Abstract
By a process for the cleaning and protection, including corrosion protection, preservation and disinfection, of all surfaces subjected to daily, periodic or current cleaning, and which between treatment and cleaning may be exposed to water having pH < 9, the cleaned surfaces are applied with a substance - preferably a plastic polymer - forming a dense, aseptic and water insoluble film, on which all dirt types can settle. The film is removed by wash with water having pH ã 9, whereby also the dirt settled on the film is removed. Thereafter the surfaces may be applied with a new film. Hereby it is possible without use of aggressive chemicals, hot water and pressure equipment, and without risk of build-up of resistant bacteria, in a very short time to perform cleaning and protection of rooms and equipment. Savings on water, energy, cleaning agents and personnel are obtained, and both internal and external environment are spared.
Description
21 n~9 )92/16309 PCT/DK92/00096 A process for the cleaning and protection, including corrosion protection, preservation and disinfection, of surfaces, and an agent for use in the process _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ :
The present invention relates to a process of the kind stated in the introductory portion of claim 1 for the cleaning and protection, including corrosion protection, preservation and disinfection of surfaces, e.g. in under-takings and institutions in the food and pharmaceuticalindustries and in hospitals. The process according to the invention is directed at both production rooms and furniture and equipment. The invention also relates to an agent for use when carrying out the process.
-For daily, current and periodic cleaning of production rooms, including machinery, equipment and furniture, e.g.
in the food and pharmaceutical industries, use is mainly made of foam cleaning followed by disinfection. By the foam cleaning the surfaces to be cleaned are typically first coarsely washed with hot or cold water under pressure (typically 20-120 bar) in view of removing all loose and water soluble dirt. Then the surfaces are foamed -with a cleaning agent having a loosening effect on dirt -debris, typically in 5-15 min, and which may basic, neutral or acidic depending on the dominating type of dirt. The surfaces are then cleaned with hot or cold water under pressure (typically 20-120 bar) in order to remove debris of dirt and cleaning agent, and finally the cleaned surfaces are disinfected with hot water (above 80C) or with chemical disinfectants (hypochlorites, peroxides, peracetic acid, quaternary ammonium compounds or the like). This disinfection may optionally be succeeded by a surface treatment with liquid paraffin. All these process steps are usually performed manually by cleaning staff, but the disinfection process may be performed automatic-: " ' ' .
WO92t16309 PCT/DK92/00096 ally by means of atomizers.
Such processes for required daily, current and periodicmaintenance of the hygiene level are, however, very time-consuming, costly and environmentally unfriendly. Further-more, they are non-reproducible and often also inadequate in view of achieving a hygiene level fulfilling the high demands today placed on the hygiene of surfaces, in particular within the food, beverages and tobacco industries, in hospitals and the like places. In such places any contamination constitutes a risk of existence and growth of bacteria, ~unsi and oth2r microorganisms, whose presence is undesired, i.a. because of the risk of contamination of raw and finished products.
The cleaning technology used today for maintaining the desired hygiene level of surfaces in e.g. food processing undertakings and the like places is - irrespective of the selected cleaning type - attached with very essential disadvantages and costs, among which in particular the following should be mentioned:
l. The technology is time-consuming because the daily cleaning and disinfection often takes 5-8 hours, in which period the production apparatus cannot be used.

.:
Thus there is a very large need for new processes with which it is possible quickly, uniformly and in a completely reproducible way to ensure that the daily cleaning results in clean and germ-free production conditions at a minimum of costs.
.,.".
By the process according to the invention there is obtained a surprisingly simple, fast, cheap and reliable process whereby this object can be fulfilled.
''" --More specifically, the invention relates to a process for the protection (including corrosion protection, preserva-tion and disinfection) and cleaning of all surfacessubjected to daily, periodical or current cleaning and which between treatment and cleaning are or may be exposed to water and aqueous solutions, such as all external and - -internal surfaces in the food industry, wet-room surfaces, transport materiél, furniture, equipment and the like. The process according to the invention is thus usable for all surfaces which are cleaned daily, currently or periodically, and where the surfaces between treatment and cleaning are not exposed to basic solutions (pH 9) 30 or solutions containing solvents which without the -presence of base are capable of dissolving the applied -plastic~film. Thus, the process according the invention is characterized in that the cleaned surfaces are coated with a substance forming a dense, aseptic and water insoluble plastic film on which all kinds of dirt can settle and which subsequently is removable by washing with water ".' ~ :.
21~fi~9 adjusted to pH 29 or with any other liquid having dis-solving effect, whereby also the dust settled on the film is removed.
The invention is based on the recognition that if all surfaces in e.g. production rooms, including surfaces of equipment and furniture, are completely clean and prior to the start of production have been applied with a substance which is chemically inert and non-toxic and which forms a dense, water insoluble, pro~ective and serm-free film on the surfaces, which film is easily removable by means of water having a pH-value of 9 or more or other aqueous solutions capable of dissolving the film, then the surfaces will be aseptic at the start of production.
Contaminations of any kind which are settled on the surfaces can then be removed after the production merely by washing with water ad~usted to pH 29 or with any other aqueous solution capable of dissolving the film. The film-forming substance may be applied automatically by means of any kind of suitable atomizer, while the washing with pH-adjusted water is preferably performed manually. AlSo the pH-adjusted water can, however, be applied automatically, whereafter washing is with clean water.
Hereby the cleaning will be extremely simplified in comparison with the known technique, and the production surfaces will after cleaning be aseptic and germ-free.
The cleaning of the surfaces with pH-adjusted water is performed solely by washing irrespective of the contamina-tion type, and there are no special demands on pressure,temperature or other parameters. However, the pH-value of the water must be adjusted to at least 9 or else the water must be added with chemicals capable of dissolving the film. Hereby the film and the dirt thereon loses its adhesiveness to the surface which is thereafter completely clean. Then a new water insoluble, dense film is applied .' . .. ' ,, . . .

