CitriSurf is an excellent cleaner by itself for many cleaning and passivation processes. However, to assure best results the parts or areas to be passivated may be cleaned with an appropriate cleaning solution prior to treatment with CitriSurf solution, especially when heavy grease and oils are present. If there is rust on the surface that must be removed, you may want to use CitriSurf 77 Plus which has additional additives to aid in rust removal.
The parts or areas to be cleaned and passivated should be sprayed, immersed or wiped with CitriSurf 77 to completely wet the surfaces, especially in crevices or in areas where any rust or corrosion may have occurred. The surface must be soaked or left moist with the CitriSurf 77 solution for a period of 15-30 minutes at room temperature. After soaking, rinse the surface with clean water. The surface can then be wiped dry with a clean cloth or appropriate absorbent medium. Allow the surface to air dry prior to use. CitriSurf 77 will not harm stainless steel appliances or surfaces, and will enhance the brightness when used as directed.
Although very safe in normal use, CitriSurf 77 is a citric acid based material, and as such it may cause irritation to exposed
surfaces of the body. See Material Safety Data Sheet before using this material. Rubber or plastic gloves should be worn
to apply the product to the surface or to wipe it dry.
Do not apply CitriSurf 77 to electrical wiring or other conductive material that is connected to electrical current without
first turning off all electricity! CitriSurf is a water based conductive material. Serious injury or death con occur from electrical shock.
Do not leave concrete or carbon steel exposed to CitriSurf for any period of time. Damage to these materials will occur
with prolonged exposure.
Dispose of according to all federal, state and local regulations.
CitriSurf 77 should be stored at temperatures between 50°F and 120°F in the bottles supplied with the product. (If accidentally frozen, thawing will return product to normal.)
