Used to clean: Water testing labware cleaning, phosphate sensitive lab equipment cleaning,
hospital instruments, optical components, pharmaceutical apparatus, cosmetics manufacturing
equipment, tissue culture ware, plate glass, metal castings, forgings and stampings,
industrial parts, animal cages, electronic components, tanks and reactors. USDA food
contact surface cleaning compliant. FDA certified.
Used to remove: Soil, radioisotopes, radioactivity, organics, grit, grime, slime, grease, tars,
resins, fats, oils, blood, tissue, particulates, inorganic residues, chemicals and solvents.
Surfaces cleaned: Recommended for glass, stainless steel, PTFE, ceramic, cement and
alkali resistant plastics and metals. Tergajet is inhibited for Aluminum. Corrosion testing is
advisable.
Cleaning method: Laboratory warewashers, dishwashers, washer-sterilizers, washersanitizers,
cart washers, spray washers, electrocleaning, ultrasonic cleaners, clean-in-place
and manual cleaning if proper skin and eye protection is used.
Directions: Follow machine manufacturer’s directions and use the 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 a paste. For difficult soils, raise water
temperature and use more detergent. Wear protective gloves and eyewear when handling.
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 is advisable.

Tergajet is a highly alkaline detergent containing sodium carbonate, silicate of soda, and
surfactants. Tergajet is biodegradable and water soluble. The phosphate content is 8.7%
expressed as phosphorus. Tergajet is non-ionic.
Cleaning Validation Methods:
Test a parameter of rinse water before and after rinsing the cleaned surface. No significant
change in the parameter indicates no detectable residue. Parameters measured include: pH,
conductivity, resistance, spectrographic methods, total organic carbon, and surface analysis.
