FAQs
What is Citranox used for?
Citranox is a liquid acid cleaner and detergent used to remove inorganic deposits such as metal oxides and mineral scale as well as organic soils. It cleans labware, sampling apparatus, stills, and dairy and food-processing equipment, making it useful where both mineral and organic residues must be removed.
What is Citranox made of?
It is a blend of organic acids with anionic and non-ionic surfactants and alkanolamines, and it is phosphate free. The organic acids provide the acidic cleaning action for mineral and oxide deposits, while the surfactants give detergent action to lift organic soils in a single product.
Is Citranox phosphate free?
Yes. Citranox is phosphate free, which can be important for facilities with wastewater or environmental requirements that limit phosphate discharge. Being phosphate free lets it be used where phosphate-containing cleaners are restricted, while still providing effective acid cleaning and detergency.
How is Citranox used?
As a concentrated cleaner, Citranox is diluted in water and applied per the manufacturer's directions for the surface and soil being cleaned, whether by manual, soak, or automated methods. Always follow the recommended dilution and contact time, and review the Safety Data Sheet before handling the concentrate.
What sizes are available?
The group spans a 12 x 1 quart case, 1 gallon, a 4 x 1 gallon case, 5 gallon, 15 gallon, and 55 gallon sizes. This range lets a facility match the purchase to its cleaning throughput, from occasional labware cleaning up to high-volume or plant-scale use.
