Hecta - Anti-Bacterial Alkaline Power Cleaner

Oil. Grease. Algae. Diesel residue. Gone! Permanon Hecta is a highly concentrated, alkaline power cleaner formulated to cut through stubborn grime in a single pass.1L makes 33L at 3% dilution and treats up to 530m². It strips the organic film that bacteria thrive on, so your surface seal performs at its best.

Surfaces and Cleaning Coverage

Developed to break down contamination that everyday cleaning products cannot penetrate — oil, grease, fuel residue, diesel and heating oil contamination, moss and algae, and any kind of fat or oil build-up. 

And because Hecta is the recommended pre-clean step before applying Permanon’s surface sealants, it plays a direct role in setting up the hydrophobic, germ-resistant surface protection examined in independent research on Permanon's nano coating technology.

Dilution Ratio and Application

Permanon Hecta is a professional-grade concentrate that mixes with regular tap water in minutes. Dilution rate depends on the severity of contamination.

Dilution:

•       For stubborn contamination: For stubborn contamination: mix Permanon Hecta at 5% with water. A 1-litre concentrate makes 20 litres of diluted solution. A 500ml concentrate makes 10 litres of diluted solution.

•       For general cleaning: For general degreasing and maintenance, a 3% solution is sufficient. A 1-litre concentrate makes 33 litres of diluted solution. A 500ml concentrate makes 16 litres of diluted solution.

•       For large areas: For light surface cleaning or large-area application, a 2% solution can be used. A 1-litre concentrate makes up to 50 litres of diluted solution.

Important Notes:

•       Vary the dilution ratio according to the severity of contamination — use up to 10% for the most extreme build-up.

•       Do not apply in direct sunlight.

Application Instructions:

1.     Mix Permanon Hecta to the appropriate dilution for the level of contamination (see guide above).

2.     Apply or mist the solution onto the surface to be cleaned, ensuring full coverage of the contaminated area.

3.     For heavy contamination, allow the product to soak for a few minutes before agitating with a sponge, cloth, or soft brush.

4.     Rinse with clean water, or wipe excess product off with a water-damp cloth directly after application.

Note: Permanon Hecta is a heavy-duty degreasing cleaner, not a surface sealant. For ongoing surface protection after cleaning, use Permanon Silver Line, Gold Line, Profi-Line Plus, or Diamond depending on the surface type.

Product Depth

Permanon Hecta is the heavy-duty answer to contamination that everyday cleaning products cannot remove. Its highly concentrated alkaline formula is purpose-built to break down oil, grease, fuel, diesel, and algae — the stubborn organic residues that build up on engines, transmissions, mechanical equipment, marine hulls, and commercial kitchen surfaces over time. Where other cleaners stall and require repeated applications or harsh scrubbing, Hecta continues to perform, setting new standards in environmentally responsible cleaning productivity. Despite its strength, Hecta is biodegradable to OECD standards, phosphate-free, and solvent-free — a formula that delivers genuinely industrial-grade results without the environmental trade-offs of traditional alkaline degreasers.

Beyond its standalone cleaning power, Hecta plays an important supporting role in Permanon's broader approach to surface hygiene. Independent research into Permanon's Si14 nano surface coatings — including studies showing reduced viability of bacteria such as E. coli and S. aureus, and reduced bacterial adherence on stainless steel, polycarbonate, and glass — consistently emphasises that effective surface sealing depends on starting with a genuinely clean, contamination-free surface. Organic residue, oils, and biofilm-supporting grime can interfere with how well a sealant bonds and performs. By thoroughly degreasing and decontaminating a surface first, Hecta ensures that a follow-up application of Permanon Sanides, Silver Line, or another surface sealant can form the hydrophobic, germ-resistant barrier these studies examined — making Hecta the foundational first step for any business or household serious about long-term surface hygiene and protection.
