reactions between processing chemicals and dirt
Effect
Action
In combination with alkaline processing
chemicals, loads with soiling that
contains proteins, e.g. blood, can
cause excessive foaming.
– Select a wash program with one or
more short pre-rinses with cold
water.
In combination with very acidic or
alkaline processing chemicals, base
metals such as aluminum, magnesium
and zinc can release hydrogen
(explosive oxyhydrogen gas reactions).
– Observe the instructions of the
manufacturer of the processing
chemicals.
