Forma
Concentrated detergent
Product for washing all types of clothes at any temperature. Dissolves so easily that it can even be used in cold water. Can be used in water up to 40ºHF of hardness.
Forma is a concentrated powder detergent formulated for industrial laundry and collective facilities. As a high-concentration industrial washing machine detergent, it removes fats, proteins and stains of organic origin from all types of fabrics, with consistent efficacy from cold cycles to high-temperature programmes, without the need for additional softeners or descalers.
Description
Forma is a high-concentration powder detergent specifically formulated for industrial laundry and collective facilities. Its formula acts on fats, proteins and stains of organic origin in all types of fabrics—cotton, synthetics, blends and professional-use garments—maintaining consistent performance regardless of cycle temperature. Immediate water solubility ensures that surfactants are available from the first minute, making it suitable for industrial washing machines with optimised cycle times and for facilities working with hard water up to 40 ºHF without the need for external softeners or descalers.
Forma is a product manufactured by Detervic / Instaquim, with a proprietary formulation designed for high-volume professional environments: hospitals, hotels, care facilities, service companies and industrial laundries. Its profile without EDTA, without NTA, without artificial dyes and without caustic soda meets both operational safety requirements and environmental suitability criteria in line with European detergent regulations.

Benefits for professional use
- Cost reduction per wash — High concentration allows managing more loads with less product. Reduced dosages per kilogramme of dry laundry have a direct impact on the operational cost of industrial laundries with multiple daily cycles.
- Efficacy from 30 °C — Immediate cold solubility allows scheduling cycles at reduced temperature without compromising results, with measurable energy savings in high-volume facilities.
- No external additives for hard water — Compatibility with hard water up to 40 ºHF eliminates the need for additional softeners or descalers, simplifying the washing protocol.
- Reduced accumulation in drum and hydraulic circuit — High concentration reduces residue in the industrial washing machine system, contributing to lower equipment maintenance in the long term.
- Safe formula for handling — Without caustic soda, without chlorine and without ammonia.
Main applications
- Hospitals and healthcare centres: washing of bed linens, gowns and uniforms with high hygiene requirements. The perfume-free and artificial dye-free formula reduces the risk of irritations in sensitive environments.
- Hotels and accommodation: management of large volumes of bed linen, towels and staff uniforms in hotel laundries. Adjustable dosage allows controlling cost per item based on soiling level.
- Care facilities and geriatric centres: daily-use garments with intense organic soiling, where low-temperature efficacy reduces fibre deterioration in frequent cycles.
- Restaurants and hospitality: tablecloths, napkins and kitchen linens with stains from oils, sauces and proteins. The concentrated detergent acts from the start of the cycle, even in short programmes.
- Service companies and collective facilities: work uniforms, protective clothing and industrial garments in laundries with multiple daily loads, where concentration and flexible dosage simplify stock management.
Recommended sectors
- HoReCa — Hotels, restaurants and cafes with large volumes of bed linen, tablecloths and uniforms. Forma's concentration reduces cost per wash and simplifies product management in professional kitchens and laundries.
- Healthcare and geriatric care — Washing of bed linens, uniforms and clinical-use garments. The perfume-free, chlorine-free and artificial dye-free formula is suitable for environments with sensitive staff and patients.
- Service companies and facility management — Unification of the washing protocol for uniforms and work clothing in large collective facilities with multiple daily loads.
- Industry and food processing — Washing of protective clothing and uniforms with greasy and industrial soiling in facilities with intensive-use industrial washing machines.
