Applications in the Food Industry

Detar Acid is designed for use in the food industry and is particularly recommended for eliminating the milkstone that tends to form during the primary milk processing stage in pasteurizers, concentrators and evaporators. In the conservation sector, Detar Acid can be used to clean storage tanks, pipes, pasteurizers and cooling circuits.

How to Use

• Dilute Detar Acid in normal tap water in concentrations varying between 0.5%-10%.
• Typical concentration 2-5%.
• Use minimum doses on ductile metals.
• Once the descaling operation is complete, rinse with an alkaline solution and then douse thoroughly with water.

Technical Details & Test Data

Optimized Complex Formula

Detar Acid’s formula has been optimized through the use of surfactants and corrosion-inhibiting substances.

The surfactants improve the wetting ability of the acid solution, thus leading to a quicker and more complete break-up of residues. The inhibitors help avoid the onset of corrosion in the various different materials found in the food sector, such as steel, copper, iron, brass and aluminum. Although it contains surfactants, Detar Acid produces only a limited quantity of foam and can therefore be used for circulation cleaning. When organic matter is also present, we recommend first performing a cleaning cycle with an alkaline product before proceeding with the acid treatment.
