Non-refillable PET bottles are shredded into PET flakes for recycling, which have to be cleaned. Foam forms during this cleaning process and must be suppressed by means of defoamers. This hinders the efficiency of the process and pollutes the environment. With SurTec 072, the surface specialist SurTec has developed a highly efficient cleaner that reduces the need for defoamer by half.
SurTec 072 reliably cleans PET flakes from contaminants such as food residues, adhesive residues and lidding material. It allows optimal PET flake cleaning while protecting against recontamination and is approved for indirect contact with food. In addition, it is not a hazardous material.
