Natural Penicillins. David B. Beta-lactam ring interferes with final stage of cell wall synthesis by binding to peptidoglygan, bacterial enzyme that catalyzes cell wall strength. Bacteriocidal activity against many gram-positive organisms, as well as some spirochetes and fungi. Is susceptible to penicillinase (beta-lactamase).
Superior Syberkleen 2000 Saponifier is formulated for removing flux residues in batch or in-line cleaning systems. Superior Descaler removes mineral deposits that build up in water cleaning equipment over time.
Saponins comprise polycyclic aglycones. The sapogenin or the aglycone part is either a triterpene or steroid. The combination of sapogenin, hydrophobic or fat-soluble, hydrophilic or water-soluble sugar part enhances the foaming ability of saponins. Some toxic saponins are known as sapotoxin. Saponins are basically phyto-chemicals which are found in most of the vegetables, beans and herbs. The well known sources of saponins are soybeans, peas, and some herbs with the names that indicate foaming properties such as soapwort, soapberry, soapbark and soap root.
