Why Films Are the Future of Food Hygiene

In food manufacturing, surface hygiene isn’t just important, it’s critical. For decades, foaming detergents have been the standard for cleaning, based on the idea that foam sticks to surfaces longer. But new insights reveal a surprising truth: foam isn’t as effective as it looks.

Foam is mostly air (about 99.7% in fact). Only a tiny fraction of the cleaning agent actually touches the surface, making foam an inefficient and costly choice. Add in quick slide-off from vertical surfaces, heavy water use during rinsing, and high chemical wastage, and it’s clear: there has to be a better way.

Enter Foodclean’s Film-Based Detergents.

Unlike foam, films create a thick, chemical-rich layer that clings tightly to surfaces, even vertical ones, and stays in place for up to 40 minutes. Films deliver near-total surface coverage, are easier to rinse, and require lower chemical concentrations, saving you time, water, and money. Best of all, they can be applied with your existing foaming equipment.

It’s time to move beyond the bubbles. Foodclean’s film technology is redefining food hygiene – a smarter, safer, and a more effective solution.

Less waste, better coverage, faster rinsing — see for yourself how Foodclean’s films change are changing the industry.
