SPECIALIZED CLEANING
Cleaning and degreasing
Cleaning and degreasing
Pollution comes in many different types. Often we talk about grease, oil and soot. One of the properties of these contaminants is that they are hydrophobic, meaning they are not soluble in water. Simply rinsing the substrate with water will only move the dirt across the substrate and not remove it. To choose the best cleaner, it is important to know what contamination is and how a cleaner works. Mavro’s cleaners and degreasers offer a solution for every contamination!
All cleaners contain surfactants (soap). These surfactants are the way to remove non-soluble dirt from the surface.
Surfactants come in thousands of different shapes and sizes, but all have approximately the same function: to “trap” dirt. The action of surfactants lies in the structure of the molecules. Namely, they have two ends: a hydrophilic “head” and a hydrophobic “tail.
Hydrophilic 'head and tail'
The hydrophilic head likes water and the hydrophobic tail is actually repelled by water. If a surfactant is added to water, the hydrophobic tails will move away from the water. They do this by forming so-called micelles, see the illustration.
When a detergent containing surfactants is applied to a contaminated surface, the micelles remain intact. The contaminants on the substrate (fats and oils), like the hydrophobic tails, do not like water. The greases and oils will easily move to the inside of the micelles. Scrubbing the substrate with a sponge or cloth helps the contaminants enter with the micelles.
The micelles, themselves “dissolved” in water, can be easily washed away along with the contaminants “trapped” inside the micelle. This is the principle of cleaning and degreasing.
A product only really works if you use it properly. That's why we train you.
We make chemistry work! Easy to shout. That's why we like to show you. Through training courses, among other things. The best way to show that and how you can achieve perfect results. Because a successful result is and remains a combination of products and craftsmanship.
