Reflex™ acid sanitizer is a no-rinse formulation for use in the dairy, food, and beverage processing industries for CIP and COP for effective cleaning and sanitization. It has a high oxidation potential and is very reactive, which results in excellent bactericidal against a wide range of microorganisms in cold or warm water. Reflex™ acid sanitizer prevents milkstone, beerstone, and mineralstone deposits, reduces cleaning time and water use, and effectively eliminates a wide range of microorganisms. This NSF-certified, phosphate-free formulation is cost-effective, requiring only one fluid ounce per six gallons of hard water.
Reflex™ acid sanitizer is a combination of peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and nitric acid. Typically, it is diluted 2 fl. oz. per 6 gallons of water. At 180 ppm (10 grain) hard water, the resulting pH of the sanitizer water will be 3.0 – 3.5.
Characteristics:
- No-rinse sanitizer
- Reduces CIP process times and reduces water and cycle times
- Passes the AOAC Sanitizer Test by reducing 99.999% of target microorganisms within 30 seconds
- Contains no phosphates
- Peroxygen chemistry leaves no residues
- Nitric acid becomes nitrate in wastewater
- For land-applied discharges, the nitric component reverts to available nitrogen to support plant growth
