Materials influence the cleaner choice

摘要

You want the surface materials in your pig pen to be clean, but also intact in the sense that they are not affected by corrosion. This requirement raises an important question from the point of view of the cleaning process: Which chemicals are incompatible with which surface materials? The modern pen is likely to contain fixtures or fittings of stainless steel, plastic and even glass. Fortunately, ail of these can bear any modern formulated detergent used for cleaning purposes on a farm, provided that the correct dilutions are used. More issues arise in the case of concrete (cement). Along with copper and brass, it cannot stand strong acids. Also, galvanised steel is quite sensitive to acid products.
