◆ Cleaning and Disinfection ◆
Treatment areas:
Contaminants in the cosmetic industry may arise from a wide range of sources such as raw materials, the environment, equipment or tools used, surfaces, packaging and fitting materials, workers, among others.
PSQ Argentina S.A. offers a line of disinfection products providing a broad-spectrum bactericidal effect which has been successfully tested against everyday microorganisms.
- REACTORS
- MIXING AND PACKAGING EQUIPMENT AND CIRCUITS
- STORAGE TANKS
- MAIN/AUXILIARY DRINKING WATER TANKS
- PACKAGING
- COOLING TOWERS, ETC.
If CIP (clean-in-place) or SIP (sanitize-in-place) facilities are available to clean and disinfect production and packaging areas, factors such as requirements governing the method to be used, the safety of the process and the certainty of its application are determined directly by the hygiene outcome to be obtained.
A regular cleaning and disinfection system in this type of facilities typically comprises the following stages in the cosmetic industry:
- Rising
- Alkaline cleaning + additive
- Rising
- Rising + disinfection
◆ Quality of drinking water in cosmetic production ◆
Given that water is found in every cosmetic product formula, its bacteriological quality is of utmost importance. Water free from germs guarantees end products offering longer lifecycles with reduced amounts of preservatives.
To this end, we recommend water be treated from the very beginning when it accesses the main tank at the plant. We suggest treatment on water be done across all conducts to reactors and packaging machines and be maintained throughout all stages involving applicable cleaning and disinfection processes.
Water bacteriological treatment is vital. We therefore recommend our products:
OXIBAC® – SILVERNEW
Hydrogen peroxide + silver ion-based product
PEROXIGEN® – ACTIVO
Peracetic acid-based product
BIOCIBAC® – ECO
Chlorine dioxide-based producto
GLUTABAC® FORTE
