DP Cleanse-All question for Autogeek....

[WRAPT C5Z06]

Does it contain any acids, butyl, or butyl ethers?

[embolism]

did you mean Autogeek or Autogeeks?

if the latter, maybe Bob or Jon will answer...
:D

Hi Mark...

As you may suspect...I enjoy these types of questions you pose! :D

Although I can't personally speak for either the AutoGeek company, or the Chemists that have formulated the DP Cleanse-All product, I think I'll put my in my $1.00-2.98 anyway. Hope it doesn't offend anyone...Especially those that have ownership of DP Cleanse-All!!

First:
According to this product's description it is a strong alkaline cleaner....That should answer the acid question, IMO.

Second:
Butyl is the catch-all name for any of four different alcohol
chemical compounds. Butyl alcohols have been known to be used in solvents.

Third:
Butyl Ethers are a little more complex to describe in a "Reader's Digest Condensed" version. They are: dihydroxy alcohols.


Some different names/synonyms of Butyl Ethers are:
2-Butoxy ethanol; Butyl cellosolve; Dowanol EB; Butyl oxitol;
Ethylene glycol n-butyl ether; n-Butyl Cellosolve; Ethylene Glycol Mono-n-butyl Ether; butoxyethanol; Beta-butoxyethanol; Ethylene glycol butyl ether; n-butoxyethanol; 2-butoxy-1-ethanol; o-butyl ethylene glycol; glycol ether eb acetate; monobutyl ether of ethylene glycol; monobutyl glycol ether; 3-oxa-1-heptanol; poly-solv eb; 2-n-Butoxyethanol; 2-n-Butoxy-1-ethanol


Some of Butyl Ethers uses are:
-Anti-freezing and anti-icing additive
-Intermediate in polymer production and chemical reaction
-Solvent or plasticizer for plastic, lacquer, paint and varnish
-Hydraulic, brake, thermal exchange fluids and fuel additive
-Humidifying and plasticizing
-Dehydrating
-Coupling printing inks
-Textile conditioning
-Solvent for dyes in textile and leather finishing
-Agricultural formulation
-General purpose cleaners
-Explosives manufacture
-Electrolytic component
-Humectant
-Water-based coating
-Preservative, rust remover, and disinfectant

The three Butyl Ethers most commonly used are:
-mono ethylene glycol (MEG), from whence, as by-products:
-diethylene glycol (DEG); and..
-triethylene glycol (TEG)... are extracted/produced depending on market demand.
-TEG is being used as a replacement for DEG in many applications because it is considered less toxic.
-TEG is used as a solvent in many miscellaneous applications.


NOTE:
I'm not saying that DP Cleans-All contains any of the above "chemical compositions". Only the formulators/owner(s) of said product will know for sure. IMHO...It is formulated to be safe when used as directed!

An MSDS would be of great service....Perhaps one can be obtained when purchasing this particular DP product. Hope So!
