Abstract
The invention includes a method for cleaning and passivating a stainless steel surface comprising: 1) contacting the surface with 15-45 ml/liter of a composition consisting essentially of between about 15 and 50% alkaline component, between about 1 to 15% chelant, and between about 35 to 84% water; 2) maintaining contact to dislodge and remove residue from the surface; 3) continuing contact to complex free iron ions liberated from the surface with the chelant to form an oxide film on the surface; and 4) continuing contact to precipitate the complexed ions into the oxide film. The compositions may further include a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, cationic, nonionic and zwitterionic surfactants to enhance cleaning performance.
