Cleaning agents can come in various forms such as liquids, powders, gels, or sprays, and they are formulated to target specific types of surfaces.
Teepol, M-DET 300 solution are use in 1% ratio. It is most commonly use in pharma industry on daily basis for cleaning of floor, surface, equipments, assesories, utensils, glassware etc.
Sanitizing agents:
Sanitizing agents in the pharma industry are crucial for maintaining clean and sterile environments to ensure the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products. These agents are used to disinfect the surfaces, equipments, and facilities to prevent microbial contamination during manufacturing, packaging, and storage processes. Sanitizing agents help to control the growth and spread of harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi that could compromise product quality and patient safety.
Most Common sanitizing agents used in pharma industry are:
Example: Dettol solution 2.5%, Savlon solution 2. 5%, Lysole solution 2.5%, Gremiside solution 1.0% are most commonly used for surface and area disinfection.
70% Iso-propyle Alcohol (IPA) are most commonly used due to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. They are effective against a wide range of microorganisms and are used to disinfect surfaces, equipment, and cleanroom.
Hydrogen peroxide is also used as a sanitizing agent in pharmaceutical cleanrooms and facilities due to its strong oxidizing properties, which help to kill microorganisms and spores.
So cleaning & sanitizing agents are crucial in pharma industrial for cleaning in process & manufacturing area for cleaning & sanitizing of floor, coving, surface, wall fixture, light fixtures, S.S assesories etc. on daily cleaning to prevents microbial growth.
