PURTEX HA

Purtex HA Description — Self-Foaming Alkaline Degreaser for Removing Animal Fat, Vegetable Fat and Blood

At Quimiconsult we offer Purtex HA, a mildly alkaline foaming degreaser that is safe on surfaces and equipment, designed to remove animal and vegetable fat. Purtex HA contains detergency boosters that make it highly effective at removing blood stains, organic matter and animal fat, and it rinses off easily, making it well suited to cleaning surfaces and equipment in food plants, slaughterhouses, meat packers and industrial kitchens.

Its foam lets it be applied to vertical surfaces and equipment, where it clings and extends contact time with the soil. With moderate alkalinity in solution, it degreases well while being gentler on surfaces and equipment than high-alkalinity degreasers, and it is biodegradable.

For anyone looking for a foaming alkaline degreaser, a detergent for animal fat, a cleaner that removes blood stains or a biodegradable degreaser for the food industry, Purtex HA is the technical answer in the Quimiconsult catalogue, available from Monterrey, Nuevo León, with shipping throughout Mexico.

Purtex HA technical characteristics

Purtex HA is a slightly yellow liquid with a minimum alkalinity of 10%, a pH of 12.0 to 13.0 as a concentrate and a pH of 10.80 to 11.30 in a 1.0% solution. Its alkaline base saponifies animal and vegetable fats —turning them into water-soluble compounds— and helps lift protein and blood, while its detergency boosters wet the surface, emulsify the fat and hold the soil in suspension so the rinse carries it away easily.

Its flexible dosing, from 0.1% for light soil, lets you match the working solution's concentration to the soil level in each area.

How does Purtex HA work? Alkalinity + detergency boosters + foam

Purtex HA cleans through a combination of three mechanisms:

Saponification of fats (alkaline base). Purtex HA's alkalinity reacts with animal and vegetable fats and turns them into water-soluble compounds that the rinse carries away without leaving a film.

Detergency and removal of organic matter. Its detergency boosters wet the surface, emulsify the fat and lift blood and organic matter, holding them in suspension so they do not redeposit on the clean surface.

Contact foam. Purtex HA's foam clings to vertical surfaces and equipment, extends the product's contact time with the soil and lets you check coverage visually.

Purtex HA applications

Purtex HA is intended for cleaning surfaces and equipment soiled with animal and vegetable fat, blood and organic matter. The dilution and protocol should be validated with the Quimiconsult technical team for the type of soil and surface.

Meat industry, slaughterhouses and packers

Cleaning cutting tables, saws, conveyors, floors, walls and process equipment soiled with animal fat and blood, where its high efficiency at removing blood stains and its easy rinsing speed up cleaning between shifts.

Food processing plants

Degreasing surfaces and equipment in food plants soiled with animal and vegetable fat, such as fryers, ovens, hoods, cooking areas and process lines.

Industrial and institutional kitchens

Cleaning the kitchens of industrial canteens, restaurants, hotels and hospitals, where vegetable and animal fat must be removed from surfaces and equipment with a safe, easy-rinsing product.

Purtex HA directions for use and dilution

Use dilution: start at 0.1% to 2% for light soil and adjust the dilution to the soil level.

Application methods: foaming with foam-generating equipment, spraying, or manual application with a brush or pad. Leave the foam to act on the surface and rinse with water.

Good practice: remove gross soil first; prepare the solution with good-quality water; do not let the foam dry on the surface; and rinse thoroughly before the disinfection step. Validate the protocol by visual inspection and, in the food industry, with surface cleanliness tests.

Where Purtex HA fits in the cleaning and disinfection programme

• Gross soil removal and pre-rinse with water.
• Degreasing with Purtex HA by foaming or spraying, to remove fat, blood and organic matter.
• Thorough rinse with water.
• Acid cleaning where there is mineral scale, with a detergent such as Lactac, followed by a rinse.
• Disinfection of the clean surface with a disinfectant such as Optisan 100 or the Anticel peracetic acid line.

Purtex HA safety, handling and storage

Purtex HA is an alkaline product (pH 12.0 to 13.0 as a concentrate) and must be handled according to the recommendations in its current Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Wear personal protective equipment when handling the concentrate: safety glasses, chemical-resistant gloves and protective clothing, and avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Incompatibility: do not mix with acid products; apply alkaline and acid detergents in sequence, always with an intermediate rinse.

Storage: keep in the original closed container in a cool, dry, ventilated place, away from acids. Dispose of leftover product and empty containers in accordance with current environmental regulations.

Purtex HA compared with other detergents

Purtex HA vs. Alkaplus: both are self-foaming alkaline detergents for open surfaces. Alkaplus is a higher-alkalinity detergent for removing fat, protein and biofilm in heavy industrial cleaning; Purtex HA is mildly alkaline, with detergency boosters aimed at animal and vegetable fat and blood stains, and rinses off easily.

Purtex HA vs. CLK Premium: CLK Premium is a controlled-foam chlorinated alkaline detergent for recirculating CIP cleaning. Purtex HA is a foaming product intended for cleaning open surfaces and equipment, not for recirculation.

Purtex HA vs. Optifoam: Optifoam is a neutral degreasing detergent for alkali-sensitive surfaces. Purtex HA provides the alkalinity needed to saponify animal fat and remove blood more efficiently.
