Spray Cleaner

Spray cleaners based on hydroxide can pick up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and such carbonated solutions become less effective. 

Immersion cleaning or dipping is often employed, particularly in situations where the dissolution of the contaminant requires and inordinate period of time such as several minutes. In all cases where soaking is involved, it should be followed by some type of spray cleaner with fresh reagent, followed by thorough drying. 

For reduced foam levels as in an alkaline spray cleaner, replace Burco NPS-225 with Burco HCS-50NF.

With so many different kinds of cleaning tasks in the home, consumers are looking for convenience, efficiency, and time savings from products. To satisfy these needs many products are moving toward more dilute, ready-to-use form. Sprays are popular forms to meet these needs. There is a large array of spray cleaners now available, including all-purpose cleaners and cleaners for bathrooms, kitchens, furniture, and glass. 

The biggest change in household cleaners around the turn of the millennium, largely in the developed markets of Europe and North America, was the rise of wipes as a product form. These take the convenience factor even further, presenting the cleaner at its use concentration (like spray cleaners) but already impregnated in the cleaning implement. Wipes constitute yet another delivery system for liquid cleaners. 

In reality, few systems are Newtonian, and some of the other principal rheological profiles are also shown in Figure 5.1. In many cases a Newtonian behavior is not desirable for a formulated product. This can be illustrated by the case of a spray cleaner. A certain minimum viscosity is often required such that the material appears to be concentrated in the bottle. The visual appearance is referred to in this chapter as the apparent viscosity and is generally considered to correspond to a shear rate of the order of 10 sec-1 (reciprocal seconds). If the formulation is Newtonian, then the viscosity will remain the same even at the relatively high shear rates corresponding to spraying (Figure 5.2). This is not desirable, as the spray pattern obtained varies considerably with the viscosity of the fluid in the spray nozzle, and better atomization is observed when the viscosity is low. Consequently, an ideal profile for such a formulation is one in which the viscosity decreases as... 

Spray cleaners are also of this type. The formula is already at the concentration appropriate for use, and the dispenser easily spreads a small amount of cleaner.
