Why this chemical earns its place
Streaking and water spots on glassware and cutlery are usually down to surface tension, not dirt, and this Sun Pro Formula rinse aid is built specifically to address that. Its surfactants reduce the surface tension of the rinse water, so water sheets off rather than beading and drying into marks, leaving tableware and equipment sparkling.
It also speeds up drying considerably, which matters in a long-cycle, manual-dose dishwasher where turnaround between loads affects how quickly crockery, cutlery, glassware, pots, pans and utensils get back into service.
Rated for use in all water conditions, it isn't limited to soft-water sites, and at a working dose of just 0.2-0.4ml per litre of water, the 2 litre concentrate goes a long way, keeping the cost-per-use low.
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.
