Description

Deterdur is an alkaline liquid detergent formulated exclusively for use in professional washing machinery—hood dishwashers, basket washers and tunnel washers—in environments where water hardness represents an operational challenge. Its combination of alkaline agents and EDTA- and NTA-free sequestering agents effectively dissolves organic residue and grease, neutralises calcium and magnesium ions present in hard water, and prevents their precipitation on dishes and internal equipment components. The result is a uniform wash cycle with no spotting, fast drying, and compliant with the most stringent hygiene requirements.

Deterdur is formulated and manufactured by Detervic / Instaquim, a company specialising in professional chemistry for hygiene in catering, restaurants, food industry and collective facilities management. The formulation meets European regulatory compliance criteria for detergents and is supported by technical documentation and specialist support for distributors and professional customers.

Benefits for professional use

  • Phosphate-free, EDTA-free, NTA-free — formulation with alternative sequestering agents compliant with European detergent regulations, without relying on chelating agents with high environmental impact.
  • Active protection against limescale deposits — sequestering agents neutralise calcium and magnesium ions, preventing deposits on heating elements, spray arms and filters, reducing the frequency of descaling and corrective maintenance.
  • Chlorine-free, ammonia-free, fragrance-free — composition designed for the safety of personnel in professional kitchens and catering environments with limited ventilation.
  • No artificial dyes — clean formula, suitable for environments with strict hygiene requirements and food quality audits.
  • Fast and uniform drying, low foaming — prevents spotting on dishes and glassware, and optimises spray system performance without interference in the wash chamber.

Main applications

  • Hood and basket dishwashers in catering: continuous wash cycles in restaurants, cafés, bars and fast-food chains with high dish rotation and maximum sanitary requirements.
  • Tunnel washers in central kitchens and catering: hotels and banquet services with high cycle demand; the detergent guarantees consistent results in each pass regardless of local water hardness.
  • Collective dining and healthcare environments: school canteens, company dining rooms, nursing homes and hospitals where dish washing must comply with strict hygiene protocols.
  • Food industry: washing of utensils, trays, moulds and containers in production plants with continuous-use washing machinery and high hard-water areas.

Recommended sectors

  • HoReCa — professional kitchens with industrial basket or hood dishwashers; efficient cycles in high-volume services with variable water hardness.
  • Food industry — washing of utensils and containers in production plants with continuous-use washing machinery and hard water.
  • Healthcare and geriatric care — hospital and clinic dining rooms and nursing homes where dish washing must comply with strict hygiene protocols.
  • Service companies and facility management — centralised management of industrial cleaning products in multi-site collective facilities, with a versatile reference adaptable to different types of machinery.

Guidance for use

01
Connect the automatic dosing system of the machine to the Deterdur tank following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
02
Adjust the detergent dosage based on local water hardness and the typical degree of soiling on dishes.
03
Verify that the product level in the tank is sufficient before starting service.
04
Programme the machine with the temperature and cycle time parameters recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
05
Periodically check the correct operation of the dosing pump and the condition of filters and spray arms, with greater frequency in high hard-water areas.
