Plastics in the Milk Industry — A Critical Study, V. Communication: Cleansing and Disinfection of Plastic Surfaces 2nd Part: Hygienic State of Plastic Surfaces and Their Consequences Plastic articles, meant for repeated use in direct contact with food-stuffs can permanently establish themselves, only if success is achieved in maintaining plastic appliances and parts clean and germ-free without much difficulty. Because in some respects the properties of the plastics deviate from those of hitherto employed materials of construction, the former set specific requirements on cleansing agents and cleansing processes. The cleansing solutions for the plastics must be physico-chemically more effective, in order to overcome the strong adhesion of fatty impurities. Since it is basically doubtful, whether polyolefines without adverse effects can at all be employed for repeated use in direct contact with fat-containing milk products, intensive trials should be made with plastics having lower affinity for fat.
