How it Works

Oxygen-Based Cleaning. Mildly Alkaline pH.

Made in the USA, pH7X® combines oxygen-releasing ingredients with alkaline cleaning action to help loosen beverage residues and other organic soils. It offers a cleaning approach that operates closer to neutral than strongly alkaline caustic solutions.

What Does a 1% Solution Measure?

In distilled water tests, a 1% solution measures pH 8.6–8.9 when the starting water measured pH 7.0. Actual readings vary with source water, concentration, and measurement conditions.

This measurement describes a freshly prepared cleaning solution. The pH can change as the solution reacts with residues during cleaning.

The Chemistry Behind pH7X®

The formula contains sodium percarbonate, which releases hydrogen peroxide when dissolved in water. This provides oxygen-based cleaning action alongside the formula’s alkaline ingredients. Cleaning performance depends on concentration, contact time, temperature, circulation, and the type of residue.

Disodium metasilicate contributes alkalinity and buffering, helps keep loosened soils dispersed, and supports emulsification of oily residues. Silicates can also help protect metal surfaces by inhibiting corrosion and reducing alkaline attack in cleaning formulations.

A Less Extreme pH at the Drain

Replacing a strong caustic solution with a mildly alkaline pH7X® working solution can help limit high-pH shocks to wastewater treatment. A milder cleaning process helps you reduce extreme-pH inputs at the source—before the used solution reaches treatment.

The peroxide component breaks down into water and oxygen, supporting an oxygen-based approach to cleaning with a milder pH profile.
