Italtext Premium (heavy duty) Extra Pure
SHORT DESCRIPTION
Italtext Premium (Heavy Duty) Extra Pure is a specialized industrial-grade formulation designed for high-performance cleaning, degreasing, or maintenance applications in laboratories, workshops, and technical environments. Known for its powerful action and superior purity, it effectively breaks down heavy soils, stubborn residues, and oily contaminants without compromising sensitive surfaces. This heavy-duty product is ideal for use in precision equipment care, lab bench sanitation, and pre-treatment of surfaces requiring strict cleanliness. Its “Extra Pure” classification guarantees consistent results with minimal interference in analytical or sensitive processes, making it a reliable choice for demanding professional settings.
USES
Primary Laboratory Uses:
- Heavy-Duty Laboratory Cleaning Agent:
Specifically formulated for removing stubborn residues such as grease, oils, biological matter, and chemical films from laboratory glassware, metal instruments, and surfaces. - Glassware and Apparatus Preparation:
Extensively used in labs for pre-cleaning glassware before sensitive analytical procedures, especially where trace contaminants could interfere with results (e.g., spectroscopy or chromatography). - Decontamination in Industrial and Scientific Settings:
Utilized to decontaminate surfaces and tools in research labs, especially in microbiology, biochemistry, and pharmaceutical labs.
Secondary Laboratory Uses:
- Post-Experiment Equipment Maintenance:
Employed after experiments to thoroughly clean equipment and maintain longevity of lab tools and machinery. - Pre-Sterilization Cleaning Step:
Acts as a first step before autoclaving or sterilization, ensuring surfaces are free of organic and inorganic debris. - Routine Lab Hygiene Protocols:
Used in maintaining cleanroom and laboratory hygiene standards, particularly in regulated environments such as GMP/GLP labs.
