Safety First, Performance Always: Why VG 2020 is the Safest, Most Effective Solvency Degreaser for Your Industry

When it comes to industrial degreasing, maintenance and production managers have historically faced a difficult trade-off: choose a solvent that’s powerful enough to cut through heavy-duty grime, or choose one that’s safe for your team and the environment. Powerful hydrocarbon-based solvents often come with a host of risks, from high VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions and flammability to serious health hazards for operators.

But what if you didn’t have to compromise?

From our product line at iBiotec, NEUTRALENE® VG 2020 represents a revolution in solvency degreasing. It is a high-performance bio-solvent designed to replace traditional hazardous solvents, delivering exceptional cleaning power without compromising on safety.

Here’s a breakdown of what makes VG 2020 the safest and most effective choice for your toughest jobs.

Unparalleled Safety Benefits

The primary design principle behind VG 2020 is safety. It systematically removes the risks associated with old-school degreasers, creating a safer work environment for everyone.

100% Non-Flammable: With an exceptionally high flash point of over 170°C, VG 2020 is classified as non-flammable. This critical feature eliminates the risk of fire or explosion, even in confined spaces. It’s so stable, it can be safely used on surfaces as hot as 160°C without emitting hazardous vapours.
Zero VOCs and Low Odour: VG 2020 has zero Volatile Organic Compounds. This is a massive win for both operator health and environmental compliance, improving air quality and protecting your team from inhaling harmful fumes.
Completely Non-Hazardous: We can guarantee that VG 2020 contains zero hazardous, toxic, irritant, or CMR (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Reprotoxic) substances. It’s a solution you can use with confidence, knowing you are not exposing your staff to long-term health risks.
100% Plant-Based & Biodegradable: Derived from renewable, plant-based sources, VG 2020 is readily biodegradable. It offers a sustainable solution that protects our planet, breaking down naturally without harming the environment.

Uncompromising Effectiveness

A product being safe is one thing, but can it perform? Absolutely. VG 2020 is a powerhouse degreaser that meets and exceeds the performance of the caustic, petroleum-based solvents it’s designed to replace.

Incredibly Powerful: With a Kauri-Butanol (KB) value of 180, VG 2020 demonstrates exceptionally high solvent power.
Tackles the Toughest Grease: It is specifically formulated to be highly effective on the heaviest industrial contaminants. It provides immediate dissolution of black jack, tars, crude oil, heavy hydrocarbons, asphalt, combustion residues, and stubborn waxes.
Fast-Acting & Versatile: VG 2020 works immediately on contact, often without the need for significant mechanical scrubbing. It can be used pure for extreme contamination or diluted with water for more general cleaning, making it highly cost-effective.
Residue-Free Rinsing: One of its best features is that it’s completely water-rinsable. Whether you’re using fresh water or sea water (making it ideal for marine and offshore applications), it rinses clean, leaving a residue-free surface.

Who is VG 2020 For?

NEUTRALENE® VG 2020 is the ideal solvency degreaser for any high-risk or heavy-duty industry, including:

Oil & Gas (Onshore & Offshore): Perfect as a rig wash and for cleaning crude oil from equipment.
Refineries & Chemical Sites: Safely decontaminates and degreases tanks, pipes, and boiler casings.
Marine: Ideal for degreasing engine rooms, cargo holds, and decks, with the ability to be rinsed with sea water.
Heavy Industry: Use it in foundries, forges, and smelting operations where you can clean “hot” machinery without waiting for it to cool down.

Make the Switch to Safety and Performance

With NEUTRALENE® VG 2020, the choice is no longer “safety or performance.” You get both. You can eliminate hazardous chemicals from your workplace, protect your team, ensure environmental compliance, and still get the high-performance degreasing power your operation demands.
