Hammersley Detar Bitumen and Blackjack Degreaser Aerosol - Degreasers - Hammersley - Image 1
Description

Hammersley Detar Aerosol is a 400g can of plant based degreaser for spot jobs on tar, blackjack and heavy grease. Minimum order 12 cans.

What it does

The can puts Detar on one gear, chassis rail or splash mark without hosing the whole machine. Hammersley's data sheet says it penetrates heavy deposits fast so the loosened grease, tar or asphalt rinses off with water, and the label adds that it leaves no residue and holds no petroleum solvents. The propellant is carbon dioxide, under 10 per cent by the SDS, and that is why the can is Class 2.2, a non flammable gas.

Where to use it

  • General degreasing on cars, trucks, forklifts and workshop machinery
  • Heavy grease on gears and the parts around them
  • Tar, asphalt and blackjack on road gear and mining machinery
  • Oil and grease on transport and fuel delivery trucks

More in our Degreasers, including Citramax Solvent for glue and decal residue.

How to use

  1. Spray generously over the whole area to be cleaned.
  2. Where practical, leave it up to 5 minutes to penetrate.
  3. Rinse off with water under pressure, and go again on stubborn spots.

Safe on / avoid

Test a small hidden patch on paint, rubber or plastic trim first. Keep the can shaded and under 50°C, and do not puncture or burn it, even empty. Never spray towards a flame or other ignition source, and keep enough airflow to hold carbon dioxide below the SDS exposure limits. Store away from oxidising agents, acids and alkalis. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.

Questions
▸Is Detar Aerosol flammable?

The can is labelled non flammable and the SDS classes it a Category 3 aerosol. It is still pressurised and may burst if heated.

▸Why does a degreaser spray can travel as dangerous goods?

It is pressurised. Section 14 of the SDS lists UN 1950, AEROSOLS, Class 2.2, with no packing group.

▸Is the aerosol the same as bulk Detar?

Hammersley lists the 400g can with the bulk packs as one Detar line. Each has its own SDS, and the eye irritation classification sits on the bulk liquid, not the can.

▸How long should Detar Aerosol sit before rinsing?

Up to 5 minutes where practical, then rinse under pressure.

▸Is Detar Aerosol made for trade use?

Yes. The can is labelled for professional use and marked Australian made and owned.
