“ITS NOT SO MUCH ABOUT PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT; ITS ABOUT CREATING A WORLD WHERE THE ENVIRONMENT DOESN’T NEED PROTECTING “
CHLORDET HD is a chlorinated caustic detergent designed for food and beverage production environments where cleaning teams need to tackle a combination of organic food soils, fats, proteins and staining.
The formulation contains sodium hypochlorite, alongside its caustic cleaning chemistry.
This makes CHLORDET HD particularly relevant to food-processing environments where hygiene teams encounter:
It is designed as a foam detergent for the cleaning stage of a professional food factory hygiene programme.
Food production can create a combination of soils that are difficult to remove with a light-duty detergent.
Depending on the production process, surfaces may become contaminated with:
Fats + proteins + grease + organic residues + vegetable-based staining
CHLORDET HD is formulated for general foam cleaning applications where these types of soils are present.
The combination of caustic cleaning chemistry and sodium hypochlorite provides a product specifically positioned for demanding food and beverage production environments.
CHLORDET HD is designed to help break down fats and proteins, making it particularly relevant to food-processing operations.
Suitable for environments where animal or vegetable fats can accumulate on production surfaces and equipment.
Relevant to meat, poultry, fish, dairy and prepared-food production where protein-based food residues are common.
The product is designed to help remove organic and vegetable-based stains encountered in food and beverage production.
Suitable for general foam cleaning where food residues and production soils accumulate.
Chlorinated Detergent vs Non-Chlorinated Caustic Detergent
One useful comparison for Technical and Hygiene Managers is between chlorinated and non-chlorinated cleaning chemistry.
Chlorinated caustic foam detergent
Contains sodium hypochlorite and is designed for cleaning applications involving fats, proteins and organic/vegetable-based staining.
Heavy-duty caustic foam detergent
Designed around heavy-soil removal, particularly fats, proteins and grease, without positioning it as a chlorinated product.
Long Cling Technology
Designed around foam cling and extended surface contact for general food and beverage foam cleaning.
Thin Film Technology
Designed around improved rinsing characteristics and reduced rinse-water consumption.
This gives your range four distinct product-selection reasons rather than four versions of the same detergent.
There is no single detergent chemistry that is automatically right for every food factory.
The appropriate choice depends on:
If you're considering switching from a conventional caustic detergent to a chlorinated caustic detergent, SOS Hygiene can discuss your current cleaning process and requirements.
CHLORDET HD is a detergent.
It should not automatically be marketed as a disinfectant simply because it contains sodium hypochlorite.
UK food hygiene guidance distinguishes the cleaning stage from disinfection. Cleaning removes visible dirt, grease, food particles and other residues, followed by rinsing; where disinfection is required, it is a separate stage using an appropriate disinfectant according to its instructions.
If CHLORDET HD has a specific authorised biocidal claim and efficacy data, those claims should be taken directly from the approved product documentation and label rather than inferred from the presence of sodium hypochlorite.
For Hygiene Managers, selecting between chlorinated and non-chlorinated detergents can form part of a wider cleaning strategy.
Important considerations can include:
CHLORDET HD provides an option for sites specifically looking for a chlorinated caustic foam detergent.
Technical Managers and Food Safety Managers need to consider more than cleaning performance when evaluating a chlorinated chemical.
A product review may include:
Cleaning performance → chemical concentration → contact time → surface compatibility → rinsing → verification → chemical safety
Particular consideration should be given to:
The current SOS Hygiene product information specifies use at 3–5% v/v through suitable foam-generating equipment at ambient temperatures.
Always use the current Product Data Sheet and SDS when developing or reviewing the cleaning procedure.
Use CHLORDET HD at 3–5% v/v through suitable foam-generating equipment at ambient temperatures.
The correct cleaning process should be established according to:
Always follow the current Product Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet.
CHLORDET HD contains sodium hypochlorite, which differentiates it from a conventional non-chlorinated caustic detergent.
This makes the product particularly relevant where cleaning teams are looking for a chlorinated caustic foam detergent for suitable food-production cleaning applications.
Because sodium hypochlorite is an oxidising chemical, appropriate chemical handling and segregation are especially important.
HSE warns that chlorine-based products can release toxic chlorine gas when they come into contact with acids, and hypochlorites can react with certain other chemicals.
Always consult the current SDS and follow the manufacturer's handling instructions.
SOS Hygiene's current product information recommends the use of its Hi/Low Test Kit products.
Testing can include:
These can be used as part of a controlled approach to checking cleaning-solution chemistry.
The appropriate testing procedure should be established according to the product documentation and site's chemical-control procedure.
A professional food manufacturing hygiene programme should establish appropriate methods for verifying cleaning performance.
Depending on the site's HACCP and hygiene procedures, verification may include:
The appropriate verification method depends on the cleaning objective and site risk assessment.
Because CHLORDET HD contains sodium hypochlorite, chemical handling and storage require particular care.
HSE warns that hypochlorite-containing products can produce hazardous chlorine gas if they come into contact with acids. HSE also advises that incompatible chemicals should be stored separately.
Important controls include:
HSE specifically warns that adding other chemicals to sodium-hypochlorite-containing concentrates can result in chlorine gas being released.
CHLORDET HD is stated to be suitable for all water types.
This makes it suitable for consideration across food and beverage production sites with different water characteristics.
Nevertheless, product performance should always be assessed under the actual operating conditions of the site.
CHLORDET HD is available in commercial formats suitable for different food manufacturing operations.
Current options include:
Contact SOS Hygiene for current pricing and bulk supply options.
Chlorinated chemicals should be incorporated into a properly managed chemical-storage system.
Particular attention should be paid to segregation from incompatible chemicals, especially acids.
HSE advises that incompatible chemicals should be stored separately because of the potential for hazardous chemical reactions.
Your site's COSHH assessment and the current SDS should determine the appropriate storage arrangements.
