Cleaning Aluminum after Chromate Chemical Conversion
Q. Can Liquinox be used to clean aluminum that has undergone a chemical conversion process with chromate?
A. Assuming that coating is 100%, i.e. no exposed aluminum, then cleaning with a 1% liquinox solution is acceptable. However, if the coating is not 100% and there are exposed areas of aluminum then it is best to proceed with our acid cleaner, Citranox. Read More.
Pharmaceutical Cleaning: Metaxalene

Cleaning Machine Oil with Liquinox
Q. We are cleaning straight machine oil off parts, followed by a Ozonics 203 dip. We have a vapor degreaser but stopped using it due to odors & EPA exhaust concerns. I plan to use Liquinox in a strong concentration to remove the residual oil and Ozonics 203. I plan to use the degreaser as a heated ultrasonic cleaner. What concentration would you recommend? This would be followed by our final u.s. cleaning using 2% Liquinox & dual cascading D.I. water.

Pharmaceutical Residue Removal: Iron Sucrose
Q. Which Alconox brand cleaners are suitable for the removal of iron sucrose?
A. Iron Sucrose is water soluble therefore it can be cleaned by either Citranox or Liquinox. Find out more about Citranox and Liquinox by downloading technical bulletins or MSDS at www.alconox.com.
Cleaning Bioreactors
Q. How can I clean bioreactors and do you have any SOPs you can offer.
A. Liquinox is typically used for cleaning bioreactors. A 1% solution of Liquinox (1.25 oz/gal or 10 mL/L) is used to soak and scrub the bioreactor. Learn More.
