Watco Bio-D

- Structural strength solutions
Watco Bio-D is a biodegradable, water based degreaser for removing oil, grease and everyday dirt from concrete floors before painting. Its penetrating formulation lifts contamination from porous surfaces, helping you prepare workshop, warehouse and garage floors for a suitable primer or floor coating.
Use it neat for heavily soiled areas or dilute it for lighter cleaning and routine floor maintenance. The low odour, virtually solvent free formula suits indoor and outdoor work, including bare concrete, asphalt, brickwork, blockwork and sand and cement screeds. It can also clean existing painted floors using the appropriate dilution and a soft broom.
- Concentrated cleaner for floor preparation and ongoing maintenance.
- Biodegradable formulation; rinse thoroughly after use.
- Works with a broom or mechanical scrubbing machine.
Surface Preparation
Sweep away loose dirt and remove excess deposits before cleaning. Heavily contaminated floors should be reasonably dry so the cleaner can work effectively. Use a stiff broom on bare concrete and a soft broom or suitable scrubber on painted surfaces. Check compatibility on an inconspicuous area of existing finishes.

|---|---|
| Pack sizes | 5L and 25L |

Coverage
Allow approximately 20m² per 5L or 100m² per 25L for heavy contamination (4m²/L). Consumption varies with the deposits and surface texture. For lighter contamination before painting, the technical sheet permits up to five parts water to one part cleaner; maintenance dilution can be up to ten parts water.
Directions for Use
- Shake the container. Brush undiluted cleaner into heavily soiled areas and scrub thoroughly.
- Leave for at least 15 minutes, then scrub again to loosen contamination.
- Rinse with clean, cold water while continuing to agitate the surface. Repeat if necessary once the floor is reasonably dry.
- Before applying a primer or coating, remove all cleaner residue and allow the floor to dry thoroughly to that coating's requirements.
Limitations
Collect oil-contaminated wash water and dispose of it appropriately; it must not enter sewers, rainwater drains or watercourses. Biodegradability does not make contaminated washings suitable for disposal down a drain. Read the safety sheet and avoid allowing the product to freeze.
