What is this product made of?
EmPower Fragrance-Free Detergent is formulated with a blend of high-quality protease enzymes and non-ionic surfactants that synergistically act on protein, carbohydrate, and lipid soils. The resulting enzymatic action dissolves and lifts organic debris from instruments and devices before sterilization or high-level disinfection. Its low-foaming profile minimizes suds in automated cleaning systems, aiding safe washing and preventing foaming issues that can interfere with processing equipment.
At-a-glance comparison:
- Dual-enzymatic vs single-enzyme detergents: dual enzymes expand the range of soils acted upon, improving cleaning efficacy on mixed organic debris.
- Low-foaming vs. high-foaming: low-foaming is optimal for automated units and ultrasonic cleaners, reducing residue and machine interference.
This formulation supports thorough pre-cleaning and smoother downstream sterilization steps.
What is it used for?
This detergent cleans and pre-treats dental and medical instruments and accessories before they undergo sterilization or high-level disinfection.
