EW 50
Liquid Egg Destainer and Additive
* Purpose
EW 50 quickly and effectively removes egg shell stains caused by rusty cages, blood, fecal matter and other soils. Although EW 50 is a powerful product, it will not weaken or harm egg shells. Use of this product will greatly reduce the number of Grade B eggs, and reduce the amount of detergent needed for satisfactory cleaning.
* Typical Applications
EW 50 is recommended for use in virtually all egg processing plants, especially those handling an appreciable number of Grade B eggs. EW 50 is safe to use in contact with steel, stainless steel, copper, tin, brass, or aluminum, as well as tile, brick, porcelain, plastic and painted surfaces, when used as directed.
* Advantages
Effective – Increases efficiency of detergent at low concentrations.
Neutral pH – Will not affect properties of products used with it.
Liquid – Easily dispensed and controlled.
* Properties
EW 50 is a clear, amber, slightly viscous liquid with a very slight odor, is neutral in pH, and has a Specific Gravity of 1.25 (10.43 lbs./gallon). EW 50 is a blend of sequestering agents and destaining compounds. It contains no phosphates or NTA.
* Use Directions
Wash eggs with recommended LW Chemical egg detergent. When washing very dirty eggs, reduce the detergent concentration by 1/4, and add EW 50 at a rate of 1 oz./gallon. For batch destaining, cool eggs to (70-80 F.). Prepare an 8-10 oz./gallon solution of EW 50 in 100 F. water, and immerse eggs 2-5 minutes.
