Lower sodium hydroxide content (\u0026lt;0.10%), a GHS Warning (not Danger) signal word, and an NFPA Health rating of 1 position this as the right choice for general janitorial programs, school facilities, offices, retail spaces, and household cleaning operations where frequent use across multiple surface types is needed without the higher-strength chemistry of the MA5X Black or MA5X Industrial degreasers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Differs from the MA5X Black \u0026amp; Industrial Degreasers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three products share the same base formulation, but concentration and pH tell the story of where each belongs. The All-Purpose (pH 11-12, NFPA Health 1) is formulated for daily general cleaning and light degreasing on finished surfaces, food service areas, and occupied environments. The Black Degreaser (pH 12-13, NFPA Health 2) is for heavy commercial degreasing on fleet vehicles, engines, and industrial surfaces. The Industrial Degreaser (pH 13-14, NFPA Health 2) is for maximum-strength applications on heavy manufacturing equipment and extreme contamination. When in doubt about which product is right for your application, start with the All-Purpose and step up only if results require it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMildest degreaser in the MA5X drum lineup - pH 11-12:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lower alkalinity and reduced sodium hydroxide content (\u0026lt;0.10%) make this the appropriate choice for daily cleaning on finished wood, painted surfaces, food preparation areas, tile, stainless steel, and general commercial surfaces that require frequent treatment without aggressive chemistry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7,040-14,080 applications per drum:\u003c\/strong\u003e At approximately 1 fl oz per application, one drum delivers 7,040 treatments at $0.04 each.
