Authorized by USDA for use in federally inspected meat and poultry plants. Passes inhibitory residue test for water analysis. FDA certified.
Used to remove:
Soil, grit, grime, slime, grease, tars, resins, fats, oils, blood, tissue, inorganic residues, particulates, solvents, chemicals and solvents.
Surfaces cleaned:
Corrosion inhibited formulation recommended for glass, metal, stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic, grout, plastic, rubber and fiberglass. Can be used on soft metals such as copper, aluminum, zinc and magnesium if rinsed promptly. Corrosion testing may be advisable.
Cleaning method:
Laboratory warewashers, water-sterilizers, washer-sanitizers, cart washers, cage washers, spray washers, electrocleaning, ultrasonic cleaners, flow through clean-in-place. Manual cleaning if proper skin and eye protection is used.
Directions:
Follow machine manufacturer’s directions and use machine’s powder detergent receptacles. In general, use 1/2 - 1% hot water wash cycle solutions (1 1/4 - 2 1/2 Tbsp. per gal., 3/4 - 1 1/4 oz. per gal. or 5-10 grams per liter—most machines need 2 1/2 oz. added at a typical 2 gal. wash cycle). For manual, soak, circulate, or ultrasonic use, make a 1% solution in warm or hot water. For abrasive scrubbing, make paste. For difficult soils, raise water temperature and use more detergent. Wear protective gloves and eyewear for manual cleaning. 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 ofglass, ceramic, plastic, and metal surfaces. Corrosion testing may be advisable.
Chemical Description
Alcojet is a blend of sodium silicate, a mixture of complex phosphate, concentrated organic chlorine, sodium carbonate, and an alkylalkoxylate. Alcojet is biodegradable and water soluble. The phosphate content is 8.7% expressed as phosphorus. Alcojet is non-ionic.
Cleaning Validation Methods
Test a parameter of rinse water before and after rinsing the cleaned surface, or test the clean surface. No significant change in the parameter indicates no detectable residue. Parameters measured include: pH, conductivity, resistance, spectrographic methods, sodium concentration, phosphorus concentration, surface tension, and surface analysis.
