Eco Dish +

Description

Eco Dish + is a liquid detergent for industrial dishwashers developed for installations where mains water hardness is medium-high or very high. Its formulation incorporates GLDA as a biodegradable chelating agent, which neutralises calcium and magnesium ions responsible for limescale deposits on crockery and machinery, maintaining consistent washing performance in the range of 15 ºHF to 65 ºHF without the need for a separate softener.

Formulated and manufactured by Detervic / Instaquim, Eco Dish + holds EU Ecolabel certification nº ES-CAT/038/012, issued by the competent authority in Catalonia in accordance with the European Commission Decision for professional-use detergents. The certification accredits aerobic biodegradability of surfactants greater than 90 % in 28 days, absence of phosphates, EDTA and NTA, and reduced aquatic toxicity, with documented traceability and annual external audit.

Benefits for professional use

• Documented effectiveness in very hard water — covers the range from 15 ºHF to 65 ºHF without the need for prior water treatment, maintaining washing results in installations where conventional detergents progressively lose performance.
• Active cycle-by-cycle chelation with GLDA — the biodegradable chelating agent sequesters calcium and magnesium ions in each wash, preventing the accumulation of limescale deposits on heating elements, recirculation pumps and crockery surfaces.
• Verifiable EU Ecolabel certification — documentation valid for sustainability audits and public procurement with green purchasing criteria (Law 9/2017), without the need for additional reports.
• Phosphate-free, EDTA-free, NTA-free — formula compliant with European detergent regulations, without the restricted chelants most common in conventional industrial formulations, with lower impact on aquatic ecosystems.
• Integrated foam control — stabilises foam generation at levels compatible with automatic washing, reducing water and energy consumption per cycle in intensive-use installations.
• Extends equipment service life — by eliminating the cause of limescale deposits, it reduces the frequency of internal cleaning and premature wear of components in high-capacity equipment.
• No artificial dyes or perfume — suitable for environments with elevated hygiene requirements and strict ingredient control, such as healthcare and care facilities.

Primary applications

• Tunnel washers and hood-type machines: automatic dosing in high-capacity equipment in restaurants, bars and cafés with hard or very hard mains water, where continuous cycles demand a stable detergent without result degradation.
• Central kitchens and food service: corporate canteens, industrial catering and collective feeding with continuous crockery washing in areas where water hardness is not previously treated.
• Hotel kitchen and catering departments: high-capacity washing equipment with variable water hardness supply depending on geographical area, where EU Ecolabel certification facilitates accreditation in internal audits.
• Healthcare and care facilities: hospitals, residential care homes and socio-healthcare centres with elevated hygiene requirements, frequent industrial dishwasher use and need for verifiable ingredient documentation.
• Event catering and rental equipment: temporary installations or equipment where water supply quality cannot be guaranteed, where the product's extended working range provides operational security.

Recommended sectors

• HoReCa — hotels, restaurants and cafés with high-capacity washing equipment in areas with hard or very hard mains water; established alternative to non-certified detergents in continuous-use environments.
• Healthcare and geriatric care — facilities with elevated hygiene requirements and frequent industrial dishwasher use, where ingredient traceability and EU Ecolabel documentation are verifiable assets.
• Service companies and facility management — centralised product management for multiple installations across geographical areas with documented water hardness, with distributor pricing and adaptable professional formats.
• Food service and food industry — central kitchens and corporate canteens with continuous washing cycles and non-softened mains water, where cycle-by-cycle performance stability is an operational requirement.
