Formulation Notes
Warehouse and large-area facility cleaning demands an economical, high-alkalinity formula that performs well in automatic floor-scrubbing equipment across extensive concrete or sealed surfaces. Cost optimization is achieved by minimizing surfactant content while maximizing the builder/alkaline fraction, which still delivers effective saponification and particulate soil suspension.
Procedure. Dissolve sodium metasilicate, sodium carbonate, and tetrapotassium pyrophosphate in water at 35-45°C. Add sodium hydroxide solution. Add the alcohol ethoxylate and sodium xylene sulfonate; mix until clear.
Specifications. pH (neat): 12.5 ± 0.3; pH (0.5% solution): 11.0 ± 0.2; active matter: 12% ± 0.5%; specific gravity: 1.03 ± 0.01.
Application. Dilute 1:50 to 1:100 for routine warehouse floor cleaning. Use at 1:30 for heavily soiled areas. Apply via floor-scrubber at 0.2-0.4 L/m². Rinse not required on sealed concrete if used at recommended dilution. Compatible with most industrial floor-scrubber machines when used as directed.
GHS Classification. Skin Corrosion Category 1B (H314); Signal word: DANGER. Required PPE: chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, safety boots. Corrosive to aluminum, zinc, and galvanized steel surfaces.
