Stainless steel used in nuclear power related applications must be cleaned with cleaners that contain no trace contaminants that can potentially harm the very long term integrity of the stainless steel. No trace agents that could potentially cause hydrogen embrittlement or stress cracking can be tolerated.
Q. Does Alconox provide information on cleaner residue detection by UV/Vis? A. Yes. In The Aqueous Cleaning Handbook . . .
Q. What products prepare instruments for sterilization?
A. Use a proper cleaner prior to sterilization. Alconox and Liquinox instrument cleaners are effective and economical manual, ultrasonic or soak cleaners.
Q. We use Citranox for cleaning glass coated with tin oxide. We use the cleaned glass to deposit thin film CdS/CdTe photovoltaic devices. We use your citranox detergent and use a stainless steel ultrasonic cleaner. Is there a concern that the citranox could corrode stainless and deposit metallic ions on the glass surface? Which can be detrimental to the semiconductor films of the photovoltaic devices? Should we use a PTFE ultrasonic cleaner?
Q. I was curious if Solujet and Liquinox are interchangeable? We are a medical device company that currently uses Liquinox to wash glassware by hand, but recently got a Miele glassware washer and want to use an Alconox product in it.
A. Solujet will give comparable cleaning performance in a Miele washer to manual cleaning with Liquinox.
