Reaction between chemical agents and soiling
Problem
How to resolve it
Natural oils and fats can be emulsified with
alkaline chemical agents. This can lead to a
heavy build-up of foam.
– Where available use the "OIL“ pro-
gramme.
– This special programme dispenses emul-
sifiers (pH neutral) in the pre-rinse.
– Depending on application use de-foaming
agents that do not contain silicone oils.
Soiling containing high protein levels such
as blood can cause a heavy build-up of
foam when processed with alkaline chem-
ical agents.
– Select a cleaning programme with at least
one short pre-rinse in cold water.
Non-precious metals such aluminium, mag-
nesium and zinc can release hydrogen
when processed with very acidic or alkaline
chemical agents (oxyhydrogen reaction).
– Please observe chemical agent manufac-
turer's instructions
