Deter Al, Super concentrated detergent for aluminium utensils.

Deter Al

Super concentrated detergent for aluminium utensils.

Super concentrated detergent that has been specially designed to remove dirt from trays, moulds and other aluminium utensils. Its high cleaning capacity makes it an indispensable tool in industries, canteens, restaurants, bars and any other activity that requires efficient cleaning of aluminium utensils. This product is highly effective, thanks to its super-concentrated formulation that allows deep cleaning in a single pass, without leaving residues and without producing foam. It is also very versatile and can be used in decalcified water. Dosing is very simple, only 1 to 5 g/l depending on the hardness of the water and a temperature between 55 and 60 ºC is required to achieve optimum results. To further improve performance, automatic dosing is recommended. It has a transparent light brown liquid appearance and its main components include phosphonates and phosphates, both in amounts of less than 5% and between 5 and 15%, respectively. It also contains sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, which help to improve its cleaning ability. The superconcentrated detergent is packaged in 24 kg packages, which guarantees a long usage time.

Deter Al is a superconcentrated industrial detergent and antifoaming product specifically developed for aluminium cleaning in automatic washing equipment. Its adjusted formula eliminates cooked fats, oils and residues adhered to aluminium trays, moulds and utensils without attacking the material, preserving the integrity of the parts cycle after cycle in industrial kitchens, bakeries and food production lines.

01Aluminium-specific formula: cleans without attacking or degrading the material surface.
02Integrated antifoaming: maintains operational pressure of tunnel washers and industrial dishwashers in continuous cycles.
03Superconcentrated: low dosages per cycle reduce consumption and optimise cost per wash.
04Ammonia-free, chlorine-free, no artificial dyes: suitable for food handling environments with traceability requirements.
05EDTA and NTA-free: chelating agents compliant with European detergent regulations.

Description

Aluminium is a reactive material against poorly formulated alkaline cleaning products: excessive alkalinity causes surface oxidation, loss of shine and progressive deterioration of utensils. Deter Al solves this problem with a balanced formula that guarantees cleaning efficacy on cooked fats, oils and adhered residues without compromising the treated surface. Its antifoaming action is decisive in automatic washing: foam generation in tunnel washers and industrial dishwashers reduces working pressure, interrupts cycles and compromises the final result. With Deter Al, equipment maintains its operational pressure during continuous cycles without manual adjustments or technical downtime.

Deter Al is a product formulated and manufactured by Detervic / Instaquim, specialists in professional industrial detergency. It is designed for installations with high rotation of aluminium utensils in industrial kitchens, bakeries, food production lines and catering, where material integrity and operational continuity are non-negotiable requirements.

Benefits for professional use

  • Non-corrosive aluminium formulation — balanced formula that removes fats and residues without causing oxidation, loss of shine or progressive deterioration of trays, moulds and utensils.
  • Integrated antifoaming — designed for intensive automatic washing; prevents foam generation that would compromise the working pressure of tunnel washers and industrial dishwashers.
  • Compatible with softened water — maintains cleaning efficacy without leaving stains or deposits in installations with water treatment.
  • Ammonia-free, chlorine-free, no artificial dyes — safe formula for food handling environments and suitable for installations with food industry cleaning traceability requirements.
  • Superconcentrated — low dosages per cycle optimise cost per wash and reduce product consumption in high-rotation installations.
  • EDTA and NTA-free — formulated with chelating agents compliant with European detergent regulations.
  • Reduces manual reworking — the result achieved in the machine eliminates or minimises the need for subsequent intervention on treated utensils.

Primary applications

  • Industrial kitchens and collective canteens: industrial washing of aluminium oven trays, cooking containers and service trays contaminated with high-temperature cooked fats.
  • Bakeries and industrial pastry: moulds, rings and aluminium plates subject to contamination by fats, caramelised sugars and adhered dough, with continuous washing cycles.
  • Food production lines: cleaning of aluminium components and tools in food-contact machinery, where material integrity is critical and substrate compatibility is decisive.
  • Catering and collective catering: installations with high daily rotation of utensils requiring continuous cycles in industrial dishwashers and tunnel washers without foam-related interruptions.
  • Industrial cleaning service companies: product for cleaning aluminium with automatic washing in third-party installations, with the possibility of reducing stock references thanks to its versatility across different equipment.

Recommended sectors

  • HoReCa — hotels, restaurants and cafés with intensive production kitchens and catering service areas working with aluminium trays, moulds and tools in daily automatic washing.
  • Food industry — production lines and machinery in contact with food where aluminium compatibility and regulatory compliance are operational requirements.
  • Service companies and facility management — collective catering management, catering and company canteens with automatic washing equipment and high rotation of aluminium utensils.

Guidance on use

01
Verify that aluminium utensils are compatible with automatic washing before first use.
02
Load the product into the automatic dispenser of the industrial dishwasher or tunnel washer according to equipment instructions.
03
Adjust the dosage per cycle according to the degree of soiling, volume of utensils and installation water conditions.
04
Select the appropriate washing programme for aluminium utensils on the equipment and run the cycle.
05
Upon completion, verify the result on treated pieces; in high-contamination conditions a second cycle may be required without the need for intensive pre-washing.

Specific dilutions, contact times and recommendations are available in the product technical datasheet.

Frequently asked questions

What is Deter Al for?

Deter Al is a superconcentrated industrial detergent and antifoaming product specific for aluminium cleaning in automatic washing equipment. It eliminates cooked fats, oils and residues adhered to aluminium trays, moulds and utensils without attacking the material, maintaining the operational pressure of tunnel washers and industrial dishwashers in continuous cycles.

Why do I need a special detergent for aluminium in automatic washing?

Aluminium reacts to poorly formulated alkaline cleaning products: excessive alkalinity causes surface oxidation, loss of shine and progressive deterioration of utensils. A general-purpose detergent not adapted to the material can cause damage over time. Deter Al is specifically formulated to clean effectively without compromising aluminium integrity.

Which sectors is it recommended for?

It is indicated for HoReCa (hotels, restaurants, cafés), food industry, catering, bakeries, industrial pastry and cleaning service companies working with aluminium utensils in automatic washing equipment.
