To assure that you are using effective detergent, you want to know that the detergent has not expired. Alconox, Inc. detergents have a shelf life of two years from the date of manufacture. You need to know the date of manufacture to determine the expiration date.
Q. I’m looking for a cleaning solution to use in our industrial ultrasonic cleaner that is similar to the old style competitor detergent. We use it occasionally for general cleaning, removal of machining oils, cleaning for high vacuum use, and to lightly etch the oxides off of copper. Would you recommend Alconox or Liquinox detergent? How long would a pre-mix of the formulations last before degrading? Could we also use this for washing microfiber towels and foam sponges that have various waxes, polymer sealants and oils on them?
Use a Tergazyme solution within 8 hours of dissolving the powder in water. The enzyme in Tergazyme will digest itself.
