Food Processing Chemicals

Professional Cleaning & Hygiene Solutions for Food & Beverage Manufacturing

BD Chemicals manufactures and supplies an advanced range of specialised cleaning, degreasing, and sanitising chemicals engineered for high-demand food and beverage production environments. From automated Clean-in-Place (CIP) circulation to open-plant foam cleaning, our formulations safeguard food safety, support regulatory compliance, and optimise production turnaround times.

Clean-in-Place (CIP) Chemicals

Clean-in-Place Solutions for Closed Systems

Formulated for circulation through pipelines, pasteurisers, heat exchangers, and bulk storage tanks. These solutions effectively dissolve and strip organic soils, burnt-on proteins, fats, and stubborn mineral scale (milkstone) without damaging system metallurgy.


CIP ALKA

Type: Concentrated Alkaline CIP Detergent

Key Action: High-caustic cleaner built with advanced sequestrants and low-foam wetting agents to dissolve organic build-up and fatty residues.


KLENZ ALKA

Type: Low-Foaming Chlorinated Alkaline Cleaner

Key Action: Combines alkalinity and hypochlorite to destain, saponify protein films, and sanitise circulation loops in a single pass.


CIP ACID

Type: Acid-Based Descaler & Neutraliser

Key Action: Heavy-duty acid wash formulated to dissolve calcium scale, mineral deposits, and milkstone from vessel interiors and piping networks.

Foam Cleaning Chemicals

High-Adhesion Open Plant & Surface Cleaning

Engineered for open processing equipment, vertical walls, cutting lines, conveyors, and exterior tank surfaces. Stable,dense foam provides extended contact time on vertical surfaces to break down greasy residues.


FOAM PLUS

Type: Chlorinated Alkaline Foaming Detergent & Sanitiser

Key Action:Clings to vertical surfaces, cutting through heavy animal fats and proteins while bleaching organic stains.


PER A FOAM

Type: Peracetic Acid-Based Foaming Sanitiser

Key Action: High-foaming oxidative sanitiser designed for spray-on sanitation across floors, walls, and structural stainless processing equipment.

Food-Grade Disinfectants & Sanitisers

Validated Food-Contact & Environmental Hygiene

Terminal broad-spectrum sanitising agents for CIP loops, rinse tanks, conveyor belts, and ambient food preparation surfaces.


PER A CETIC

Type:Low-Foaming Peracetic Acid (PAA) Sanitiser

Key Action: Highly active oxidative biocide that leaves no harmful chemical residuals. Designed for CIP rinse cycles and food-contact equipment.


PER A FOAM

Type: Foaming Peracetic Acid Sanitiser

Key Action: Extended-contact foam sanitiser formulated for terminal surface disinfection across open preparation zones.


SUPER-CHLOR-D

Type: Concentrated Chlorine-Based Disinfectant

Key Action: Broad-spectrum disinfection for food-processing hard surfaces, drains, and non-porous processing tables.

Crate & Container Washing

High-Throughput Washing Solutions for Reusable Transit Items

Formulated to prevent wash-tank foaming in high-pressure automatic tunnel washers, while lifting mud, syrup, protein residue, and blood from plastic crates, trays, and pallets.


CRATE WASH LF (Low Foam)

Type: Automated Machine & Tunnel Washer Detergent

Key Action: Formulated with low-foam surfactants to maintain pump pressure and avoid foam overflow in continuous high-speed automated tunnels.


CRATE WASH HF (High Foam)

Type: Manual & Immersion Crate Cleaner

Key Action: High-foaming manual detergent for dip tanks, manual scrub bays, and high-pressure hand-lance wash bays.

Smokehouse & Heavy-Duty Degreasing

Removal of Polymerised Grease, Tar & Carbon Deposits

Specialist high-alkalinity chemical solutions designed to strip burnt-on grease, carbon, sugar glazes, and smoke resins from cookers, ovens, fryers, and smokehouses.


SMOKE HOUSE CLEANER

Type: Heavy-Duty Alkaline Carbon & Resin Stripper

Key Action: Rapidly penetrates and emulsifies baked-on carbon deposits, smoke resin, and charred animal fats in hot thermal processing equipment.


MULTICLEAN FG

Type: Food-Grade Multi-Purpose Degreaser

Key Action: Versatile general degreaser formulated for splash zones, packing rooms, stainless tables, and production floors.


DEGREASER 10-10 X (back-of-plant/infrastructure cleaning)

Type: Concentrated Heavy-Duty Industrial/Facility Degreaser

Key Action: Formulated for external plant infrastructure, loading docks, and maintenance workshops.

Chemical Hygiene Audits & Dosing Support

Selecting the right cleaning chemistry depends on soil type, water hardness, contact time, and surface materials. Our technical team works alongside quality assurance managers to establish cleaning standard operating procedures (SOPs),dosing systems, and dilution guidance to keep your facility audit-ready.
