Recochem High Flash Kerosene L70 is a slow drying solvent degreaser for heavy workshop and plant cleaning. Non-DG, in 20 L drums, 200 L drums and IBCs.

What it does

Recochem sells it as Recosol L70, and the SDS (version 1.1, 9 Nov 2026) lists kerosene at 100 per cent. Recochem's data sheet gives roughly 11 per cent aromatics, which it rates as more pleasant to work with than high aromatic solvents. It dissolves grease, oil and many organic compounds and evaporates slowly, so less is lost from trays. A flash point above 65°C makes it combustible, regulated for storage, and it travels as general freight.

Where to use it

• Heavy degreasing of engine, gearbox and plant components
• Parts trays and soak baths where slow drying keeps losses down
• Formulas that need a high flash point and low evaporation

Part of our Solvents and Thinners range. For a standard Class 3 kerosene, compare Recochem Kerosene Clear.

How to use

1. Use it as supplied. Brush it on, or soak parts in a tray or bath.
2. Give heavy grease time to soften, then scrub and let the part drain back into the tray.
3. Wipe dry or leave to air dry.
4. When pumping, earth and bond the drum, avoid splash filling and never move it with compressed air.

Safe on / avoid

Suits steel, cast iron and most metal parts. Test rubber, plastic and painted parts before soaking them. Keep it apart from oxidisers such as nitrates, chlorine bleach and pool chlorine, which can ignite it. Do not weld on drums, even empty ones. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
