PBW is a buffered alkaline detergent that has been proven to be more than an effective substitute for caustic soda cleaners. Because of its unique formulation of buffers and mild alkalis, it is safe on skin as well as soft metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and on plastics. P.B.W. uses active oxygen to penetrate carbon or protein soils and is not effected by hard water. The oxygen also helps in reducing B.O.D. and C.O.D. in wastewater, which is an added environmental benefit.
PBW has been formulated as a C.I.P. cleaner and is very effective in removing protein soils found on brew kettles, fermenters, conditioning tanks, filters and all packaging areas. The concentrations to remove these soils are typically in the 1% range. However, due to soil and water conditions this concentration will vary. To help in hard water areas P.B.W. has been formulated with enough chelators to tolerate hard water over 17 grains.
GENERAL USE DIRECTIONS
CIRCULATION CLEANING : Use 7 to 22g per liter depending on soil load. Heat to 55° to 80° C for 30 minutes.
CARBON REMOVAL : Use 44 to 59g per liter of water. Heat to 60 ° C for 4 hours or allow to soak cold overnight.
When using P.B.W. in food processing areas the equipment that has been cleaned must be rinsed with potable water. Just prior to use, sanitize the equipment in accordance with public health standards.
SAFETY
DANGER : Can be harmful if swallowed. Can cause eye irritation. Contains sodium metasilicate and sodium carbonate.
