Pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities house some of the world’s most advanced stainless-steel equipment. Stainless steel corrosion, or rouge, is an industry-wide problem that, left untreated, can cause:

• Problems with equipment cleaning and validation
• Equipment downtime
• Reduced equipment life
• Product contamination

Removing rouge and enhancing the corrosion resistance of stainless-steel equipment are essential preventative maintenance requirements for any manufacturing facility. The use of an acid-based pharmaceutical detergent as a part of the routine cleaning cycle or preventive maintenance programs can help preserve stainless steel equipment.
