Hydrocarbon Cleaner / Degreaser - ESHC
ESHC – HYDROCARBON CLEANER / DEGREASER
Note: Previously known as EC-1800
ESHC is an environmentally safe, non-hazardous, biodegradable formulation for use in removing fresh and aged petroleum hydrocarbons from both hard and porous surfaces. When used as directed, ESHC will effectively clean, liquefy and degrade a wide range of hydrocarbons including gasoline, diesel, motor oil, crude oil, glycol, hydraulic fluid, benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylene, etc. ESHC is safe for use on gravel, sand, railroad ballast, concrete, brick, asphalt, metal, rubber, plastics, porcelain, wood, textiles, etc. Our Earth Smart Hydrocarbon Cleaner does NOT contain acids, caustics, chemicals, petroleum distillates or VOC’s and is D-Limonene free. In addition, ESHC is environmentally friendly and leaves no residue.

**Application notes**
ESHC does not vaporize. It is not odorous and does not damage human tissue. It is safe to use in and around food prep areas and commercial kitchens. It is biodegradable and is NOT DOT regulated. ESHC constituents are NOT CERCLA hazardous (40 CFR 302.4), or SARA toxic (40 CFR 372, subpart D) and unused ESHC would not be considered a hazardous waste (40 CFR 261, subparts C, D, Appendix VIII).
APPLICATIONS TO HARD SURFACES (concrete, steel, cast, aluminum, wood, glass, etc.):
1. Dilute at a rate of 1:10 – 1:20 in water and apply to the affected area
2. Allow sufficient contact time (typically, 10 – 20 minutes) for the product to loosen or dissolve deposits. Do not allow to dry - Keep the area moist by misting with diluted solution or water. For aged stains, agitate, using a fibre pad or brush. Typically, the longer the contact time, the less agitation will be required
3. Rinse or flush with water. Where rinsing is not possible, wipe with wet cloth or sponge
Please Note:
ESHC was developed to remove fresh and aged petroleum hydrocarbons from both hard and porous surfaces. Earth Smart Solutions has not tested the effectiveness of ESHC to remove Thompson's Water Seal from wood decks and does not guarantee it's effectiveness when used for this application.
