Octave™ is a patent pending, peroxyoctanoic acid EPA-registered antimicrobial agent for use in a number of sanitizing applications in the dairy, beverage and food processing industries.
BENEFITS
Promotes Quality Assurance
- Enhances finished product quality when used in a total Ecolab product and professional services program, with kill against pathogenic organisms. For a list of organisms, see directions for use on product label.
- Effective against environmental microorganisms that can adversely affect shelf-life. For a list of organisms, see directions for use on product label.
- Helps protect processing equipment investment – use solutions noncorrosive to 304 and 316 stainless steel surfaces when used at recommended concentrations.
- Leaves stainless steel surfaces bright and shiny – low pH use solution aids in mineral, hard-water and milk soil removal.
- Compatible with most plastic and rubber materials used in processing operations.
- Formulated for rapid soil penetration and its ability to stand up to heavy organic loads.
Saves Time and Money
- Octave concentration can be monitored real-time using conductivity, decreasing dependence on manual titrations.
- Fast breaking foam lets you know that the sanitizer is present and doing its job in environmental sanitization applications.
- Convenient to use – provides acidified rinse and sanitizer in one step – no post-rinse required.
- Useful for CIP, spray, or soak sanitizing applications.
Environmental Implications
- Active ingredients rapidly break down after use into water, oxygen, and octanoic acid.
- Contains no halogens.
- Reduced total volatiles and oxidizer in the air compared to mixed peracid sanitizers.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
SANITIZATION
Octave acid sanitizer is recommended for use on pre-cleaned, hard, non-porous surfaces only such as equipment, pipelines, tanks, vats, fillers, evaporators, pasteurizers and aseptic equipment in dairies, dairy farms, breweries, wineries, beverage and food processing plants. This product is effective as a sanitizer when solution is prepared in water of up to 500 pm hardness as CaCO₃.
NOTE: FOR MECHANICAL OPERATIONS prepared use solution may not be reused for sanitizing but may be reused for other purposes such as cleaning.
FOR MANUAL OPERATIONS fresh sanitizing solutions must be prepared at least daily or more often if the solution becomes diluted or soiled.
SANITIZING FOOD CONTACT SURFACES
Prior to sanitizing, remove gross food particles, and then wash with a detergent solution, followed by a potable water rinse. Sanitize with a concentration of 1.0 ounce Octave concentrate per 4.50 – 6.00 gallons of water (0.130-0.174% v/v or 1300 pm – 1740 ppm product). At this dilution Octave is effective as a food contact surface sanitizer against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, as well as food pathogens Escherichia coli 0157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, Campylobacter jejuni, Candida albicans, Enterobacter sakazaki, and Vibrio cholerae. At the same dilution Octave is effective at reducing common spoilage microorganisms Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pediococcus damnosus, and Lactobacillus malefermentans. Use immersion, coarse spray or circulation techniques as appropriate to the equipment. All surfaces must be exposed to the sanitizing solution for a period of not less than 1 minute unless a longer time is specified by the governing sanitary code. Drain thoroughly and allow to air dry. Do not rinse. Surface is not required to be completely dry prior to use.
OCTAVE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AS A HARD SURFACE CLEANER
For hard surface cleaning applications, use Octave at a concentration of 1.0-2.7 ounces per gallon of detergent use solution (0.8-2.1% v/v or 8000 pm – 21,000 pm product) in water in conjunction with an alkaline pH modifier, such as KOH or NaOH to adjust cleaning solution to a pH ›8.8. All hard food contact surfaces treated with this cleaning system must be rinsed thoroughly with potable water followed by sanitizing with an approved food contact surface sanitizer.
For hard surface acid cleaning applications, remove gross food particles with a water rinse, then wash using Octave at a rate of 1.0 ounces Octave concentrate per 4.5-6.0 gallons of water (0.130-0.174% /v or 1300 pm – 1740 pm product). All hard food contact surfaces treated with this cleaning system must be drained thoroughly, no rinse required.
NOTE: This product in its use solutions is compatible with stainless steel and aluminum surfaces. If product is intended to be used on any other surface, it is recommended that you apply product to a smaller test area to determine compatibility before proceeding with its use.
This product is effective under the intended conditions of use as outlined on the product label or specified in a sanitation standard operating procedure (SSOP).
