Description:

Soudal Cleaner & Degreaser is a high-performance, professional-grade solvent designed for rapid surface preparation and maintenance. This quick-drying formula effectively dissolves grease, oil, tar, and wax, making it an essential tool for any workshop or trade site. Whether you are degreasing mechanical parts or ensuring a surface is perfectly clean before bonding, this spray delivers a residue-free finish every time.

Available in a standard 400ml aerosol or with the Genius Gun applicator, this cleaner offers unmatched versatility. The Genius Gun version features a built-in straw and a precision trigger, allowing you to target specific areas without overspray. As a critical part of our technical aerosols range, it is the industry standard for preparing substrates before the application of sealants and adhesives.

Why Choose Soudal Cleaner & Degreaser?

Proper surface preparation is the secret to a long-lasting bond. If a surface is contaminated with grease or old residue, even the strongest adhesive will eventually fail.

  • Ultimate Surface Prep: This formula is designed to remove uncured MS, PU, and silicone sealants. It ensures that your new application of Soudal Fix All or other sealants achieves maximum adhesion.

  • Fast-Drying & Residue-Free: Unlike some heavy degreasers that leave an oily film, this cleaner evaporates rapidly and leaves the surface bone-dry and ready for work within seconds.

  • Multi-Material Compatibility: It is safe for use on most common trade materials, including metals, PVC, and various plastics. It’s a versatile “all-rounder” for mechanical assembly and cleaning.

  • 360° Application: The advanced valve system allows you to spray at any angle, making it easy to clean the underside of machinery or tight engine bays.

Features and Benefits:

  • Powerful Solvent Action: Quickly breaks down tar, grease, wax, and heavy oils.

  • Removes Uncured Sealant: Perfect for cleaning up mistakes or wiping down tools after using polyurethane or silicone products.

  • No Residue: Leaves the substrate perfectly clean for painting, coating, or bonding.

  • Genius Gun Precision: The lockable trigger and permanent straw mean you always have the right applicator ready for precise degreasing.

  • Efficient Maintenance: Ideal for cleaning mechanical components like gears, chains, and axles.

FAQs

Can I use this to remove old, hardened silicone?

Soudal Cleaner & Degreaser is highly effective at removing uncured (wet) sealants. To remove old, hardened silicone, you should first use the Soudal Sealant Remover to break the chemical bond, followed by mechanical scraping

How long do I need to wait after cleaning before applying adhesive?

The formula is designed to be fast-drying. In most New Zealand conditions, the surface will be ready for bonding or sealing within a minute of application. Ensure the solvent has completely evaporated before applying your product.

Is it safe to use on PVC window frames?

Yes, it is generally safe for PVC and is frequently used by installers to clean up grease or sealant marks on window and door frames during assembly.

What makes the Genius Gun better for degreasing?

The 400ml Genius Gun version features a comfortable trigger, a built‑in foldable straw, and a lockable trigger to prevent accidental discharge. Use it with the straw down for a standard spray, or lift the straw up for precise application. With the applicator integrated into the design, you’ll never lose the straw again.

With the straw up, this allows a high-pressure pinpoint spraying. This is particularly useful for blasting grease out of tight mechanical crevices where a standard wide spray wouldn’t reach.
