IQ-C/3 is a concentrated degreasing cleaner with an alkaline base formulated for the removal of carbonised grease, proteinaceous residues and oil deposits fixed by heat on professional kitchen equipment. As a potent degreaser for intensive use, it acts on the molecular structure of ingrained grease, emulsifying residues to facilitate removal with water without the need for abrasive tool scrubbing, leaving no organoleptic residues after rinsing.
Description
IQ-C/3 is a concentrated industrial degreaser with an alkaline base designed for deep cleaning of professional kitchen equipment subjected to continuous heat. Its formulation acts on the molecular structure of carbonised grease, proteinaceous residues and polymerised oils, emulsifying them to allow removal with water without resorting to mechanical abrasion. Application at elevated temperature — between 70 and 80 ºC — accelerates the breakdown of deposits, reducing dwell time and effort required even in cases of severe encrustation.
Manufactured by Detervic / Instaquim, IQ-C/3 is part of a range of professional cleaning products developed for environments with strict food safety requirements. The Instaquim dilution system makes it possible to obtain up to five litres of working solution per litre of concentrated product, optimising cost-effectiveness in industrial kitchens, collective catering and hospitality establishments with high-volume culinary production.

Benefits for professional use
- Action on carbonised grease — breaks the molecular bonds that fix fatty residues to the substrate, reducing mechanical effort required and total cleaning time.
- High concentration and yield — each litre provides up to 5 litres of working solution through the Instaquim dilution system.
- Effective when hot — at 70-80 ºC heat accelerates the breakdown of fatty residues.
- Metal compatibility — can be used on all types of metal except aluminium.
Main applications
- Cooking plates: removes carbonised grease accumulated on metal surfaces (except aluminium) after intensive use.
- Industrial ovens: acts on grease encrustation and food residues on internal walls of convection, combi and pastry ovens, including those most adherent from repeated heat cycles.
- Deep fryers: dissolves polymerised oil residues accumulated on internal walls, heating elements and baskets without the need for mechanical abrasion, facilitating maintenance between services.
- Extraction filters and hoods: removes burnt grease from extractor hood filters.
- Work surfaces and auxiliary equipment: work tops, salamanders, industrial mixers and any equipment with grease deposits fixed by heat in hotel, collective and bakery kitchens.
Recommended sectors
- HoReCa — hotels, restaurants and cafés with intensive culinary production where cleaning of plates, ovens and hoods requires a professional degreaser of high efficacy on carbonised grease.
- Healthcare and geriatric care — central kitchens and pantries in residential and hospital facilities where food safety protocols are audited and product technical documentation is required.
- Service companies and facility management — integration into deep cleaning and preventive maintenance protocols for industrial kitchens and collective catering with high-frequency operations.
