Solwash Kerosene is Sierra's clear deodorised kerosene for parts washers and degreasing in workshops and plant sheds, sold in 20 L drums.

What it does

Sierra makes Solwash for parts cleaning and degreasing, and describes it as a premium clear, deodorised kerosene that can be used in parts washers. On the SDS it is a low aromatic white spirit cut with a 38°C flash point that boils over roughly 145 to 300°C, so it evaporates slowly and stays wet on a part long enough to soften grease and oil. It floats on water rather than mixing.

Where to use it

Mechanical workshops, fleet depots, farm and mining maintenance sheds, and engineering shops. Parts washers and brush tanks, engine and driveline components, bearings, tools and machinery. Part of our solvents and thinners range.

How to use

1. Fill the parts washer or tray to the maker's level.
2. Brush or soak the part until the grease softens, then scrub.
3. Let the part drain back into the tray, then air dry or blow off in a ventilated area.
4. Change the solvent once it is loaded with sludge and send the waste to a licensed collector.

Safe on / avoid

Suits steel, cast iron, aluminium and most metal parts. Test rubber seals, plastics and painted surfaces first. The SDS says to store it away from aerosols, strong oxidants and corrosives, and out of the sun. Check your parts washer is rated for a flammable solvent. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
