ProvaCharge F100 Foam by Sterilex is a two-part, acid-based liquid disinfectant component designed for demanding open plant cleaning applications within food and beverage manufacturing.

When combined with ProvaCharge P500, ProvaCharge F100 forms the complete ProvaCharge Foam disinfectant system. The system is designed to penetrate and destroy biofilms while simultaneously controlling resistant pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica and E. coli.

ProvaCharge Foam can be incorporated into an acid weekly cleaning programme, providing food manufacturers with a targeted approach to biofilm and pathogen control across suitable food and non-food contact equipment and surfaces.

What Is ProvaCharge F100 Foam?

ProvaCharge F100 is the F100 component of the two-part ProvaCharge Foam system from Sterilex.

F100 is combined with ProvaCharge P500 at the time of use to create the ready-to-apply ProvaCharge Foam disinfectant.

The system is specifically intended for Open Plant Cleaning (OPC), making it suitable for food processing equipment, production surfaces and other areas where foam application is an appropriate cleaning and disinfection method.

How Does ProvaCharge Foam Work?

ProvaCharge Foam uses a two-part liquid acid-based disinfectant system.

At the time of application, ProvaCharge F100 is mixed with ProvaCharge P500. Once combined, the resulting ProvaCharge Foam system is designed to penetrate and destroy biofilms while simultaneously providing antimicrobial activity against specified pathogens.

The foam format allows the disinfectant to be distributed across suitable open plant equipment and surfaces, providing an effective method of applying the product across complex production environments.

The recommended contact time is 10 minutes, followed by rinsing in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

ProvaCharge F100 for Open Plant Cleaning

Open Plant Cleaning is a fundamental part of hygiene management in food manufacturing.

Food processing equipment can contain numerous surfaces, joints, seams and difficult-to-access areas where organic material and microorganisms can potentially accumulate.

A dedicated foaming application can help hygiene teams achieve broad and controlled coverage of suitable equipment and surfaces.

ProvaCharge Foam is designed to form part of an acid weekly clean, complementing a facility's established daily and periodic cleaning procedures.

ProvaCharge F100 + P500 System

ProvaCharge F100 is not used alone as the complete ProvaCharge Foam disinfectant.

For the ProvaCharge Foam application:

ProvaCharge F100 + ProvaCharge P500 = ProvaCharge Foam

Both components are mixed at the time of use according to the manufacturer's instructions.

ProvaCharge P500 is available separately and is the complementary component required for the ProvaCharge Foam system.

Biofilm Control

Biofilm can be a significant hygiene challenge in food processing environments. Microorganisms can become associated with surfaces and equipment, particularly where moisture, residues or difficult-to-clean areas are present.

ProvaCharge Foam is designed to penetrate and destroy biofilms, making it particularly relevant to periodic hygiene programmes targeting potential microbial harbourage.

The system can be incorporated into a structured cleaning strategy designed to address areas where conventional cleaning may not provide sufficient control.

Pathogen Control

The ProvaCharge Foam system is designed to provide antimicrobial activity against important food industry pathogens, including:

  • Listeria monocytogenes
  • Salmonella enterica
  • E. coli

Pathogen control should always be managed as part of a comprehensive food safety and environmental hygiene programme.

The actual efficacy achieved will depend on following the manufacturer's specified conditions of use, including preparation, concentration, application, contact time, temperature and surface compatibility.

Recommended 10-Minute Contact Time

The recommended contact time is 10 minutes.

The disinfectant should remain in contact with the treated surface for the specified period to achieve the intended disinfection performance.

Contact Time: 10 Minutes

After the required contact time, rinse after use according to the manufacturer's instructions and the site's documented cleaning procedures.

Recommended Foaming Equipment

ProvaCharge Foam is designed to be used with suitable professional foaming equipment.

We recommend considering:

Dema Foaming Equipment
Suitable Dema equipment can help generate and apply ProvaCharge Foam across appropriate open plant surfaces.

Dema Drain Foaming Tools
 Dedicated drain foaming equipment can be used where ProvaCharge Foam is appropriate for drainage hygiene applications.

Selecting the right equipment can help improve coverage, consistency and efficiency during open plant cleaning.

Why Use Foam Disinfection?

Foam application can provide practical advantages when cleaning and disinfecting large or complex areas of food processing equipment.

It can help hygiene operators:

  • Achieve broad surface coverage
  • Apply disinfectant to complex equipment
  • Treat vertical and awkward surfaces
  • Improve application visibility
  • Support consistent open plant cleaning procedures
  • Target periodic acid-based hygiene requirements
  • Incorporate biofilm control into weekly cleaning programmes

Foaming equipment should be selected according to the product manufacturer's requirements and the site's specific application.
