Applications of alkaline cleaning agents

Alkaline cleaning agents are used across numerous sectors to remove heavy contamination. They are particularly effective against organic dirt such as fats, oils, proteins, and starch – commonly found in industrial environments like kitchens, workshops, and production lines. An alkaline cleaner is ideal for cleaning machines, tanks, floors, and conveyor belts. In the food industry, our products help maintain hygiene standards, while in metalworking they are used to remove oil and metal residues. We also offer strong alkaline cleaning agents for car wash installations and garages. Not sure which alkaline cleaning solution best suits your application?

Frequently asked questions about alkaline cleaners

What is an alkaline cleaner?
An alkaline cleaner is a cleaning product with a high pH level, designed to effectively break down fats, proteins, and other organic contaminants.

Are alkaline cleaners safe to use?
Yes, when dosed correctly and used according to the instructions. Always wear appropriate protective equipment during use.

How do I correctly dose an alkaline cleaning product?
The right dosage depends on the type of contamination and the specific application. Always consult the technical datasheet or contact us for tailored dosing advice.

Can I use an alkaline cleaner on all surfaces?
Not every surface is resistant to the effects of an alkaline cleaning product. Alkaline substances have a high pH and may affect sensitive materials such as aluminium, copper, zinc, painted surfaces, or delicate plastics. That’s why it’s important to first check if the surface is chemically resistant to alkaline solutions. For specific applications – such as in the food industry or with soft metals – we offer specialized alkaline cleaning agents that can be used safely without causing damage.
