A phosphate-free alkaline car shampoo designed for commercial wash systems and hand washing applications with environmental compliance for biological water treatment facilities. Koch-Chemie Autoshampoo is verified biodegradable based on SDS ecological data.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
9.0
Active Mechanism
surfactant cleaning
Surfactants
3 (anionic, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
The disclosed components center around sodium alkyl benzenesulfonate as the primary anionic surfactant, working alongside nonionic surfactants to create a cleaning system that balances degreasing power with mildness. The alkaline pH of 9 enhances the surfactants' ability to emulsify oils and lift dirt while remaining compatible with biological water treatment systems.
Key Differentiators
- •VDA Class A certification for commercial car wash compliance
- •Formulated specifically for compatibility with biological service water treatment plants
- •Phosphate and NTA-free formulation for environmental compliance
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Danger signal word indicates significant hazard potential despite environmental claims
- ⚠Limited ingredient transparency makes it difficult to assess skin sensitivity potential
- ⚠Alkaline pH requires proper dilution ratios to prevent potential surface damage
