Description
L&R Barrier Milk protects instruments during autoclaving with a one minute dip before the cycle starts. The concentrated dip provides comprehensive protection from rust, corrosion and heat discoloration while it keeps hinged instruments and box locks moving smoothly.
- Rust and corrosion shield – Dip protects instruments through the heat of the autoclave cycle
- Heat discoloration defense – Helps instruments come out of the cycle without heat staining
- Hinge and box lock care – Keeps hinged instruments moving smoothly cycle after cycle
- Neutral pH formula – Phenolic free and nitrate free with a mild, pleasant odor
A One Minute Dip That Guards Instruments Through Every Cycle
Autoclave heat and steam are hard on steel, and unprotected instruments slowly rust, corrode and stain. A one minute dip in this solution before the cycle lays down protection that carries instruments through the heat. The formula works as both a corrosion inhibitor and a lubricant, so hinges and box locks keep their smooth action instead of grinding dry. Its neutral pH and phenolic free, nitrate free makeup keep it mild to work with at the sink. L&R Manufacturing has built ultrasonic cleaners and processing solutions in New Jersey since 1930.

Why Instrument Teams Dip Before They Autoclave
Quality instruments are a major investment, and steam cycles quietly tax that investment every single day. A one minute protective dip is a small step that defends finish, function and hinge action together. The gallon concentrate keeps the cost of that protection low per set.
- Protects instrument value – Rust, corrosion and heat stains shorten the working life of costly instruments
- Smoother hinges – Lubrication in the dip keeps box locks and hinges moving freely
- One minute step – The dip adds almost no time to the reprocessing routine
- One maker for the whole bench – L&R also builds the ultrasonic cleaners and solutions used beside the autoclave
