CIP 200®
ACID-BASED PROCESS & RESEARCH CLEANER
TECHNICAL DATA
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CIP 200 Acid-Based Process & Research Cleaner is a liquid, acidic detergent specially formulated to meet the unique
cleaning demands found in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and medical device industries. It effectively removes a wide
range of process residues, including inorganic salts. The special surfactant selected for CIP 200 cleaner is active across
the full pH range (from pH 2.0 to pH 13.5) and the full temperature range from cold to boiling. CIP 200 cleaner is free of
perfumes and dyes and is designed to be extremely free-rinsing.
Routine use provides maintenance removal of migratory iron (blush or rouge) from stainless-steel surfaces.
FEATURES BENEFITS
Compatible with both glass and stainless-steel Safe to use on most process equipment
substrates
Effective surfactant system Remains soluble and active across a wide temperature range
from 41-185°F (5-85°C)
Surfactant system retains activity even upon product Minimizes redeposition of process residues
neutralization prior to discharge
Low-foaming at all temperatures Easily rinsed; also, does not cavitate recirculation pumps

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
CIP 200 cleaner is designed to be low-foaming at all temperatures. Typical operating temperatures range from ambient to
185°F (85°C). For exceptionally heavy soils, the higher temperatures may be required.
Typical operating concentrations of CIP 200 run from 0.25 oz/gal to 4.0 oz/gal (0.2-3.1% v/v) and depend on temperatures,
soil loads and cleaning equipment used. STERIS will help you establish the optimum cleaning criteria for your operations. If
desirable, our laboratories can screen various times, concentrations and temperatures to determine the optimum cleaning
parameters for each soil.
Several options exist for the feed and control of CIP 200 cleaner, including:
1. A titration for use-concentration determination (Test Kit EQ1411).
2. Conductivity for automated feed and control (Laboratory Report #3239).
See your local STERIS Corporation sales representative for methods of testing for residuals of CIP 200 cleaner.
