Special Acid R is an aggressive acidic detergent useful in the removal of built-up calcium, protein, hard-water and other similar deposits. Phosphoric and nitric acid combination powers through tough soils and high levels of nitric acid helps passivate stainless steel.
This product is commonly used as an acidic detergent for food processors to maintain equipment and utensils. Special Acid R is formulated using a time-tested acid formulation that begins dissolving calcium, sodium and protein on contact. Methods of use include soak, scrub and spray washing. Special Acid R is effective in cold water.
Dilute Special Acid R in a separate container in accordance with Dilution Guidelines chart. A small amount of Detergent Concentrate can be added if foaming properties are desired. Rinse surface to be cleaned to remove any loose soils. Apply Special Acid R to a small area to test for compatibility and desired results before widespread use. Special Acid R solution can be applied with foamer, sprayer, sponge, or brush. For best results start at the bottom of the surface and work up to the top. Allow solution to penetrate and dissolve built-up soils. More than one application may be required and some scrubbing may be necessary to remove exceptionally heavy soils. Rinse surface from top to bottom with fresh water. Residual acidity can be neutralized with a mild alkaline, like Soda Ash.
