Overview

Bradite Industrial Degreaser TD39 is an alkaline, non-caustic, low-foaming aqueous detergent formulated as a degreasing pre-treatment for soiled and contaminated surfaces prior to painting. Suitable for use on all substrates including concrete, plastic, fibreglass, steel, and all painted finishes, it provides a safe and economical alternative to solvent-based degreasers.

TD39 effectively removes grease, oil, road dirt, and general surface contamination that would otherwise prevent paint from adhering correctly. Diluted at a ratio of one part TD39 to nine parts warm water, a single litre covers up to 20m² - making it highly economical across large surface areas.

With a mild odour and a formula that will not taint food contact surfaces at usage concentrations, TD39 is suitable for use in a wide range of commercial, industrial, and food-related environments. Supplied ready to dilute and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified management systems.
