- Surface active elements of surfactants. The elements are active components of all cleaning products and powders. They perform a lubricating role and also stop the formation of foam. When surfactants are added to Mole, pipe cleaning is more effective. The element reduces the negative impact on the chemical activity of salts found in hard water. Surfactant is added in the amount of 5-10%.
- Distilled water. This is a simple liquid in which caustic soda will dissolve. Its volume does not fall below 30 percent.
Some manufacturers may add other components that help clean pipes effectively.
The following substances:
- Sodium hypochlorite. The element is considered an inorganic compound, which is characterized by increased oxidizing ability. It has a strong chlorine smell. The substance is considered antiseptic. It should not be used in metal pipes as it may cause corrosion.
- Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The product effectively removes metal salts and limescale.
- Potassium hydroxide. Most often, the element is used in granular or gel-like Mole. the substance will quickly remove the blockage and improve the flow through the pipes.

If you use Mole correctly, you can get rid of severe blockages in pipes in a few hours. The components of the composition can easily cope with various contaminants.
Features of the Mole's interaction with blockages
The essence of the work of the Mole pipe cleaner is to distribute inorganic alkalis and active additives through the pipeline, which will lead to the rapid removal of blockages in it. This combination creates a mixture that has a deadly effect on any solid particles in pipelines. It is safe for the pipes themselves, since they are made from materials inert to chemical attack.
Main places of blockages:
- pipeline bends;
- connecting elbows;
- siphons;
- rubber sealing inserts;
- tow embedded in cast iron pipelines.
Each of these places is the Achilles heel of a plumbing system, because in places where the water pressure slows down, solids can cling to the surface of the pipe, and then larger clogs grow on them. The main reason for this accumulation of various wastes is the content of various vegetable and animal fats in wastewater.
It is quite simple to determine that the pipeline is clogged: water flows poorly, and an unpleasant odor comes from the drain hole. The active ingredients of Mole perform the task of softening and decomposing solid particles, which allows them to be subsequently simply washed down the drain by running water through the system.
The most difficult components to remove are the following:
- fats;
- proteins;
- salts isolated from fatty acids;
- collagen fibers (hair, wool, scales, etc.).
All active components included in the Mole cleaning product are aimed precisely at removing these blockages.
