Chlorsan - 30kg

Chlorsan - 30kg

Chlorsan contains Caustic Soda (NaOH), Sodium Hypochlorite and a blend of sequestering agents to inhibit scale formation and improve detergency. Chlorsan is formulated to be low foaming, enabling it to be used in recirculation applications. It is designed primarily for applications in breweries, beverage, dairy, and food processing plants. Chlorsan is also suitable for use in other high-care industries. The combination of high alkalinity and chlorination gives excellent removal and suspension of fats, oils, protein, flavouring, vegetable and fruit staining; it is also beneficial in brightening Stainless Steel.

BENEFITS

• Excellent removal of protein, flavouring, tannin and vegetable deposits.
• Good soil removal and suspension.
• Suitable for use in hard water areas.
• Source of available Chlorine.
  

USE INSTRUCTIONS

• In-use concentrations of Chlorsan are application-dependent and should be established during trials.
• A 1% v/v solution of Chlorsan delivers approximately 0.15% w/v causticity (0.15% w/v NaOH) and circa 350 ppm available Chlorine.
• Cleaning temperatures should be optimised during trials. However, it is not advisable to use chlorinated products above 50°C.
• Chlorsan is not suitable for direct food contact.
  

The following are typical example applications. Users should refer to Cleaning Instruction Cards for specific guidance. Other applications should be discussed with your Holchem Consultant.

• CIP. Chlorsan is typically circulated for 20 – 30 minutes for Clean in Place applications at 0.25% to 5% v/v. The exact concentration is dependent on water hardness and soil type/level. Before circulating the detergent, pre-rinsing with water is advisable. After cleaning, the circulation loop should be flushed with clean water until the pH or conductivity of the rinsings is approximately equal to that of the water. To reduce corrosion opportunity, the temperature should be restricted to 50°C maximum.
  
• Tray and Rack Washing. Chlorsan should be dosed between 0.25% and 2% v/v. Actual concentration values depend on the nature and level of the soiling. Dosing should be controlled by a timed dosing regime established during trials. Chlorsan has excellent soil-handling properties; however, gross soiling should be removed from items before they are passed through the washer. Ventilation around the traywasher may be required. To reduce the opportunity for corrosion, the temperature should be restricted to a maximum of 50°C.
  
• Cooking Vessel Boil-out. Chlorsan is suitable for cooking vessel boil-out to remove protein stains or carbonised and burnt product residues. To reduce corrosion opportunity, the temperature should be restricted to 50°C maximum. Chlorsan should be dosed at 0.5% to 5% v/v. Typical contact time (boil-out time) should be approximately 20 – 30 minutes. Where the soil has become heavily mineralised (typically after repeated cooking of high dairy content products), following a Chlorsan clean with acid clean may be necessary occasionally. Nipac, Holphos or Scalit are convenient products, but they should not be mixed with Chlorsan, and precautions should be taken to prevent these chemicals from mixing in the drains.
• Soak Applications. Chlorsan is suitable for soak baths used for Stainless Steel items at strengths between 0.5% and 1% v/v (175 – 350 ppm available Chlorine). The contact time should be 30 minutes, followed by rinsing with fresh water. To reduce the opportunity for corrosion, the temperature should be restricted to 50°C maximum.
  
• Floor Cleaning. Chlorsan can be used as a detergent in floor scrubbing machines at 0.25% to 2% v/v solution. However, checking that the machine is not constructed from soft metals is essential.

PRODUCT COMPATIBILITY

CAUTION: Contact with acid liberates Toxic Chlorine Gas. However, in normal use, it is acceptable to follow this product with a disinfection stage using Peracetic Acid, provided all chlorinated detergent has been rinsed to drain. Also, ensure that Peracetic Acid is not being used in another area that uses a common drain run. It is advisable not to allow kegs of Chlorsan and Peracetic Acid to be present at the same time during cleaning.
Chlorsan is effective on a wide range of soil types and is safe for use on most construction materials. Care should be taken for soak applications on aluminium, copper, zinc, and tin or alloys. Evaluating individual materials before prolonged use is always advisable, provided they are well-rinsed after the cleaning stage. Pitting corrosion may occur on stainless steel if the product is used regularly at high concentrations.

BIODEGRADABILITY

This product consists mainly of inorganic components for which biodegradation assessment is not applicable. It meets the criteria laid down in the European Detergents Regulation No 648/2004 and is not expected to Bioaccumulate.
