Modular cleaning

Maximum control, highest efficiency.

Synergy that works - builder & surfactant in perfect harmony

Modular cleaning stands for targeted efficiency: instead of using rigid full products, this system allows individual active components to be combined as required.

The result?

Highest cleaning performance, maximum process control - while at the same time saving resources and CO₂.

What does modular cleaning mean?

Industrial aqueous cleaning systems consist of two central groups of active ingredients: Builder and surfactants. Only their targeted combination develops the full cleaning effect.

  • Builder (scaffolding components): Stabilize the pH value, dissolve rust, bind metal ions, have an anti-corrosive effect and act as dirt carriers.
  • Surfactants: Reduce surface tension, emulsify oils and greases, enable the removal of very fine particles - even from geometries that are difficult to access.

Conclusion: The modular use of these components creates a system that can be precisely adapted to the material, contamination and process.

Why separate dosing makes all the difference

Builder and surfactants are consumed at different rates in cleaning processes:

  • Surfactants bind to oil and leave the bath quickly.
  • Builder remain longer and are mainly removed by drag-out.

Full products lead to over-concentration when added, which is not only inefficient, but can also have a negative impact on quality and the environment.

The solution:
A modular system enables separate post-dosing - this keeps the concentration of each component stable, even with long bath standing times.
