DISINFECTANTS
Disinfectants kill germs but in general do not clean surfaces. There are several types of disinfectant: amphoterics – which are generally highly effective and of low toxicity; Quats (or QAC) which contain quaternary chemical agents – these normally require measurement of MRLs (Minimum Residual Levels) in the processed foods to ensure the levels of Quat fall within regulated levels. Other disinfectants include PAA (Per Acetic Acid) which is a very effective oxidising agent which leaves only water and acetic acid residues and hydrogen peroxide (H-2O2) which is also a very effective disinfectant which leaves only water (H2O) as a residue after use.

OPEN PLANT CLEANING (OPC)
AMPHOSAN™ - OPC
AMPHOSAN™ is a blend of amphoteric biocide, builders and surfactants which provides a broad spectrum biocide with good detergency.
AMPHOSAN™ can be applied hot or cold.
No rinse formulation – no rinse required after terminal disinfection
AMPHOSAN™ passes:
- EN1650 fungicidal/yeasticidal suspension test at 20°C/1.0%v/v against: Candida Albicans.
- EN1276 Bacterial suspension test at 10°C/1.5%v/v against:
• Escherichia Coli
• Staphylococcus Aureus
• Enterococcus Hirae
• Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
DETSAN™ - OPC
DETSAN™ is formulated for use as a detergent sanitiser in the Food and
Beverage processing and allied industries. The combination of cationic
biocides and surfactants provides broad
spectrum microcidal activity and good detergency.
No rinse formulation – no rinse required after terminal disinfection
DETSAN™ gives excellent antimicrobial activity against a range of microorganisms.
Testing by an accredited testing laboratory has shown that DETSAN™ passes the European Suspension Test EN1276 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli,
Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus hirae at a
concentration of 1.0% at 10°C.
DETSAN™ QF - OPC
DETSAN™ QF is formulated for use as a detergent sanitiser in the Food and Beverage processing and allied industries. The combination of amphoteric biocides and surfactants provides broad biocidal activity and good detergency.
DETSAN™ QF passes:
- EN1650 fungicidal/yeasticidal suspension test at 20°C/1.0%v/v against: Candida Albicans.
- EN1276 Bacterial suspension test at 10°C/1.5%v/v against:
