ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА ІМПОРТНИХ КИСЛОТНИХ МИЙНИХ ЗАСОБІВ, НАЯВНИХ НА РИНКУ УКРАЇНИ
The results of investigations of imported acidic detergents Eco cid, Acid XD, Biolight ST and Tigma - K, available for sale on the market of Ukraine are given. Organoleptic means of physico-chemical properties of 1,0% (working) solutions and their ability to destroy milkstone formed on milking equipment are investigated. The sensory characteristics of facilities correspond to the value indicated on quality certificates, a pH of 1,0% solution of facilities fall inside the limits of 1,3-1,9; surface tension of 44-61 mN/m; foaming capacity of 0-20%, which is equivalent of requirements for cleaning and detergent-disinfectant for milking equipment are found. Corrosive effect on stainless steel and aluminium for 1,0 % solutions of facilities of Acid XD, Biolight ST and Tigma - K amount to 0,1-1,1 g/m<sup>2</sup>-year and fall inside the limits of permissible rates (no more than 2,0 g/m<sup>2</sup>-year), solutions of these facilities provide complete destruction of milkstone on 90-94% is defined. These facilities are suitable for the sanitization of milking equipment, details which made from stainless steel or aluminium are set. 1,0% solution facilities of Eco cid provide complete destruction of milk stone by 86 % is fixed. Corrosive effect of this solution on stainless steel is 1,1 g/m<sup>2</sup>-year and is within normal limits, and for aluminum exceeds the permitted limit of 3,5 times is estimated. This mean is unappropriated for the sanitization of milking equipment the details of which are made from of aluminum is summarized.
