Citranox
Liquid Acid Cleaner and Detergent
Citranox contains a blend of organic acids, anionic and non-ionic surfactants andalkanolamines. Citranox is phosphate free.
- Used to clean: Dairy equipment, laboratory ware, sampling apparatus, lab stills, laser chillers, clean rooms, optical parts, electronic components, pharmaceutical apparatus, cosmetics manufacturing equipment, restaurant equipment, rethermolators, steam tables, metal forgings, stampings and castings, industrial parts, pipes, tanks, boilers and reactors
- Used to remove: Scale, metal oxides, metal complexes, trace inorganics, milkstone, pasta and starch, 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, and zinc if rinsed promptly. Corrosion testing may be advisable
- Cleaning method: Soak, brush, sponge, cloth, ultrasonic, flow through clean-inplace. Will foam—not for spray or machine use

Cleaning Validation Methods
Test a parameter of rinse water before and after rinsing the cleaned surface. Nosignificant change in the parameter indicates no detectable residue. Parametersmeasured include: pH, conductivity, UV, TOC, HPLC, sodium concentration, phosphorus concentration, anionic surfactant concentration using inexpensivedetergent water testing kits, surface tension, and surface analysis.
