Use of low foam percarboxylic acid based products containing surfactants for cip-disinfection

摘要

The use of an agent containing surfactant components chosen from sulfonic acids or sulfonates, alkylamine oxides, ethercarboxylic acids, and alkylether sulfates, in total amounts of 0.01 to 1 wt. %, preferably 0.05 to 0.5 wt. %, with respect to the entire agent, and also one or more percarboxylic acids chosen from a) those peracids or salts of peracids with general formula (I) R²—O₂C—(CH₂)_x—CO₃H in which R² is hydrogen or an alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms and x is a number from 1 to 4, and/or b) phthalimido-percarboxylic acids (II), in which the percarboxylic acid segment contains 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and/or c) compounds of the formula (III) R¹—CO³H in which R¹ is an is an alkyl or alkenyl group with 1 to 18 carbon atoms, for disinfection purposes in CIP processes.
