Biologically active cleaning element for the continuous cleaning of deposits in drain and siphon areas.

Abstract

Biologically active cleaning element for the continuous cleaning of drain and siphon areas, characterized in that the cleaning element consists of a biodegradable polymeric carrier material and is intended for temporary placement in the drain area.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the continuous maintenance and cleaning of drainage systems, in particular the siphon area, using a biologically active pad. State of the art

[0002] Common solutions like drain cleaners, enzyme powders, tablets, or manual cleaning tools only work in the short term or require repeated application. No products exist that remain permanently in the siphon, continuously break down organic deposits, and are simultaneously stable and safe for household use. Object of the invention

[0003] The aim is to provide a product that: • can remain permanently in the siphon • Continuously breaks down organic residues (hair, fats, soap residues) • uses natural, non-aggressive active ingredients • Universally applicable in siphons of showers, sinks and bathtubs • prevents the formation of blockages Solution to the task

[0004] The task is solved by a biologically active siphon pad (“Fluxa”) which has the following features: 1. A biodegradable, water-stable carrier material shaped as a pad that flexibly conforms to the inner contour of a siphon. 2. An active formulation consisting of enzymes and / or microorganisms for the decomposition of organic materials. 3. A controlled release function that enables continuous drug delivery over several weeks. 4. A geometric design that prevents slippage or washout. 5. Usability without mechanical fixation - the pad stays in place solely due to its shape, material and siphon flow position. Advantages of the invention • Continuous cleaning instead of a one-time shock treatment • no harsh chemicals • Reduces odors • Prevents blockages in the long term • environmentally friendly and suitable for household use • Easy application without removing the siphon Examples of implementation

[0005] The invention can be implemented in various pad shapes, including: • U-shape (preferred variant, optimal siphon support) • Flexible strips (self-adjusting to pipe shape) • Spiral pad (self-fixing, large surface area) • Cylindrical shape (compact “mini-worm” for smaller siphons)

[0006] The function remains the same in all forms: continuous breakdown of organic substances in the siphon. Reference symbol list 1 Carrier material (biodegradable) 2 Functional Zone (Additives / Active Ingredients)

Claims
