GPC201 General Purpose Cleaner is an alkaline cleaner and degreaser for workshops, fleets and detailers, in 5L, 20L, 200L and 1000L IBC packs.

What it does

GPC201 does two jobs from one container. Sierra's catalogue says to let it down with water as a general cleaner, and to use it neat, or at up to 5:1 with water, as a degreaser. The SDS describes it as a lightly alkaline blend of detergents with a pH of 13, containing sodium hydroxide (under 2%) and tetrapotassium pyrophosphate (under 5%). It is an amber liquid with a slight smell. It carries a Danger label, so wear full PPE.

Where to use it

Sierra lists hard surfaces, vinyl hood linings, wheels, vehicle interiors, fabrics, truck side curtains, awnings and marquees. It suits fleet depots, hire yards and detailing bays. For pH sensitive surfaces, our APC pH Neutral Degreaser is the gentler pick. See all degreasers.

How to use

1. Put on goggles, a face shield and impervious gloves.
2. For degreasing, use GPC201 neat or mix up to 5 parts water to 1 part product.
3. For general cleaning, dilute further. Sierra does not publish an exact rate, so start weak and strengthen as needed.
4. Apply with a sprayer, brush or cloth and work the soil loose.
5. Rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water.

Safe on / avoid

At pH 13 it is a strong alkali, so trial it on a hidden spot of paint, polished metal or coloured fabric first. Keep it off skin and out of eyes. High heat can fade the colour and make bottles panel, so store it cool. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
