All the details treated with anodic oxidation, and consequently with GHA® technology, are sensitive to excessively acidic or basic pH, it is therefore recommended to clean the affected areas with preferably neutral or average aggressive washing, whose pH is within a range of 4 To 8.5.
Not recommended:
- Wash with excessively basic components (Ph> 8), especially when applied to temperatures above the room temperature
- Wash with excessively acidic components (pH <4), especially when applied at temperatures above room temperature
G.H.A.® is an antibacterial treatment (bactericidal action), therefore it does not need any particularly aggressive cleansing on its surface, to sanitize parts for food or pharmaceutical contact.
The good anti-adhesion of G.H.A.® facilitates the removal of dirt and deposits, allowing effective cleaning even with low aggressive washing or using abrasive cloths (such as sponges and kitchen towels).
Recommended:
- Wash with demineralized water is also carried out with high pressure and temperature high pressure cleaners
- Wash with steam
- Wash with average aggressive detergents with a pH between 4 and 8.5
- Wash with solvents (acetone, alcohols)
