Safety data sheet
Technical data sheet

1. What is Coo-Var Universal Degreaser used for?

Coo-Var Universal Degreaser is a solvent-based cleaner designed to remove stubborn oil, grease, and grime. It’s particularly useful for prepping surfaces prior to painting or acid etching, ensuring optimal adhesion and finish quality.

2. How do I apply Coo-Var Universal Degreaser?

Simply apply the product to a rag or cloth, then wipe down the affected area. The degreaser dissolves contaminants quickly, allowing for easy, targeted cleaning—ideal for spot treatments or smaller areas.

3. Can I use this product on any surface?

While it’s versatile and effective on most hard surfaces, always test on a small, inconspicuous patch first. Check the product datasheet or consult our experts if you’re unsure about compatibility with delicate or coated materials.

4. Is this degreaser suitable for large floor areas?

Yes, but you may find it more convenient to use in smaller sections due to its fast-drying solvent nature. For extensive floor areas, ensure proper ventilation and follow all safety recommendations. Coo-Var Oil Remover is more suited for larger areas.

5. Does it leave any residue after cleaning?

When used correctly, Coo-Var Universal Degreaser evaporates quickly and does not leave a noticeable residue. However, wiping the surface thoroughly and allowing it to dry fully is essential for the best results.

6. Why is it important to degrease before painting or acid etching?

Removing oil, grease, and other contaminants helps paint or coatings adhere properly. Skipping this step can lead to peeling, flaking, or uneven finishes, reducing the longevity and quality of your project.

7. What safety precautions should I take?

Use in a well-ventilated area, wear suitable protective gear (gloves, goggles), and avoid open flames or sparks, as this is a solvent-based product. Consult the product datasheet for full safety guidelines.
