Maxifoam Acid - 25kg

Maxifoam Acid - 25kg

Maxifoam Acid is a blend of mineral and organic acids, sequestering, dispersing, and wetting agents specially designed for use in Food Processing, Beverage, and other high-care environments. It is designed to provide a high-retention foam with long contact times with the soil. Maxifoam Acid is very effective in removing mineral scale and protein buildup, as well as fruit and vegetable staining.
Maxifoam Acid is designed primarily for use in Breweries, Beverage, Dairy, and Food Processing plants. It is also suitable for use in other high-care industries.

USE INSTRUCTIONS

Maxifoam acid is ideally applied as foam by either high-pressure or air-induced systems.

Concentrations of Maxifoam Acid in use are application-dependent and should be established during trials. However, typical concentrations will be between 3% and 10% v/v.

Cleaning temperatures should be optimised during trials.

Maxifoam Acid 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.

Foam Cleaning. Before applying foam detergents, removing gross debris and pre-rinse surfaces with water is advisable. Maxifoam Acid is applied at 3% to 5% v/v in typical applications. Maxifoam Acid can be used at up to 10% v/v for very heavy soiling. However, if Maxifoam Acid is used at low concentrations, foam quality will be poor, leading to short contact times. Once applied, Maxifoam Acid should be left on surfaces for approximately 20 minutes before being rinsed away with water. Light agitation of the foam with a green pad will improve the removal of very heavy scale build up. As scale dissolves, the acid content of Maxifoam Acid will reduce until it is no longer effective. At this point, for very heavy soiling, it may be necessary to apply a second coating of the foam.

CAUTION: When using/rinsing Maxifoam Acid, no chlorinated products must be present in the area, drain, or flush to a standard drain. Contact with chlorinated products will release Toxic Chlorine Gas.

Hand Application. In conjunction with soak baths or utensil sinks, Maxifoam Acid can be used for the hand padding of small items. In these applications, foam generation is less important. Also long soak times combined with the mechanical action of scrubbing means that lower concentrations of acid are required. Therefore, use concentrations are lower than for foam cleaning and typically range from 0.5% to 2% v/v. Hot water will aid soil removal, but it is not advisable to exceed 45°C (gloves must be worn). Protein deposits will tend to peel away as a film during cleaning, whilst mineral deposits will dissolve slowly. Mineral scales may need repeated applications for complete removal, as the dissolution of scale uses up the acid.

BENEFITS

• Good soil removal and suspension.
• A blend of acids.
• Clinging, high retention foam.