In this way it is made possible to perform the daily, 5 current or periodic cleaning very quickly without using .-anything else but water and a non-toxic chemical, without using pressure cleaning equipment, without unfortunate impacts on users, surfaces and environment, and with simultaneous attainment of clean, aseptic surfaces.

Danish patent application No. 2894/77 discloses a process for the protection and cleaning of surfaces exposed to soiling. The thus known process, however, involves surface treatment with water soluble agents, and it is consequent-ly only usable for protection of hydrofobic, oily dirt on surfaces which moreover not before the cleaning are influenced by water or aqueous solutions. Contrary hereto, the process according to the invention involves a surface treatment for the protection of the surface against both 20 hydrofobic and hydrophilic dirt, the surface being applied : -with a water and oil insoluble film. Therefore the process according to the invention is usable on surfaces which between application of the plastic film and cleaning are exposed to water, which e.g. is so within the food -;

Thus the Japanese specification discloses a process where the object is -first coated with a polyvinyl alcohol film and thereafter soiled with vegetable oil. By submerging the soiled 3~ object in water (20 JC) for 7 min the film becomes removable.

~ln6~s However, the thus ~nown process is not usable for cleaning surfaces in food processing undertakings or other surfaces which in between treatment and cleaning are exposed to water, since polyvinyl alcohol is water soluble. It is not possible either to use polyvinyl alcohol on surfaces getting into contact with foodstuffs since polyvinyl alcohol is not approved for contact with foodstuffs. The method known from the Japanese disclosure is furthermore only usable on objects having such restricted size that they can be submerged or washed for the period required for dissolving the film.
The surface treatment performed by the process according to the invention furthermore results in an aseptic film whereby the treatment causes a disinfection. Besides, the film used can~be employed in connection with foodstuffs.
These properties appear neither from Danish patent application No. 2894/77 nor from Japanese public disclosure No. 78/108121.

A number of substances are known having this desirable combination of properties. The agent most preferred for use in the process according to the invention is a plastic polymer, e.g. in the form of a combination of maleate ~ resin and polyethylene. ~ -Plastic polymers having the above properties are moreover .. . .

' .
~1 n~.g ~92/16309 ` PCT/DK92/00096 either pure polymer dispersions like e.g. a combination of acrylates and polyethylene or the above combination of polyethylenes and montan wax. The reason why plastic polymers after dryin~ (film-formation) are removable with base is either (l) that the plastic polymer in its chemical composition contains free acid groups which by neutralization with base entails reduced adhesiveness to surfaces and/or dissolution of plastic structures, or (2) that the plastic polymer is water soluble because of the base content (e.g. ammonia), which during drying and film formation evaporates, since the plastic polymer by react-ion with base subsequently can be made water soluble again. In the latter case the aqueous solution of the plastic polymer is basic because of the ammonia content, but neutral or acidic following film-formation because of evaporation of ammonia. This pH-shift can, by addition of an acid/base colour-indicator, such as e.g. phenol-phthalein (colourless at pH <8.2-9.8, and red at pH >8.2-9.8) to the plastic polymer solution, if pH is more than 9, be used for controlling whether the application is correct on all surfaces (the applied solution being bright red), whether a plastic film is present on all surfaces (the film turning red by contact with base) and whether all surfaces are cleaned correctly (the film turning red by cleaning with a basic solution (pH >9)). Thus it is possible in a simple way to control all steps in the cleaning, including controlling the presence of plastic film at all times, also during the production.
The above combination of polyethylene and maleate resin is preferred because it is extremely suited for the purpose:
Thus it has been approved in connection with foodstuffs, and it has high adhesiveness and large anti-release effect. Furthermore it is completely waterproof and has a 3~ high dirt-repellent capability, and is also extremely wear resistant. The toxicity is negligent, and the agent ~ ! ,;; ;
~1 U~8~9 contains no phosphate, is not marked hazardous and is biodegradable.
The polymers mentioned in Danish patent application No.
2894/77, such as cellulose, starch, polyethylene glycols and polyvinyl alcohol, only serve as thickeners in view of obtaining a certain viscosity. All these polymers are water soluble and consequently cannot be compared with the water insoluble plastic polymers used by the process according to the invention.
Since the process according to the invention does not employ strong chemicals, including disinfectants, there is no risk of build-up of resistant bacteria chemically.
~he film-forming agent can be applied automatically in closed rooms by means or aerosol nozzles. Advantageously use can be made of an atomizer of a type the nozzles of which are capable of atomizing with a particle size of less than 3 ,um, whereby it is achieved that the particles can be distributed with the ordinary room air. Hereby it e.g. is possible to shroud a room of 800 m3 in a completely dense fog in a few minutes using less than 10 litres of liquid. Even complicated production equipment with surfaces which are either difficult to access or hidden can be treated effectively in this way. An atomizer of this type is today commonly used for e.g. air-moistening and room-disinfection.
lt is also possible to apply the film-forming agent manually, e.g. by means of form equipment or sprayer.
The process according to the invention emplo~s pH-adjusted water for the cleaning. The required pH-adjustment to pH
9 can be performed with any chemical providing alkaline reaction in the pH-area ~9. Chemicals, such as e.g. sodium )92/16309 ~1 ~ PCT/DK92/00096 hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and metasilicates, are thus usable.

