Turbo Spin Wash Parts Powder is an alkaline parts cleaning powder that mechanics dissolve in workshop spin washers, sold in 10kg and 20kg packs.

What it does

Sierra designed Turbo Spin Wash for spin washers, the cabinet parts cleaners common in workshops. Its SDS, issued as Safety Parts Wash Powder (Turbo Wash), gives the intended use as parts cleaning and degreasing. The white, odourless powder is built on sodium metasilicate (30 to 50%) and sodium gluconate (20 to 30%), with sodium hydroxide under 10%. A 10% solution in water reads pH 12.7. It is corrosive, so it is a Class 8 dangerous good and a Schedule 6 poison.

Where to use it

Cabinet and spin style parts washers in mechanical workshops, fleet depots, engine reconditioners and plant maintenance bays. For hand washing parts at a solvent sink, see Safety Parts Cleaning Solvent or the other degreasers in our range.

How to use

1. Wear safety goggles and nitrile gloves, and a respirator if dust is likely.
2. Fill the washer with water to the maker's level. Sierra does not publish a dose, so follow the washer maker's guide or ask us.
3. Add the powder slowly, as it can give off heat when it meets water.
4. Run the wash cycle, then rinse the parts with clean water.
5. Reseal the pack straight away to keep moisture out.

Safe on / avoid

Made for parts washer use. Sierra's SDS lists aluminium, zinc and copper as incompatible, so talk to us before washing alloy parts. Keep it away from acids and chlorinated solvents. Avoid raising dust. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
