02 september 2024

In modern industry and commercial enterprises, maintaining a high level of hygiene is an integral part of the job. Regular sanitary treatment of equipment and premises is necessary to prevent the spread of dangerous microorganisms that can negatively affect human health and product quality.

In this article, we will look at antibacterial foams containing active chlorine. They effectively cope with the tasks of disinfection and cleanliness maintenance at various facilities.

Why is antimicrobial treatment important?

Antimicrobial treatment is an important step in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in production, in the food industry and commercial premises.

If you do not comply with sanitary standards, you can face serious problems. For example, if the room where a lot of products are stored or processed is dirty, then the products may deteriorate. And this will lead to financial losses and even to the recall of products from the market.

It is especially important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in medical institutions and in the food industry. Infected surfaces can become a source of infectious diseases.

In addition, if sanitary standards are not observed, there may be not only economic losses, but also legal consequences. Many industries are strictly regulated by sanitary norms and standards.

Antimicrobial treatment helps to prevent these problems. It protects against a wide range of microorganisms, maintains a high level of safety and quality in production.

Regular and effective antimicrobial treatment is necessary to ensure safety, quality and compliance with established standards.

Foam products — what is it?

Foaming agents are special solutions that form a dense and stable foam. This foam is used for effective cleaning and disinfection of various surfaces.

Due to its structure, the foam can stay on the treated surfaces for a long time. This allows the active components to act on pollutants and pathogenic microorganisms for a long time.

The principle of operation of foam products is based on the creation of a thick layer of foam that evenly covers the surface and penetrates into hard-to-reach places. The foam remains on vertical and complex surfaces, providing long-lasting exposure to active substances. Due to this, foam washing is especially effective in areas where other cleaning methods may be less effective.

Foam products have several advantages over traditional cleaning methods. Firstly, they allow you to save detergent, since the foam is consumed sparingly and evenly distributed over the surface. Secondly, the use of foam reduces the mechanical impact on the surface, which is especially important when working with delicate materials. In addition, foams often have combined properties, allowing cleaning and disinfection to be combined in one process.

Foam technologies have found application in various industries such as the food industry, agriculture, healthcare and other areas where high standards of cleanliness and hygiene are required. They have proven their effectiveness in combating various pollutants, from fats and oils to biological contaminants. Therefore, foam products have become indispensable in many industries and in public places.

A powerful antimicrobial component

Active chlorine is one of the most effective antimicrobial components, which is widely used for disinfection of various surfaces and equipment. Due to its strong oxidizing properties, it is able to destroy a wide range of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores.

The mechanism of action of active chlorine is the destruction of the cell walls of microorganisms and the denaturation of their proteins. This leads to the rapid and effective death of pathogens, which prevents their reproduction and spread. In addition, active chlorine destroys biofilms, structures formed by microorganisms on surfaces, significantly increasing the effectiveness of disinfection.

Active chlorine has a fast action, which is especially important in conditions requiring rapid processing of large areas or equipment. For example, in the food industry and healthcare, it is used to disinfect equipment, work surfaces, walls and floors. This allows you to maintain a high level of hygiene and prevent cross-contamination.

However, despite its high efficiency, active chlorine requires certain precautions. It is important to use active chlorine products in accordance with the instructions to avoid negative health effects and damage to the equipment. Excessive concentration of active chlorine can cause corrosion of metal surfaces or irritation of the skin and respiratory tract. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly follow the recommendations on the dosage and use of such drugs.

Thus, active chlorine is a powerful and reliable antimicrobial component that provides a high degree of disinfection and protection against harmful microorganisms in various conditions. When used correctly, it helps to maintain a high level of hygiene and safety.

Advantages of foam products with active chlorine

Active chlorine foams are unique products that combine high efficiency and ease of use. They have found wide application in various industries due to their advantages.

1. High antimicrobial efficacy

The active chlorine contained in foam products is a strong oxidizer that successfully destroys various types of pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores. The dense and stable foam allows the product to come into contact with surfaces for longer, providing a more effective effect of active chlorine. This is especially important for the destruction of microorganisms in hard-to-reach places and on vertical surfaces.

2. Cost-effectiveness and ease of use

Foam products have a unique property — they adhere well to the surface. Due to this, they can be evenly distributed, which reduces the consumption of the product. In addition, the foam helps to control the application process and ensures a uniform coating. This reduces the likelihood of missing areas that need to be processed. Another advantage of foam products is that they reduce the need for mechanical cleaning. This saves time and resources related to the use of equipment and labor.

3. Long-lasting antimicrobial effect
Such products effectively disinfect surfaces due to the combination of active chlorine and foam technology. They not only instantly destroy germs, but also create a protective barrier on the treated surfaces. The foam lingers on the surfaces, preventing re-contamination for a long time. This is especially true in places where it is necessary to maintain a high level of hygiene, for example, in medical institutions or in food production.
4. Versatility of application
Foams with active chlorine have found application in various fields: food industry, healthcare, agriculture and commercial premises. They are excellent for processing equipment, walls, floors, work surfaces and other objects where strict sanitary standards are required. Due to their versatility, they become the optimal choice for enterprises with diverse disinfection needs.
5. Reducing the risk of cross contamination
The use of foam products, which include active chlorine, helps to reduce the likelihood of contamination spreading. Such products have a powerful antimicrobial effect and can penetrate into the most inaccessible areas. That is why they are especially useful in areas where maintaining sterile cleanliness is required, for example, when processing food or medical instruments.

How to choose and use a foam based on active chlorine?

The choice and proper use of a foam agent with active chlorine are important conditions for effective and safe disinfection. There are many such products on the market, so it is important to know what to look for when choosing and how to use the product as effectively as possible

Criteria for choosing a foam agent with active chlorine

Purpose and scope of application

When choosing a foam product, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the object to be processed.
