . It contains corrosion inhibitors , offers antistatic properties , and its formula is phosphate- and EDTA- free . It should not be used on aluminum or light alloys . It is used in car washes , heavy goods vehicle workshops , by transport companies , local authorities , and public works firms . Danger : causes severe skin burns and serious eye damage; wearing gloves, protective clothing, and safety glasses is mandatory.
