Genaminox LA

Applications
Hypochlorite cleaners
For production of hypochlorite cleaners with good
stability and viscosity building.
Concentration approx. 3 – 10% in combination with
Medialan LD.
Dish-washing machine rinsing agents
To improve the dermatological properties and also the
cleaning and degreasing properties.
Storage
Genaminox LA can be stored for at least to 2 years in
original sealed containers at room temperature under
the recommended conditions.
Protect from exposure to cold during transport and
storage. The properties of Genaminox LA are reversi-
bly altered by exposure to cold. If Genaminox LA
becomes turbid, thickens or freezes through exposure
to cold, thaw slowly at room temperature and after-
wards stir briefly.