.:
Thus there is a very large need for new processes with which it is possible quickly, uniformly and in a completely reproducible way to ensure that the daily cleaning results in clean and germ-free production conditions at a minimum of costs.
.,.".
By the process according to the invention there is obtained a surprisingly simple, fast, cheap and reliable process whereby this object can be fulfilled.
''" --More specifically, the invention relates to a process for the protection (including corrosion protection, preserva-tion and disinfection) and cleaning of all surfacessubjected to daily, periodical or current cleaning and which between treatment and cleaning are or may be exposed to water and aqueous solutions, such as all external and - -internal surfaces in the food industry, wet-room surfaces, transport materiél, furniture, equipment and the like. The process according to the invention is thus usable for all surfaces which are cleaned daily, currently or periodically, and where the surfaces between treatment and cleaning are not exposed to basic solutions (pH 9) 30 or solutions containing solvents which without the -presence of base are capable of dissolving the applied -plastic~film. Thus, the process according the invention is characterized in that the cleaned surfaces are coated with a substance forming a dense, aseptic and water insoluble plastic film on which all kinds of dirt can settle and which subsequently is removable by washing with water ".' ~ :.
21~fi~9 adjusted to pH 29 or with any other liquid having dis-solving effect, whereby also the dust settled on the film is removed.
The invention is based on the recognition that if all surfaces in e.g. production rooms, including surfaces of equipment and furniture, are completely clean and prior to the start of production have been applied with a substance which is chemically inert and non-toxic and which forms a dense, water insoluble, pro~ective and serm-free film on the surfaces, which film is easily removable by means of water having a pH-value of 9 or more or other aqueous solutions capable of dissolving the film, then the surfaces will be aseptic at the start of production.
Contaminations of any kind which are settled on the surfaces can then be removed after the production merely by washing with water ad~usted to pH 29 or with any other aqueous solution capable of dissolving the film. The film-forming substance may be applied automatically by means of any kind of suitable atomizer, while the washing with pH-adjusted water is preferably performed manually. AlSo the pH-adjusted water can, however, be applied automatically, whereafter washing is with clean water.
Hereby the cleaning will be extremely simplified in comparison with the known technique, and the production surfaces will after cleaning be aseptic and germ-free.
The cleaning of the surfaces with pH-adjusted water is performed solely by washing irrespective of the contamina-tion type, and there are no special demands on pressure,temperature or other parameters. However, the pH-value of the water must be adjusted to at least 9 or else the water must be added with chemicals capable of dissolving the film. Hereby the film and the dirt thereon loses its adhesiveness to the surface which is thereafter completely clean. Then a new water insoluble, dense film is applied .' . .. ' ,, . . .

In this way it is made possible to perform the daily, 5 current or periodic cleaning very quickly without using .-anything else but water and a non-toxic chemical, without using pressure cleaning equipment, without unfortunate impacts on users, surfaces and environment, and with simultaneous attainment of clean, aseptic surfaces.

Danish patent application No. 2894/77 discloses a process for the protection and cleaning of surfaces exposed to soiling. The thus known process, however, involves surface treatment with water soluble agents, and it is consequent-ly only usable for protection of hydrofobic, oily dirt on surfaces which moreover not before the cleaning are influenced by water or aqueous solutions. Contrary hereto, the process according to the invention involves a surface treatment for the protection of the surface against both 20 hydrofobic and hydrophilic dirt, the surface being applied : -with a water and oil insoluble film. Therefore the process according to the invention is usable on surfaces which between application of the plastic film and cleaning are exposed to water, which e.g. is so within the food -;
industry.
