Application Procedure:
CitriSurf 77 is an excellent cleaner by itself for many cleaning and passivation processes. However, to assure best results, it may be a good idea to clean the parts or areas to be passivated, with an appropriate cleaning solution prior to treatment with CitriSurf 77 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. Citric Acid and white vinegar are alternatives that can also remove rust. 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 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.
