Concrete and cement residue remover GTR Premium - Guard Industry

A cleaner for concrete, cement and oil residues on site equipment; it degreases soiled surfaces. The manufacturer states that it does not attack metal, seals, lacquer, glass, plastic or rubber.

GTR Premium is for mixed soiling: concrete and cement residues together with oils and grease. Where GTN or GTL lift only one layer of the problem, this one does both.

The manufacturer lists the materials the product does not attack: metal, seals, lacquer, glass, plastic, rubber and paint. That matters when washing whole machines rather than individual parts.

It is described as less aggressive than cleaners based on citric, hydrochloric and phosphoric acid.

Equipment is cleaned differently from a surface: the deposit is thicker, and the substrate - metal, rubber, lacquer, seals - is often more sensitive than concrete.

  • Check material compatibility in the technical data. Manufacturers state plainly what the product does not attack.
  • Work on fresh or softened deposits. A product applied at the end of a shift works overnight and the deposit washes off in the morning.
  • Do not let the product dry on the part being cleaned.
  • Rinse thoroughly and dry metal parts before putting equipment away for any length of time.

Manufacturers describe the products in this category as not classified as corrosive, or as irritant only - which does not remove the need for gloves and eye protection.

Can I use these products on block paving?

Do not assume so. They are formulated for metal and equipment, not for absorbent mineral substrates. For surfaces, use the products in "Cleaning and restoration".

What is the difference between a preventive and a cleaning product?

When you use it. A preventive product goes on before the soiling, or right after work, so the deposit never bonds. A cleaning product dissolves a deposit that has already stuck. Some products do both - where that is the case, the technical data says so.

Does the product need neutralising after rinsing?

It depends on the product. Where the manufacturer states that no neutralisation is needed, we have it in the technical data. Where there is no such statement, we do not assume one on the manufacturer's behalf.

When should I choose GTR over GTN?

When the equipment carries both concrete and oil - that is, when washing machines rather than moulds alone. GTN targets concrete build-up only.

The technical sheet and safety data sheet will be available after approval.
