Why this decarboniser earns its place
Xcarbonator's 10kg Decarboniser Powder is the larger-format version of the same non-caustic decarbonising formula, built for use in an Xcarbonator decarbonising unit to strip stubborn, baked-on grease, grime and dirt from pots, pans, utensils and extraction filters.
One 10kg bag makes up to 200 litres of solution at a 5% dilution rate, effectively doubling the soak tank volume of the 5kg pack for kitchens getting through more equipment or running a larger tank. Being non-corrosive and non-caustic, it's safe on aluminium as well as steel cookware, avoiding the pitting and damage that caustic alternatives can cause on softer metals.
The concentrated formula is designed to be economical in use, working out cost-effective per litre of soak solution made up, while still delivering enough cleaning power to shift tough, baked-on residue from heavily used catering equipment. As with the 5kg pack, it's classed as an irritant, so gloves and eye protection are recommended when handling and mixing the powder.
COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
