USE OF ACTIVATOR COMPLEXES TO ENHANCE LOWER TEMPERATURE CLEANING IN ALKALINE PEROXIDE CLEANING SYSTEMS

摘要

The present invention provides for the use of activator complexes to enhance lower temperature cleaning in alkaline peroxide cleaning systems. Compositions including an activator complex, an active oxygen source, and a source of alkalinity are applied to the surface to be cleaned at temperatures between about 5°C and about 50°C. The methods of the present invention provide for enhanced soil removal with reduced energy, water, and chemistry consumption.
