What Is JetLube EASY-CLEAN Liquid and How Does It Work?
JetLube EASY-CLEAN Liquid is an alkaline-based cleaner and degreaser formulated at pH 14 with a specific gravity of 1.07. It combines conventional cleaning agents with newly developed emulsifying technology that effectively removes carbon, grease, oil, and other organic deposits from industrial surfaces. The product is nonflammable, non-fuming, biodegradable, nontoxic, and water-soluble — making it a practical choice for facilities managing environmental and atmospheric compliance.
EASY-CLEAN Liquid contains no 1:1:1 Trichloroethane, no fluorocarbons, no SARA Title III Section 313 Part 372 listed ingredients, no acids, no chlorides, no phosphates, and no TTOs (Total Toxic Organic Compounds). Its VOC content is 0 g/L. The flash point (PMCC Closed Cup, ASTM D93) is none to 212°F, and the auto ignition point is none to 500°F — both reflecting its noncombustible nature.
In concentrated form, EASY-CLEAN Liquid can be corrosive to aluminum and its alloys, so surface compatibility should be confirmed before application on aluminum-containing equipment.
What Are the Physical Properties of JetLube EASY-CLEAN Liquid?
Understanding the physical profile helps maintenance engineers select the correct dilution, spray pressure, and application method. Key values sourced directly from the product data sheet:
- Specific Gravity: 1.07
- pH: 14
- Viscosity: 4.5 cPs
- Flash Point (PMCC Closed Cup, ASTM D93): None to 212°F
- Auto Ignition Point: None to 500°F
- Vapor Pressure @ 20°C: Composite <0.04
- Evaporation Rate: <1 (Butyl Acetate = 1)
- Vapor Density (Air = 1): >1
- Boiling Point: 212°F (100°C)
- Freezing Point: 28°F
- VOC: 0 g/L
The low evaporation rate and zero VOC content align with regulatory requirements in many jurisdictions where solvent-based degreasers face restriction. The product’s noncombustible classification supports use in areas where flammable chemicals are prohibited.
How Should You Dilute EASY-CLEAN Liquid for Different Applications?
EASY-CLEAN Liquid can be diluted with ordinary tap water or salt water, though salt water reduces cleaning effectiveness. The correct dilution ratio depends on deposit severity, ambient temperature, and cycle time. The product data sheet specifies the following E-C Liquid to Water ratios by application type:
- 1:10 — Drilling and Construction Equipment (heaviest buildup)
- 1:30 — Upholstery, Interiors, Carpet
- 1:40 — Fuel Oil Truck Bodies, General Cleaning
- 1:50 — High Pressure Sprayers at 150–300 psi Cold Water
- 1:100 — 150–300 psi Hot Water; also 500–800 psi Cold Water
- 1:200 — 500–800 psi Hot Water (maximum dilution)
For drum-based use, the data sheet instructs pouring a five-gallon pail into a drum and then filling the remainder with water. After application, the surface should be rinsed and wiped dry. Color fastness testing is recommended prior to use on upholstery and interior surfaces.
What Application Methods Are Supported?
EASY-CLEAN Liquid is engineered for versatility across multiple cleaning techniques. The data sheet identifies the following supported methods:
- Parts degreasing
- Pressure washing
- Steam cleaning
- Ultrasound cleaning
- Brush or spray application followed by water rinse or wipe-down
This range makes a single product suitable for both field washing of oilfield and construction equipment and controlled shop degreasing, reducing the number of SKUs a maintenance operation needs to stock.
What Industries and Equipment Types Is EASY-CLEAN Liquid Designed For?
The product data sheet lists the following target markets: Construction, Oilfield Equipment, Metal Fabrication, Industrial, Residential, Marine, and Utilities. The 1:10 dilution ratio — the most concentrated recommended mix — is specifically called out for Drilling and Construction Equipment, indicating the product is designed to handle the heavy hydrocarbon and carbon fouling typical of frac and rig wash service.

- Dilution ratios range from 1:10 for heavy drilling and construction equipment to 1:200 for 500–800 psi hot-water pressure washing.
- Supported application methods include pressure washing, steam cleaning, ultrasound cleaning, parts degreasing, and brush or spray application.
- Concentrated EASY-CLEAN Liquid is corrosive to aluminum and its alloys; verify substrate compatibility before use.
Step-by-step
- Determine deposit severity, ambient temperature, and available equipment to select the appropriate dilution ratio from 1:10 (heavy drilling equipment) to 1:200 (high-pressure hot-water sprayers).
- Pour a five-gallon pail of EASY-CLEAN Liquid concentrate into a drum, then fill the remainder of the drum with ordinary tap water to achieve the target ratio.
- Apply the diluted solution using the selected method — pressure washer, steam cleaner, ultrasound unit, or brush/spray — at the specified psi range for the dilution chosen.
- Rinse the surface thoroughly with water and wipe dry.
- Test for color fastness before applying to upholstery, interior surfaces, or carpet.
- Confirm substrate compatibility before applying concentrated product near aluminum or aluminum alloys.
