ARMOHIB 28, an Acid Inhibitor that Targets the Inhibition for a Combination of Acids

ARMOHIB 28 serves as an Acid Inhibitor manufactured by Thai Chemical and Engineering Co. Ltd. It is comprised of organic substances that help in detaining the chemical action of acids on metal surfaces in the course of pickling and process equipment cleaning. ARMOHIB 28 is used in conjunction with hydrochloric acid and hydrochloric-hydrofluoric acid mixtures.

ARMOHIB 28 is essentially made up of complex amines. It appears as a brown coloured liquid having a typical amine like odour. It exhibits a pH of 6.5 – 7.5 and a specific gravity of about 1.00 – 1.02. It is completely soluble in water.

Several industries associate the active participation of different kinds of metals directly or indirectly. Due to extensive usage, these metals or metal parts has the tendency to form rust or undergoes scaling. Acidic treatment is considered critical in rendering protection to these metals against scaling and rusting. This acid treatment can be proceeded with in varied ways to help in the removal of scale and rust but in exchange brings about the abrasion of metals on account of their corrosive properties. This process not only alters the metal properties but also tend to induce the loss of base metals after acid pickling. Therefore, this leads to the necessity of acid inhibitors to aid in restricting the acid attack on base metal, thereby aiding in abating the economic loss for the industry.

Acid Corrosion Inhibitors are particularly of acid specific nature that is each inhibitor has been formulated for inhibiting a particular acid or a combination of acids. Thai Chemical and Engineering has designed ARMOHIB 28, an acid inhibitor, that targets the inhibition for a combination of acids involving hydrochloric acid and Hydrofluoric Acid which provides it with an advantage to be used in situations where any kind of concentration of these acids are used for carrying out the pickling process of metals.

ARMOHIB 28 accounts for low-cost dependable protection over a wide range of temperatures. Acid attack on metals can be impeded by adding a small amount of the product with the acid. ARMOHIB 28 may be added to either concentrated or diluted acid solutions. They should not be diluted first with water.

Oxonia Active serves as an efficient, superior performance disinfectant

Oxonia Active is a fact acting acidic liquid sanitizer manufactured by Ecolab. It has been designed with a stabilized amalgamation of Hydrogen peroxide and Peracetic acid. Oxonia Active serves as an efficient, superior performance disinfectant that has been formulated for the purpose of disinfecting the surfaces that comes in contact with consumables involved in the food and beverage industries during their operation. The contact time for this compound relies upon other factors as well such as concentration, temperature, and types of microbial families that have been targeted.

Oxonia Active is more efficient in its activity at an acidic to neutral pH. It is safe to be used with metals such as stainless steel, aluminum and tinned steel. It is a non-foaming formulation that aids in reducing CIP cycle time and improves CIP efficiency. And as it is a low phosphorus formulation it alleviates phosphate-related effluent fees. It displays compatibility with most of the plastic materials, rubber, generally used in the processing operations. Oxonia Active solutions can be stored and reused if they are within the recommended concentration range. To assure that the solutions remain active while reusing it, addition of the concentrate will be necessary.

Oxonia Active reveals as a peroxyacetic acid formulation exhibiting antimicrobial properties designed to be used in a number of sanitizing applications in the dairy, beverage and food processing industries as well as for sterilization of aseptic processing and packaging equipment. It consists of hydrogen peroxide of CAS No. 7722-84-1 at 27.5 % by weight, acetic acid with CAS No. 64-19-7 at 8% by weight and peroxyacetic acid with CAS No. 79-21-0 at 5.8 % by weight. It appears to be a clear, colorless liquid having a pungent odor. It has a pH of 2.5 and exhibits specific gravity of about 1.120. It is recommended to be used on pre-cleaned surfaces such as pipelines, tanks, equipments, fillers, evaporators, and aseptic equipments in breweries, beverage, dairies, wineries, and other food processing plants.
