FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
Q: Can Biox `02′ Liquid be used on all types of metals?
A: It is best to use Biox `02′ Liquid for its individual
cleaning purposes based on the metal type. For example, clean
stainless items in one batch and then switch to fresh product for
other metallic objects like brass or copper to prevent reactions
between different metals.

General Description
Biox 02 Liquid is a biological oxide. tarnish. verdigris remover used for oxygen cleaning and is the result of ten years research in the field of Biochemistry to produce a safe, non-toxic. non flammable cleaning fluid.
Biox 02 Liquid is soluble in water in all proportions :

should be used in a plastic. fibre glass or stainless steel container.
must not be used below 4 C. The process of cleaning is accelerated when the component being cleaned is warmed in the fluid.
can be reused many times until its working life eventually becomes exhausted, this is best judged by observation.
has an evaporation rate approximately the same as water.
does not contain strong solvents therefore layers of grease or wax on the surface should be removed to avoid retarding the process.
may react strongly with Sodium Nitrite. It is however. possible to use Sodium Nitrite in small quantities in rinsing water.
It is important to note, that its best to use Biox 02 for its individual cleaning
purposes ie. Cleaning Stainless items in a bath of product, then switch to fresh
product for other metallic objects such as brass or copper etc. As often particles
removed from an Anode metal are held in suspension and can bind to a Base
metal through an electrolytic action. This reaction can be prevented by either
filtering or isolating the product to its specific task.

Packaging Handling First Aid and Storage
Biox 02 Liquid is supplied in 5 and 25 litre plastic containers.
Biox 02 Liquid should be stored securely in dry area. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Biox 02 Liquid should not be stored below 0 C.
Recommended storage limit in opened containers is 1 year.
Long term exposure dries the skin and can cause minor skin reactions either as a result of long term exposure or in the case of persons susceptible to allergic or skin sensitivity reactions.
Spillage’s and leakage’s should be rinsed away using copious amounts of clean water to avoid slipping.
Biox 02 Liquid can corrode cement and iron following long periods of exposure.
Biox 02 Liquid can be neutralised by adding Sodium Bicarbonate ( Baking Soda). 6% raises pH to 5.5, 9% raises pH to 7.0 and can be disposed of by flushing down sewer with water.
Applications
(A) Soaking.
Light contamination or tarnish may be removed in minutes, heavily soiled brass, chrome plate, stainless steel and miscellaneous rubber components can be immersed for a period of time and should be subject to regular inspections to check removal progress.
Stripped down components, valves, regulators and associated pipe work may be immersed for a period of time to remove corrosion and verdigris. Again observation of the contamination removal should be observed to find the optimal time for oxygen cleanliness.
Upon completion of cleaning process and prior to re-assembly ensure that all components are thoroughly rinsed in fresh potable ( drinking ) water
B) Ultrasonic Cleaning
The combination of Biox 02 Liquid and ultrasonic energy provide today’s most effective, safe, fast removal of corrosion, tarnish, verdigris and contaminants.
THE PREFERRED METHOD is to preheat the Biox 02 Liquid to approximately 50 C. in the ultra-
sonic cleaning tank, then immerse items to be cleaned in the heated Biox 02 Liquid for approxi-
mately five minutes, thereafter make frequent inspections to check the completion of the cleaning
cycle. Biox 02 Liquid should then be drained from the tank and replaced with potable water and the
components ultrasonically rinsed for approximately five minutes. Blow dry components with inert
air or oven dry if appropriate.

Inspection
Following the cleaning process of oxygen and or mixed gas components the items are to be inspected using an ultraviolet lamp, which should be warmed up for at least ten minutes, following which, the components must be inspected for hydrocarbon deposits.
NOTE Hydrocarbon deposits will show up under the ultraviolet light as a bright blue patch. Should this occur, carry out another cleaning cycle, if still not clean replace Biox 02 Liquid solution and repeat cleaning procedure.
All components that are not immediately assembled are to be packed as stated in the following respective paragraphs.
Handling, Preservation and Packaging
Procedures for handling, preservation and packing of cleaned components are as follows:
Handling
Cautions
1. Operators must ensure that gloves are worn before and during the following operations.
2. Packaging material damaged during packing must not be used.
3. Packing material must be free from contamination.
4. Care is to be taken when handling packed and sealed components to maintain the integrity of the sealing and packaging.
5. Gloves must be worn when removing oxygen clean items from their packaging for use.
6. Any item in an open or damaged package is NOT to be used for oxygen service. Such items are to be considered contaminated and must NOT be used until they have been oxygen cleaned.
Preservation
No preserving medium is to be used on oxygen clean items.

Packaging
Items must be packaged and sealed observing the following points.
(1) Items cleaned for oxygen use are to have their apertures carefully sealed. Any internal fitted plastic bungs, tape or methods of sealing apertures that may lead to material becoming lodged inside the apertures must NOT be used.
(2) Oxygen clean items must be sealed in two polyethylene self-sealing bags with an Oxygen Warning Label placed between the layers.
Storage
Packages containing cleaned items are to be visually inspected immediately prior to use
If the package or package sealing of a cleaned item is found to be damaged, defective or inadequate and any doubt is raised regarding the integrity of the sealing arrangements, then the item is NOT to be used.
The aforementioned has been carefully prepared and recommended procedures are made in good faith but without guarantee since the conditions of applications are not within our control.
