South Coast AQMD has certified Heavy Duty Degreaser as meeting the following requirements to be certified by AQMD as a Clean Air Solvent.

The low VOC requirement of the rules and the availability of the new solvents generate a new class of solvent called Clean Air Solvent (CAS). In order to be qualified, the clean air solvent has to meet all of the following criteria:

1. VOC concentration is no more than 25 grams of VOC per liter of material, as applied;
2. Composite vapor pressure is no more than 5 mm Hg of VOC at 20°C (68°F);
3. Reactivity is not higher than toluene; and,
4. Contains no compounds classified as Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) by the federal Clean Air Act, Ozone-Depleting Compounds (ODCs), or Global Warming Compounds (GWCs).

Water Works Heavy Duty Degreaser is a non-hazardous, water based, surfactant. Therefore it does not contain any chelating ingredients such as EDTA, phosphates or chlorinated solvents. This way you don’t have to worry about toxicity.  Heavy Duty Degreaser is not soy based either.

Unlike traditional chemistry such as mineral spirits, high alkaline or hazardous chemicals, Water Works Heavy Duty Degreaser uses the power of water.  Water is proven safe for the material being cleaned, the trained worker and is environmentally responsible.  That is why it is the base of all our degreasers.
