Detergent Chlorine Tablets – 1.7g NaDCC plus Low Foam Detergent in a Recyclable Pouch Pack
Why use a Pouch Pack for Detergent Chlorine Tablets?
- Because the pouches are more compact than tubs we are able to save on transport and can remove whole lorry loads of empty tubs and lids from roads and landfill.
- Our pouches have been extensively tested and can be opened and closed hundreds of times without breaking and are more impact resistant than regular pots and will not crack or break if dropped.
- When empty pouches take up far less space in your bins.
- The empty pouch pack is PP5 recyclable including the PP label.

Guidelines for the use of 3.25g Detergent Chlorine Tablets for food preparation surfaces & food processing equipment:
- Remove loose debris with a clean, loosely-folded cloth.
- Wash with a hot neutral detergent solution and cloth. An abrasive nylon pad may also be useful.
- Rinse with hot water and a clean cloth. Drop one 3.25g DST into the recommended amount of water, preferably hot/warm (40°C) to provide 200 ppm of available chlorine. (Warm water assists the process of disinfection and also speeds up the tablet dissolution time.)
- Thoroughly wet the cleaned surface with the disinfecting solution by the most suitable means, e.g. trigger spray or disposable cloth.
- Leave wet for a minimum of 3 minutes. (Providing the surface is thoroughly clean this is sufficient contact time for positive disinfection.)
- Rinse off with fresh, clean water.
- Allow to air-dry or use disposable paper towel.

SLICING MACHINES), PRELIMINARY SAFETY PROCEDURES AND FINAL SAFETY CHECKS WILL BE REQUIRED, SEVERAL TYPES OF EQUIPMENT WILL NEED PARTIAL OR COMPLETE DISMANTLING TO ENSURE EFFECTIVE CLEANING AND DISINFECTION. WARNING: TO BE EFFECTIVE, DISINFECTANT SOLUTIONS MUST BE MADE UP FRESH EACH DAY AND BE OF CORRECT CONCENTRATION.
