General Degreaser Thickened with CrystaSenseTM Sapphire

CrystaSense Sapphire produces high viscosity formulations with shear thinning properties.
Improved contact with surfaces means that reduced levels of surfactant can be used to
achieve the same or better cleaning. This thickened degreaser is ideal for cleaning vertical
surfaces such as ovens and kitchen tiles.
