Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of low-foaming, surfactant-containing Percarboxylic acid agent for CIP disinfection.
  • halogen-releasing substances such as Monobromoacetic acid
  • oxidative compounds such as chlorine dioxide, peracetic acid, Active chlorine
  • antimicrobial substances such as isothiazolinones for cleaning and / or disinfection of hard surfaces
  • foaming Surfactants it may be that such agents in the cleaning solution the Promote formation of foam, which, for example, in some of the applications the food manufacturing industry but also in the pharmaceutical or cosmetic industry etc. is not desired.
  • the object of the present invention was to simple To seek means in their use in disinfection in the CIP process a very good disinfection result is achieved and at the same time the wetting properties be positively influenced, without one for the CIP process disturbing foam behavior would be observed.
  • CIP is a common abbreviation in the professional world and stands for Cleaning in place.
  • the skilled artisan understands that hard surfaces of objects, containers, tanks, such as milk or fermentation tanks in breweries usually automatically by locally stored cleaning and / or disinfecting agent via installed on site or in the object to be cleaned devices and devices, such as lines, pumps, nozzles, containers, spray heads, are treated.
  • CIP purification is Cleaning and / or disinfecting hard surfaces in a specific Procedure, the CIP procedure. Due to the turbulent movement of the cleaning and the disinfectant solution by pumping, spraying and other operations are agents and solutions that tend to foam, for the CIP process completely unsuitable.
  • Another disadvantage of common aqueous disinfectant solutions for CIP processes is also that they due to their poor wetting properties are unable to penetrate into microscopically small gaps, surfaces, Scratches and imperfect corners and edges of stainless steel equipment areas to get rid of harmful microorganisms completely.
  • Surfactants which work low foams in the CIP range are, for example, substances such as fatty alcohol ethoxylates and propoxylates. These substance classes prohibit in the application, as they are beyond the mechanism of the cloud point only at elevated (> 30 ° C) temperatures low in foam. Since the according to present invention to be considered percarboxylic acids, preferably cold (5 ° C to 30 ° C), the mechanism of these surfactants can not be used. Other tested surfactants, which are good even in the cold Low foaming, have the disadvantage that they are due to the strong oxidizing power of Disinfectants (percarboxylic acid) are destroyed, or that they themselves destroy the disinfectant.
  • the agent to be used according to the invention contains sulfonic acids or sulfonates which are selected from xylene, octyl, naphthyl and alkylbenzenesulfonic acids or sulfonates, in which case the alkyl group contains between 6 and 16 carbon atoms.
  • the surfactants used in the agent to be used according to the invention are alkylbenzenesulfonic acids or sulfonates and / or ethercarboxylic acids.
  • alkylamine oxides are contained as preferred components in the agent to be used in the present invention, these are preferably selected from the trialkylamine oxides having an alkyl group containing 8 to 20 carbon atoms and two alkyl groups having a smaller number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, the two shorter alkyl groups being the same or different it being most particularly preferred that the selected amine oxide (s) include tallow fatty bis (2-hydroxyethyl) amine oxide, oleyl bis (2-hydroxyethyl) amine oxide, coconut bis (2-hydroxyethyl -) - amine oxide, tetradecyldimethyl-amine oxide and / or alkyldimethyl-amine oxide having 12 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain are.
  • the agents to be used according to the invention or their diluted solutions for CIP disinfection in the food, pharmaceutical or cosmetics industry.
  • the agents to be used according to the invention contain additional Components with complexing properties.
  • Suitable phosphonic acids are, for example, 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid, diethylenetriaminepentamethylenephosphonic acid or ethylenediamine tetramethylenephosphonic acid and, in each case, their alkali metal salts.
  • Preferred application forms of the agents to be used according to the invention are aqueous solutions, gel, emulsion or paste.
  • the antimicrobial effect was surfactant as well corresponding surfactant-free peracetic acid disinfecting solutions Saccharomyces cerivisiae var. Diastaticus examined.
  • the agents V1 and E1 with water to a concentration of 0.5% by weight and 1% by weight, respectively adjusted to the entire solution.
  • Said comparison means V1 and the agent E1 to be used according to the invention are contained in Table 1. It should be noted that the preparation of E1 and V1 was carried out so that in the agent to be used in both cases about 4.5 wt .-% peracetic acid, based on the total agent, were present.
  • the wetting behavior was 0.1% by weight, Containing 0.5 wt .-% and 1.0 wt .-% peracetic acid disinfecting solutions examined by E1 and V1.
  • the correspondingly diluted solutions of E1 or V1 were prepared in 250 ml beakers. Subsequently, previously degreased stainless steel sheets were immersed in these solutions. In the next step, the sheets were removed from the solutions with tweezers. The remaining solution is allowed to drain for 10 seconds. Thereafter, the extent of surface wetting was visually estimated. It was found that at all three concentrations of E1, the degreased stainless steel sheets were wetted to about 95%.
