What Is A Chlorinated Alkaline Cleaner?

Chlorinated alkaline cleaner is a heavy-duty cleaning solution that combines alkaline chemistry with chlorine to help remove organic soils, proteins, fats, oils, and other stubborn residues from compatible equipment and surfaces. It is commonly used in breweries, wineries, distilleries, food processing facilities, and other production environments with demanding cleaning requirements.

The alkaline components help break down organic soils, while the chlorinated formulation can assist with removing certain stains and residues. Chlorinated alkaline cleaners may be used on tanks, processing equipment, and other approved surfaces as part of established cleaning procedures.

Because these cleaners can be highly concentrated, proper handling is important. Always follow product label directions for dilution, temperature, contact time, protective equipment, rinsing, and material compatibility.

FAQ's

Why is chlorine added to an alkaline cleaner?
Chlorine can enhance the cleaner’s ability to address certain organic soils, proteins, stains, and residues when combined with alkaline cleaning chemistry.
What is the difference between chlorinated alkaline cleaner and regular alkaline cleaner?
Both use alkaline chemistry to address organic soils, but chlorinated alkaline cleaners also contain chlorine to provide additional cleaning action for certain soils and stains.
Where are chlorinated alkaline cleaners commonly used?
They are commonly used in food and beverage processing environments, including breweries, wineries, distilleries, and other facilities with tanks and processing equipment.
