Description

KEBOSOL VD consists of a specific combination of detergent surfactants which have an excellent cleaning efficiency in neutral and alkaline solutions already at very low dosing rates.

Benefits

• Emulsifies fatty and oily substances (e.g. residues of antifroth oils) and disperses thin films of dirt.
• Thus redeposition and adhesion to the heat surfaces are prevented.
• During chemical cleaning operations in the sugar industry the following advantages have proved a success when adding KEBOSOL VD:
  • The detachment of sugar decomposition products and other inconvenient organic components (e.g. proteins and other gelatinous substances) is considerably improved in alkaline solutions.
  • At alkaline pretreatments calcium compounds (such as calcium sulfate (gypsum), calcium oxalate, calcium silicate a.s.o.) being difficult to dissolve are transformed into acid soluble compounds by adding KEBOSOL VD. As a result the treatment period is shortened.
  • At intermediate cleanings the removal of detached sludge is improved. Consequently the requirement of acid is considerably reduced.

• During the alkaline aftertreatment the decomposition of acid insoluble silicates and organic substances is intensified and the removal of acid residues is favoured. This is of utmost importance as even small acid residues remaining in the smallest pores may cause serious corrosion.
• The addition of KEBOSOL VD to alkaline solutions supports the neutralization of acid also in the smallest pores and crazings owing to its good wetting properties.
• At the final rinsing the removal of residual sludge is improved.
• KEBOSOL VD is even resistant to high temperatures and effective and can be used for alkali concentrations up to approx. 25 %.
