In the realm of railway maintenance, the choice of cleaning agents is pivotal. Traditionally, companies have leaned towards high pH chemicals for cleaning the exterior of rolling stock. However, these chemicals often come close to being classed as 'caustic-based', which, while effective for unblocking drains, are not suited for cleaning vehicles that transport millions of passengers daily.
The Risks of High pH Cleaners
Using high pH chemicals can lead to several detrimental effects:
Dull Paintwork: Aggressive chemicals can strip away the glossy finish of train exteriors, leading to a lackluster appearance that reflects poorly on service providers.
Environmental Impact: High pH cleaners often pose challenges with wastewater disposal, potentially harming local waterways and violating environmental regulations.
Safety Concerns: The caustic nature of these cleaners increases the risk of chemical burns to maintenance staff, compromising workplace safety.
