Nipac B - 30kg

Nipac B - 30kg

Hazardous Item
Nipac B can be used as an alternative to caustic-based detergents in Breweries to clean Bright Beer Tanks and Tankers in a CO₂ atmosphere.

DESCRIPTION
Nipac B contains a blend of Nitric and Phosphoric Acid. It is designed primarily for applications in Breweries. Nipac B is also suitable for use in other high-care industries and is very effective in removing mineral scale, protein build and vegetable/salad staining in food preparation applications.

Nipac B is formulated to be low-foaming and suitable for recirculation applications. It can be used as an alternative to caustic-based detergents in Breweries to clean Bright Beer Tanks and Tankers in CO₂ atmosphere.

Nipac B is excellent for removing minerals and proteins and aids in removing beer and milk stains. It is safe for use on stainless steel and suitable for CIP applications.

Nipac B's in-use concentrations are application-dependent and should be established during trials. Cleaning temperatures should also be optimised during trials. However, it is not advisable to use Nitric acid-based products such as Nipac B above 50°C. When in contact with Copper or its alloys (Brass, etc), Nitric acid-based products will produce Toxic Gas.

USE INSTRUCTIONS

• Nipac B's concentration in use is application-dependent and should be established during trials. Cleaning temperatures should be optimised during trials. However, it is not advisable to use Nitric acid-based products such as Nipac B above 50°C.
• In contact with Copper or its alloys (Brass, etc), Nitric acid-based products will produce Toxic Gas. It is essential to confirm that the equipment to be cleaned does not contain these or related materials.
• It is recommended that pipe/flange seals made from PTFE be used for equipment in regular contact with Nipac B. For equipment in occasional contact with Nipac B, EDPM seals are suitable.
• Nipac B is not suitable for direct food contact.
  
  

CIP.
For clean-in-place applications of Stainless Steel, glass, and synthetic resin-lined vessels or pipelines, Nipac B is typically circulated at 1% to 4% v/v. It is advisable to check compatibility before using Nipac B with synthetic resins. Nipac B can be used in a CO2 atmosphere without degradation. 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 rinses is approximately equal to that of the water.

For vessels that are very heavily scaled with mineral salts, a point may be reached where significant scale still exists, but all the useful acidity has been consumed. In these instances, it is advisable to optimise descaling procedures by starting at around 4% v/v concentration and titrating acid strength during the clean. If concentration falls to below 1% acid, additional Nipac B should be added to increase concentration back to 4% v/v. By noting the total volume of acid used, subsequent cleans can be optimised to use a single dose of this volume of acid.

BENEFITS

• Excellent mineral and protein removal.
• Aids removal of beer and milk stains.
• Safe for use on Stainless Steel.
• Can be used under CO2 atmospheres.

PRODUCT COMPATIBILITY

• CAUTION: Contact with chlorinated products will release Toxic Chlorine Gas.
  
• CAUTION: Contact with Copper and its alloys will release Toxic Gas.
• Nipac B is corrosive to soft metals such as aluminium, zinc, tin, copper, and their alloys. Contact with certain plastics may result in stress corrosion cracking.
