The Difference Between Acidic and Alkaline Cleaning Products
ALKALINE AGENTS
Alkaline detergents are most effective in removing organic soils, i.e. oils, fats, proteins, starches, and carbohydrates encountered in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. Alkaline detergents work by hydrolyzing peptide bonds and breaking down large, insoluble proteins into small, more easily soluble polypeptides.
