Touchless and High-pH (Alkaline) Detergent Powders are concentrated, powdered cleaning agents formulated for vehicle washing applications that require no physical contact and maximum cleaning strength. These powders are designed with high alkaline pH levels (typically pH 11–13) to effectively break down heavy dirt, road film, oil, grease, insects, and brake dust. Once diluted in water, they are applied via foam cannons, pressure washers, or automated touchless car wash systems, delivering strong chemical cleaning action without brushes or sponges.
⚙️ Key Properties of Touchless and High-pH Detergent Powders
1. High Alkalinity (pH 11–13):
-
Aggressively targets organic and petroleum-based contaminants.
-
Ideal for removing road grime, oil, bug splatter, and industrial dirt.
2. Touchless Cleaning Action:
-
Requires no manual scrubbing, reducing risk of surface abrasion or swirl marks.
-
Perfect for fleet vehicles, trucks, and high-turnover car wash systems.
3. Powdered Concentrate Form:
-
Long shelf life, easy storage, and economical transportation.
-
Can be diluted to specific concentrations based on application needs.
4. Strong Surfactant and Builder System:
-
Contains anionic or nonionic surfactants, alkaline builders, and chelating agents to dissolve and lift dirt efficiently.
5. Foaming Capability:
-
Generates dense foam when applied with foam lances or injectors, increasing surface contact and dwell time.
6. Pre-Wash Compatibility:
-
Often used as a first step in two-step touchless systems, followed by a neutralizing or conditioning rinse.
7. Not Wax-Safe:
-
Can strip waxes, sealants, and coatings if used frequently or without proper neutralization or dilution.
8. Industrial & Commercial Use:
-
Favored in truck washes, bus depots, commercial vehicle maintenance, and professional detailing setups.
✅ Ideal Applications:
-
Heavy-duty pre-washing in commercial car wash tunnels
-
Touchless cleaning of fleets, trucks, buses, and off-road vehicles
-
Industrial environments where manual washing is impractical
-
Winter/snow season vehicle cleaning (salt and road grime removal)
