Citranox Acid Cleaner and Detergent

• Contains acid ingredients for high performance removal of metal oxides, salts
and inorganic residues combined with full detergent capability

Make up detergent solution in a separate container. Add cleaning solution, run machine for several minutes, to degas solution and allow heater to come up to temperature. Place groups of small articles in racks or baskets. Align irregularly shaped articles so the long axis of any part faces the ultrasonic transducer (usually the bottom). Immerse articles to be cleaned for 2-10 minutes, or longer, as needed.

Remove and rinse thoroughly in ambient, warm or hot water.  A running water rinse directly contacting all surfaces for at least 10 seconds on each surface is desirable. If not practical, use a series of three or more agitated soak rinse tanks or at least two counter-flow cascade rinse tanks. For large surfaces, several passes with a clean cloth or sponge soaked with rinse water followed by a clean, dry, absorbent wipe can work. In machine cleaning, after washing there should be at least three rinse cycles. Tap water is suitable for many rinsing applications. Give medical and surgical instruments a final rinse in distilled or deionized water. In laboratories, rinse tissue culture and analytical ware with deionized or distilled water. Rinse trace organic analytical ware in distilled or organic-free water. Give trace metal or inorganic analytical ware a final rinse with deionized water. Rinse pharmaceutical equipment according to good manufacturing practice with whichever is required: potable, deionized, distilled, sterile, pyrogen-free or injectable water. Rinse electronic circuit boards and non-conducting electronic devices with deionized water. Sensitive optical or precision manufactured parts may require final rinses in deionized or distilled water. Food processing equipment must be rinsed with potable water.

Phosphate free, concentrated cleaner and metal brightener for high performance removal of metal oxides, scale, salts and inorganic residues in manual and ultrasonic cleaning. Corrosion inhibited and free rinsing for reliable results and no interfering residues. Ideal for trace metal analysis.

Directions:

Make a fresh 1 - 2% solution (3 - 5 Tbsp. per gal., 1 1/4 - 2 1/2 oz. per gal. or 10 - 20 ml per liter) in cold, warm or hot water. If available, use hot water. For difficult soils, raise water temperature and use more detergent. Clean by soak, circulate, wipe or ultrasonic method. Wear protective gloves and eyewear. Not for spray machines, will foam. RINSE THOROUGHLY—preferably with running water. For critical cleaning, do final or all rinsing in distilled, deionized or purified water. For food contact surfaces, rinse with potable water. Used on a wide range of glass, ceramic, plastic and metal surfaces. Corrosion testing may be advisable.
