Many chemicals are frequently used in the processing of red meats. Some chemicals will not damage metal equipment or most painted surfaces when used as directed, while others may require stainless steel materials for safe use.

T&B offers a full line of time-tested, rugged and highly engineered electrical components specifically designed to be used with cleaning chemicals in washdown applications in the food and beverage industry. These products include liquidtight fittings in a variety of materials, lighting fixtures with specific coatings for chemical resistance, and pin and sleeve plugs and receptacles for maximum performance in the harshest chemical environments. All T&B products are designed and engineered with features that can help you improve your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Phosphoric Acid is used to remove milk stone from dairy processing pipes and equipment and removes mineral deposits. This USDAapproved chemical requires stainless steel materials for optimum performance.

Chemicals

Purpose of Cleaner

Acid Cleaners - High Foaming

Phosphoric Acid

High-foaming, non-fuming acid cleaner for scale removal and brightening of aluminum, galvanized metal, and stainless steel equipment. Will not damage metal equipment or most painted surfaces when used as directed. Contains no harsh hydrochloric, sulfuric components.

Acid Peroxygem Sanitizers

Hydrogen Peroxide, Acetic Acid (ethanoic acid, vinegar acid), Peroxyacetic Acid (and acetyl hydroperoxide)

A concentrated, no rinse, non-foaming acidic peroxygen sanitizer. Contains no chlorine. Safer for the environment while being less harmful to equipment. Quickly kills a broad spectrum of microorganisms. Effective over a wide range of pH. USDA applicable.

Chlorine Sanitizers

Sodium Dichloro-s-Triazinetrione, Dihydrate, Sodium Dichlorocyanurate Dihydrate, Monosodium Phosphate, Anhydrous Sodium Sulfate, Sulfuric Acid Disodium Salt

For use in preparing no-rinse sanitizer solutions in food processing plants. Readily soluble in cold water. Leaves no film on surfaces. Can also be used to sanitize hatching eggs in the poultry industry. USDA applicable, EPA registered.

Denaturants

Nonylphenoxy Poly (ethylenoxy) ethanol

This product is formulated to denature condemned carcasses and meat or meat products in red meat processing plants. Thus denatured, the meat can be disposed of as tankage. This product will impart a green color as well as a strong citronella odor to meat.

Food and Dairy Products - Heavy Duty Low Foam Cleaner

Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Carbonate

Used for C.I.P. cleaning operations. Contains strong alkalis to remove soil that is encountered in processing lines. Hard water tolerant and freerinsing. Safe for use in all food processing facilities. USDA applicable.

Dairy - Milk Stone Remover

Phosphoric Acid

Used for removal of milk stone from dairy processing pipes and equipment. Removes mineral deposits. Harmless to stainless steel equipment. Low foaming for proper flow through pipes. For manual and circulation-type cleaning operations. USDA applicable.

Poultry Floor Cleaner

Sodium Metasilicate, Trisodium Orthophophate, Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Chloride, Nonylphenoxypoly Ethanol

Used for heavy duty cleaning in poultry plants. General cleaner. Removes blood, grease and waste deposits. Use manually or with mechanical floor scrubber. USDA applicable.

Floor Cleaner

Diethyleane Glycol Monomethylether, Sodium Dodecylbenzene Sulfonate, Sodium Silicate

Used to remove dirt, food, grease, fats and soap scum. Can be used on concrete, masonry, brick, stone, and ceramic tile. Has moderate foam to promote free rinsing with no residue. USDA applicable.
