Description
With this lab equipment cleaner, critically clean processing equipment, whether it be labware, glassware, filing equipment, or processing and extraction equipment, is vital. Waxy, resin, oily, and sticky residues abound which can be highly adherent, difficult to emulsify, and just a plain challenge to remove. Detonox lab glass cleaner is not only effective, but end-user safe, aqueous, free-rinsing, interfering residue-free, biodegradable, and without any added dyes, fragrances, brighteners or softeners. In other words, perfect for cleaning medicinal “flower” extracts.
Used to Remove: Cosmetic bases and formulations, organics, grease, tars, resins, waxes, fats, oils, titanium and zinc oxides, ointments, and lotions
Surfaces Cleaned: Recommended for glass, stainless steel, PTFE, ceramic, cement and solvent resistant plastics, and metals. Corrosion testing is advisable
Cleaning Method: Soak, circulate under immersions, ultrasonic cleaners, and manual cleaning.
Directions: Make a fresh 1-6% solution (1 ¼ – 3 3/4 oz. per gal. or 10-30 mL per liter) in cold, warm or hot water. If available, use very hot water to clean cosmetic residues. For difficult soils, raise water temperature and use more detergent. Clean by soak, circulate, wipe, or ultrasonic method. Not for spray machines, will foam. RINSE THOROUGHLY—preferably with running water. For critical cleaning, do final or all rinsing in purified water.Updates from the manufacturer:Alconox Inc. is extending the shelf life of the below trademarked detergent.
