Agar Powerquat Twin Chain Sanitiser

Odour: Mild odour.

Powerquat is a concentrated sanitiser based on twin-chain quaternary ammonium compound. It is a strong and versatile sanitiser for use in food-processing and beverage plants, dairies, and meat-processing work.

Key Benefits

• Very strong and effective on gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
• Wide applications in surface disinfection.
• Effective on bacteria, mould and algae.
• Odourless to suit food-processing areas.
• Enables rinse-free sanitising at 1:150.
• Safe to use on all metal food processing equipment.

How Does It Work?

Powerquat is a quaternary-ammonium-based sanitiser that has broad germ-killing capabilities. It also possesses some surface-active properties that provide some detergency and good surface-wetting characteristics. Quaternary ammonium compounds are effective at destroying bacteria, moulds, fungi, and algae. Powerquat is a low-toxicity product that is stable to light and heat. Its potency does not decline over time.

For Use On:

Powerquat is a concentrated food-grade sanitiser for use in kitchens and food processing areas. It is an excellent sanitiser for sanitising general surfaces, pots and pans, floors, filling machines, cookers, tables, non-porous cutting implements, conveyor belts and mixing pans. When sanitised with Powerquat these items are rendered free from bacteria.

Application:

Rinse-Free Sanitising: If Powerquat is diluted to 1 in 150 (0.66%) (this is 133ml per 20L of water), it is not necessary to rinse after use, just drain well. If used stronger than 0.66%, rinsing with potable water is required.

Before sanitising with Powerquat , all surfaces must be cleaned with an Agar detergent such as PRESTO and then rinsed with potable water.

Processing Equipment: Dilute Powerquat to 1 in 150 (this is 133ml of Powerquat per 20L of water) then spray or soak all cleaned surfaces with this solution. Ensure contact for at least 1 minute. Rinsing is not required for this dilution rate but treated surfaces should be adequately drained before processing operations resume.

Floors And Walls: Dilute Powerquat to between 1 in 80 and 1 in 40 (this is 250ml to 500ml per 20L of water) depending on degree of contamination.

Apply solution with foamer, sprayer, cloth, mop or sponge. Prevent direct contact with foodstuffs. Leave the solution in contact with surface for at least 1 minute to kill any bacteria.

Drains: For soaking of drains, dilute Powerquat to 1 in 30 (this is 667ml per 20L of water).

Foot Baths: Dilute Powerquat to 1 in 30 to 1 in 15 (this is 667ml to 1.33L per 20L of water). Discard this solution when it has become visibly soiled.

Fogging: Dilute Powerquat to 1 in 30 (this is 667ml per 20L of water) and use 1 litre of solution per 50 cubic metres of air volume. (Please note: Fogging should only be done according to a documented procedure that safeguards the personnel and the foodstuffs in the vicinity. Rinsing will be required at this dilution rate.)

Recirculation (Cip) Sanitising: Dilute to 1 in 30 (this is 667ml per 20L of water at 50° to 80°C. Recirculate for 10 to 20 minutes depending on the degree of soilage. Flush with potable water to rinse.
