Removing Ester Oil lubricants and Brass Particulates
Q. I’m doing electronic cleaning and I’d like to test a detergent sample for a project that requires a non-residue flushant for an aluminum gearbox with brass gears. During the burn-in phase, the gear box accumulates brass particles. After burn-in, this sealed gearbox is drained of the ester oil lubricant and flushed with solvent to assist in removal of the brass residue. The unit is then filled with fresh lubricant and shipped to the customer. We wish to replace the solvent to be in advance compliance with California VOC rules.
New Fryer? Nope. Just Clean!
A Food service company in Missouri used Alconox for the first time to clean their kitchen’s deep fryer.
According to Janet, the shift manager, “The build up on our fryers was very bad as it had not been deep cleaned for about 2 years. We used Alconox and it was amazing. All the black buildup came off and the fryer looks new.”
Cleaning a fryer with Alconox is simple.
Cleaning Sludge from Lab Glassware
Q. I hope that you can help recommend a product that might help a customer of ours that’s having great difficulty getting cleaning lab glassware. It has remnants of sludge from a water treatment facility laboratory. They are manual cleaning, and willing to soak the glassware, but they are not sure Tergazyme will be strong enough. Have you run into this before? Do you know if Tergazyme will work?
Cleaning Blood on Quartz Cuvettes
Q. How can I clean blood off of quartz cuvettes for laboratory cleaning?
A. I recommend using a lukewarm (100 F or 40 deg C, definitely not exceeding 130 F or 55 deg C) 1% Tergazyme solution (10 g/L or 1.25 oz/gal) to soak your quartz cuvettes.

Replacing a <1 pH Acid Electronics Cleaner
Q. Our current detergent is very acidic (pH ~ 1) and very costly to dispose of. We wish to use a cleaning solution that is non-hazardous and can be disposed of down our sink drains into the sewer system. Are solutions of Alconox cleaners (i.e. 1-2% of Citrajet or Detergent 8) safe for dumping down the drain?
