Astral Enzyme Drain Opener is a specially formulated Liquid made with a range of micro-organisms for use in
biodegrading Fats, Oils and Greases. Astral is used for keeping drains and grease traps in restaurants, hotels and commercial buildings free from deposits of grease and fat
Astral penetrates the surface and sinks deep into the greasy deposits in drains and grease traps and
start to break them up. The microorganisms form a biomass within the
deposits and on the internal surface of the drains. The micro-organisms produce enzymes
which go to work on the fat, oils and grease.
Astral is ideal for use in Restaurants, Hotels, Fast Food Outlets and Portable Toilets. It reduces physical removal of grease and keeps drains and sinks flowing and reduces the chance of blocking.

Aerobic biological wastewater treatment plants are effective in treating aqueous solutions of surfactants. Treatment efficiency will depend on the treatment plant conditions. As with any wastewater disposal, consultation with the local treatment plant operating staff is recommended. In
some places it is required by law.
