Authorized by USDA for use in federally inspected meat and poultry plants. Passes inhibitory residue test for water analysis. Used to Remove: Scale, metal oxides, metal complexes, trace inorganics, milkstone, soil, grit, buffing compound, grime, grease, fats, oils, particulates, deposits, chemical and solvents. Surfaces Cleaned: Corrosion inhibited formulation recommended for glass, metal, stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic, plastic, rubber and fiberglass. Can be used on soft metals such as copper, bronze, aluminum, zinc and magnesium if rinsed promptly. Corrosion testing may be advisable. Cleaning Method: Soak, brush, sponge, cloth, ultrasonic, flow through clean-in-place. Will foam--not for spray or machine use. 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.

CITRANOX is phosphate free. Cleaning Validation Methods: Test a parameter of rinse water before and after rinsing the cleaned surface. No significant change in the parameter indicates no detectable residue. Parameters measured include: pH, conductivity, TOC, HPLC, UV, spectrographic methods, sodium concentration, phosphorus concentration, anionic surfactant concentration using inexpensive detergent water testing kits, surface tension, and surface analysis.
