Citramax Solvent - Degreasers - Sierra - Image 1

Description

Citramax Solvent is a citrus oil cleaning solvent for glue, decal residue, grease, bitumen and fresh graffiti, sold in 5L (lots of 4) and 20L packs.

What it does

Citramax uses the natural cutting power of citrus oil. Sierra pitches it as a strong cleaner for jobs that need a solvent, without the sharp smell of turps, kero or white spirits. The SDS lists d-limonene under 50% with dimethyl glutarate, adipate and succinate esters. The liquid runs clear to yellow, smells of citrus and has a flash point above 75ºC. Sierra notes that flammability cautions still apply because it is a natural solvent.

Where to use it

Sierra lists sticker and decal glue, grease and oil, bitumen on painted two pack surfaces, most fresh graffiti tags, and ink in the printing trade. Upholsterers, windscreen fitters and crews maintaining conveyor belts, escalators and lifts all use it. Browse our degreasers, or see Tar and Glue Remover for vehicle panels.

How to use

Wear safety goggles and nitrile gloves, and work with good airflow.
Wet a clean rag or brush with Citramax and apply it to the residue.
Give it time to soften the glue, ink or bitumen.
Wipe away, then wash the area with water and detergent.
Bag used rags and dispose of them with chemical waste, not in drains.

Safe on / avoid

Sierra says it lifts bitumen from painted two pack finishes. Test first on single stage paint, plastics, rubber and fabric. It can cause skin allergy, so do not let it soak into clothing, and keep contaminated work wear at the workplace. Keep it away from heat, sparks and strong oxidisers. It is very toxic to aquatic life, so never rinse it to a drain. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
