Star San by Five Star - 32 oz Bottle

STAR SAN is a blend of phosphoric acid and dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid. This synergistic blend provides a unique killing system that is unaffected by excessive organic soils. STAR SAN is also a self-foaming sanitizer. It can be applied through a foamer to produce self-adhering sanitizing foam for external sanitation. STAR SAN is also an excellent sanitizer for hand application. Sanitizing with STAR SAN on a daily basis will leave equipment in an acid condition that will eliminate water spotting. It is not recommended to use STAR SAN on soft metals because of the acid nature of this product.

Star San works great for passivating your stainless steel products such as Ss Brew Tech Fermenters and Ss Brew Tech Kettles. Passivation is an important step in protecting and prolonging the life of your stainless steel.
