Instructions

Food-Contact Surface Sanitizing Solution
Prior to sanitization, remove all gross food particles and soil by use of a pre-ush, pre-scrape or pre-soak treatment.
Prepare a 200 ppm activated use-solution of Star-Xene by using one of the two procedures described below:

1. Add 1 part Star-Xene to 9 parts water and then activate by adding food-grade citric, phosphoric, acetic or other equivalent food-grade acid (of at least 99% purity) to a pH of 2.6. Please contact your or authorized representative regarding equivalent acids. Agitate for 5 minutes and then allow to stand for 15 minutes. Then dilute 1 part of the activated solution with 24 parts of water. Alternatively to minimize worker handling, an automated system can also be utilized that will safely activate the concentrate of Star-Xene with any of the various acids listed to deliver the proper pH and safety dilute the material to the 200 ppm working solutions.

2. Add 1 gallon of Star-Xene to 50 gallons of water followed by 780 grams (1.71 lbs.) of Activator K. Allow to stand for 15 minutes after agitation for 5 minutes and then dilute 1 part with 4 parts of water.

3. An electronically activated use-solution can be prepared by adding Star-Xene directly to the e-generator. The activation use-solution prepared by the e-generator must contain between 50-100 ppm of an activated-use solution of Star-Xene. For proper operation of the e-generator, consult the e-generator system amnual or your Five Star Chemicals & Supply, Inc or authorized representative.

Mold and Mildew Use-Solution

Prepare a 1000 ppm use-solution of Star-Xene, by placing 1 part Star-Xene per 50 parts working solution (1,000 ppm available chlorine dioxide) into a clean, plastic pail or drum. Dilute with clean, potable water.

Application Instructions

1. Prior to sanitization, remove all gross food particles and soil by use of a pre-ush, pre-scrape or pre-soak treatment. Then clean all lines, tanks, or surfaces with a suitable detergent followed by a potable water rinse.

2. Prepare the Food-Contact Surface Sanitizing Solution as described above.

3. Fill, immerse, circulate, wipe or spray the target surface with the sanitizing solution making sure the surface area is thoroughly wet for at least one minute. Hard to reach in-place equipment, pipes, closed vessels, etc., must be lled with the sanitizing solution to ensure contact of all surfaces. Use suitable protective breathing apparatus when spraying the solution on external equipment.

4. Allow the sanitizing solution to drain from all treated surfaces and air dry. Do not rinse treated surface.

5. The above solution may not be reused for sanitizing but may be diluted to 1:5 with water and used for cleaning of walls, doors and drains of the plant.
