Product Description
Alcojet: Low Foaming Powdered Detergent
Alcojet is a nonionic, low foaming cleaner for use in lab-ware washers, parts washers, power-spray systems, for manual and ultrasonic cleaning. It is a corrosion inhibited formula recommended for glassware, metals, plastic, ceramic, porcelain, rubber and fiberglass. Alcojet is free rinsing for reliable results with no interfering residues. USDA authorized. Dilute 1:200. pH 12
Most Alconox products require 2-5 day handling time. The exception to this is the 4 lbs boxes which we are now stocking. 4 lbs boxes can go out same or next day depending on how close the order is to cutoff.
Used to clean: Healthcare instruments, laboratory ware, sampling apparatus, plate glass,
animal cages, electronic components, pharmaceutical apparatus, cosmetics manufacturing
equipment, metal castings, forgings and stampings, industrial parts, tanks and reactors.
Authorized by USDA for use in federally inspected meat and poultry plants. Passes
inhibitory residue test for water analysis. FDA certified.
Used to remove: Soil, grit, grime, slime, grease, tars, resins, fats, oils, blood, tissue, inorganic
residues, particulates, chemicals and solvents.
Surfaces cleaned: Corrosion inhibited formulation recommended for glass, metal, stainless
steel, porcelain, ceramic, plastic, rubber and fiberglass. Can be used on soft metals such as
copper, aluminum, zinc and magnesium if rinsed promptly. Corrosion testing may be advisable.
Cleaning method: Laboratory warewashers, water-sterilizers, washer-sanitizers, cart washers,
cage washers, spray washers, electrocleaning, ultrasonic cleaners, flow through cleanin-
place. Manual cleaning if proper skin and eye protection is used.
Directions: Follow machine manufacturer’s directions and use machine’s powder detergent
receptacles. In general, use 1/2 - 1% hot water wash cycle solutions (1 1/4 - 2 1/2 Tbsp. per
gal., 3/4 - 1 1/4 oz. per gal. or 5-10 grams per liter—most machines need 2 1/2 oz. added at a
typical 2 gal. wash cycle). For manual, soak, circulate, or ultrasonic use, make a 1% solution
in warm or hot water. For abrasive scrubbing, make paste. For difficult soils, raise water
temperature and use more detergent. Wear protective gloves and eyewear for manual cleaning.
RINSE THOROUGHLY—preferably with running water. For critical cleaning, do final
or all rinsing in distilled, deionized, or purified water. For food contact surfaces, rinse with
potable water. Used on a wide range of glass, ceramic, plastic, and metal surfaces. Corrosion
testing may be advisable.

Chemical Description:
Alcojet is a blend of sodium silicate, a mixture of complex phosphate, concentrated organic
chlorine, sodium carbonate, and an alkylalkoxylate. Alcojet is biodegradable and water soluble.
The phosphate content is 8.7% expressed as phosphorus. Alcojet is non-ionic.
Cleaning Validation Methods:
Test a parameter of rinse water before and after rinsing the cleaned surface, or test the clean
surface. No significant change in the parameter indicates no detectable residue. Parameters
measured include: pH, conductivity, resistance, spectrographic methods, sodium concentration,
phosphorus concentration, surface tension, and surface analysis. For details, see the
Pharmaceutical Validation References at www.alconox.com.
