Kit Quickly Restores Stainless Steel Surfaces for Food Industry Equipment

Madison Chemical introduces the ReStore Kit, a combination of several of its cleaning and surface preparation products that are ideally suited for many food industry cleaning, surface preparation, and passivation applications.  

The multi-product kit comes in one box that contains one gallon of AquaBlue general purpose multi-metal surface cleaner, one gallon of TreadBrite foam acidic cleaner for multi-metals including stainless steel, one gallon of CR-120N nitric acid cleaner for passivation of stainless steel, a two-pound container of Jel Terge powdered viscosity enhancer/gel builder, and detailed instructions.  

This comprehensive kit allows users to clean, etch, remove surface oxides, and prepare a wide variety of metal surfaces. When used with the Compound CR-120N this can help to start to passivate some 300 series stainless steels where desired. Ideal uses include food processing and preparation surfaces, especially where L series stainless is used and post-weld clean-up is required, or in areas where ammonia fumes, alcohol, nitric acids, and oils mix together to damage equipment surfaces, storage and processing tanks, and more. It is ideal for field repair work, especially during or after equipment installation and commissioning, and makes an excellent add-on kit for OEM equipment because it can speed “sign off” on installs.  

AquaBlue multi-metal surface cleaner is an alkaline detergent that is ideally suited for removal of dirt, oil, grease, and more from a wide variety of surfaces. It can be used as a spray, in foaming or gelling applications, as a soak, in ultrasonic tanks, and with pressure washers.  

TreadBrite foam is an acidic cleaner that can be used on many metal substrates but was developed for cleaning and removing heat tint/weld burns from stainless steel surfaces. It can be used as a spray, soak, in foaming and gelling applications, or in ultrasonic cleaners. It is especially effective on “rouge” and other high-heat problems found within the food processing industry.

CR-120N is a nitric acid cleaner that is suited for passivating stainless steel surfaces. It can be used as a spray, soak, or combined with the powdered Jel Terge that is in the case box to form a “clingy” gel solution. This gel solution is effective on soils and deposits in high-heat areas that are problematic for many cleaning agents. In gel form, two gallons of CR-120N make-down solution will clean and help start to passivate 200 sq ft of a stainless steel’s surface area. By using a gel solution option, a production group can eliminate the need for a large soak tank and still have an extended and safe dwell contact time of a solution on a parts surface.
