50°C programmes and compact powders
On the basis of their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be classified into two groups:
-conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components:
-low-alkaline compact powders with natural enzymes.
The enzymes in low-alkaline compact powders have a dirt-dissolving effect and are also biodegradable. These enzymes deploy their full dirt-dissolving power within a temperature range of 40-50°C. In 50°C washing programmes, the temperature range and duration of the heating phases are precisely matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes.
In combination with low-alkaline compact powders, 50°C washing programmes, at a temperature as low as 50°C, therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes.
The lack of any caustic components in low-alkaline compact powders and the lower cleaning temperature of 50°C washing programmes are not only environmentally friendly, but also care for your crockery.
