Reducing cleaning time
Deposits are formed on most surfaces over time. The type of deposit formed will depend on the environment influencing the surface, as well as the characteristics of the surface itself. A cleaning agent has to be adapted to the type of material to be removed, as well as being compliant with the surface to be cleaned.
The cleaning operation can be divided into phases such as wetting of the surface/deposit, loosening of the deposit from the surface, finely dispersing the loosened deposit and avoiding re-deposition of the dirt back onto the surface. A cleaning agent will contain surfactants, and often chelating agents for inorganic ions. The pH of a cleaning formulation can be acidic, neutral or alkaline.
