Permatex 25116 Hand Cleaner

When you are finishing a teardown or handling a compressor burnout, you need a technical grade hand cleaner that cuts through multi-generational grease without destroying your hands. The Permatex 25116 Fast Orange Hand Cleaner is a 15 oz concentrated pumice-infused lotion engineered for the heavy-duty demands of the HVACR trade. Unlike standard soaps, this formula utilizes natural citrus d-Limonene to dissolve refrigerant oils, gasket cements, thread sealants, and industrial adhesives on contact. The integrated micro-pumice scrubbers provide the mechanical action required to lift grit from deep within skin pores and around knuckles where contaminants often settle.

This professional strength waterless cleaner is formulated with a petroleum solvent-free base, protecting your skin’s lipid barrier from the cracking and drying common with mineral spirit-based cleaners. To maintain technician hand health during high-call seasons, it is enriched with a proprietary blend of lanolin, aloe vera, and jojoba oil. The 15 oz squeeze bottle is a essential addition to any service truck, providing a biodegradable solution that works efficiently without the need for a water source, ensuring you leave the job site clean and professional.

• High-Efficiency Degreasing: Rapidly breaks down vacuum pump oils, tar, and pipe dope using natural citrus power.
• Non-Sensitizing Formula: Contains no harsh chemicals or ammonia, preventing the stinging of minor cuts or abrasions.
• Waterless Performance: Ideal for rooftop units or remote mechanical rooms where sink access is unavailable.
• Advanced Skin Conditioning: Infused with premium emollients to prevent occupational dermatitis and chapping.
• Drain-Safe Pumice: Uses fine-grain volcanic pumice that will not clog shop or residential plumbing systems.

Is Fast Orange effective against specialized HVAC sealants and epoxies?
Yes, the MicroGel technology and d-Limonene concentration are designed to lift tenacious residues like gasket cement, epoxy resins, and HVAC duct sealants more effectively than standard detergents.

Can this be used on sensitive equipment surfaces or tool handles?
While primarily a hand cleaner, its no-petroleum distillate profile makes it safe for wiping down plastic tool housings and metal surfaces where oil transfer is a concern, though rinsing is recommended for non-skin applications.

Why choose the pumice formula over the smooth version for field service?
The pumice scrubber is necessary for mechanical agitation to remove localized carbon deposits, oxidized oil, and heavy grime that chemical cleaners alone cannot fully emulsify.
