Colloidal Cleaners
Colloidal cleaners and colloidal cleaning products do represent very innovative colloidal surface cleaning substances that are characterized to be very safe to use, environmentally friendly as well as non-corrosive. Furthermore it has to be said that colloidal cleaners can be seen as technically advanced micelle based remediation products. So when it comes to cleaning in general colloidal cleaners do nowadays play an essential and very important role. That is amongst other things the reason why colloidal cleaning products have become very popular in the context of house cleaning and building cleaning. Big cities such as for instance Hamburg, Berlin, Vienna, Leipzig, etc. make use of both innovative and environmentally friendly colloidal surface cleaning substances – a fact that gets basically communicated by means of terms like Gebäudereinigung Hamburg or Gebäudereinigung Leipzig.
Until now, the average person has not heard yet of the terminus, word or expression ‘colloids’. Moreover most persons do not know what colloids have got to do with cleaning.
Strictly speaking colloid represents a specific chemical branch that deals with so-called multi-phase systems. Multi-phase systems can be colloids or special heterogeneous systems that do consist of a mixture of very tiny particles between 1 nm and 1,000 nm. These particles are suspended in another medium and are characterized to be electrically charged.
With regard to a better understanding concerning colloids we want to give a very practical example – strictly speaking ‘fog’. If you have a look at fog or steam within a sauna or steam bath, you can observe extremely tiny droplets of water moving around aimlessly and floating in the air.
But how do colloids provoke so-called cleaning effects? Fact is these already mentioned very tiny particles, which are strictly speaking technically known as ‘micelles’, move around in water. Consequently they do collide with the dirt on the surface that wants to be cleaned. So when it comes to a crash between micelles and dirt, the micelles peel off a very small piece which hence builds a coalition with the colloid. Subsequently it becomes suspended in the water. In this context it has to be said that this process occurs very rapidly in order to remove all the dirt from the respective surface.
Furthermore it has to be said that the micelles do stop the small pieces of dirt within the water mixture from reconnecting. So it is not possible that the pieces of dirt clump back on to the respective surface that has already been successfully cleaned.
