The cost

Count the cleaning products on your shelf.

Most workshops have four or five, bought at different times for different jobs, and nobody has ever added up what they cost in a year. Hamba degreaser is one concentrate, mixed to the job: 1 to 1 on fifth-wheel grease, 30 to 1 on the workshop floor. A 25L drum makes 775 litres of floor cleaner — R1.78 a litre, ready to use.

How to use it

Apply. Leave. Agitate. Rinse.

One drum, mixed to the job. Neat at 1 to 1 for fifth-wheel grease, 30 to 1 for the workshop floor — where a 25L drum makes 775 litres at R1.78 a litre. Work out what yours costs.

Pack sizes

Four packs. One concentrate.

It is a concentrate. Compare what a bucket costs you, not what the drum costs.

Clean, derust, protect

Clean it with Hamba degreaser. Protect it with Corrosion Assassin.

Parts that come out clean and then flash-rust before they go back into service have cost you the cleaning twice. Corrosion Assassin removes the rust and leaves a temporary protective film that holds through storage and transit. It does not work reliably on an oily surface, which is why the degreasing comes first.

Safety and documents

Data sheets

“Degreaser MSDS” is one of the things a buyer searches for before they order. These go here as direct downloads, no form.

Not published yet. The safety and product data sheets for Hamba degreaser are outstanding. This page cannot go live without them — procurement and safety officers search for the data sheet before they order, and the page would lose the buyer at the last step. As soon as Gary supplies both, they appear here as direct downloads and the page can publish.
Before you buy

The questions buyers actually ask.

What does Hamba degreaser clean?

Engines, components, fifth-wheel grease and workshop floors. One concentrate, mixed to the job rather than a different product for each.

Is it a concentrate?

Yes. It is supplied as a concentrate and mixed with water to suit the job — 1 to 1 on the heaviest grease, 30 to 1 on floors.

What dilution do I use on a workshop floor?

30 to 1. A 25L drum makes 775 litres of ready-to-use floor cleaner at R1.78 a litre.

What dilution do I use on fifth wheels?

1 to 1. That is the heaviest setting, for fifth-wheel grease and worst-case plant.

What about engines and components?

Mixed to the job, between those two ends. The exact ratio is being confirmed and will be published here when it is — we would rather leave it blank than guess at it.

How far does a drum go?

At 30 to 1, a 5L can makes 155 litres, a case of four makes 620, and a 25L drum makes 775. An IBC makes 31,000.

What packs can I buy?

5L, a case of four 5L, 25L, and a 1000L IBC on enquiry. Prices on this page include VAT.

How do I order and pay?

Press an order button and fill in the form. We invoice you, and dispatch once payment clears. There is no card payment and no cart.

Do you deliver?

Yes, countrywide. Tell us the delivery town on the order form.

What do I use if the part is rusty, not just greasy?

Degrease with Hamba degreaser first, then Corrosion Assassin for the rust — it is not reliable on an oily surface. There is a link to it further up this page.
