Abstract: A cleaning solution for paper making equipment includes a stabilized source of peroxide in combination with a glycol ether solvent system and an alcohol ethoxylate. The peroxide system can be hydrogen peroxide stabilized with a phosphonate such as HEDP. The glycol solvent system may be a propylene glycol ether such as dipropylene glycol methylether or tripropylene glycol methylether. This solution can be formulated with a pH from about 4 to about 12. This is used by recirculating it through a paper making equipment during a shut down procedure.

Abstract: A detergent composition adapted to clean paper making equipment without the use of chlorinated compounds includes a phosphate sequesterant system, a non-foaming nonionic surfactant, a polyacrylic acid detergent polymer and, as a bleaching source, a combination of a peroxy compound and tetraacetylethylenediamine. Suitable peroxy compounds include sodium percarbonate, sodium perborate, and sodium persulfate. This composition, when added to water and circulated through paper making equipment effectively cleans the equipment, removing pitch and other stickies as well as dirts, greases, and the like.
