Trial Report
Trial Number 1(Client Number 181, Project Number 3) |
|
Trial Purpose: To generate a list of products that can be used to remove acrylic resin adhesives from polycarbonate surfaces Date Run: 11/18/02 Experiment Procedure: The identified acrylic resin adhesive family identified crosslinks at or above 250 F which is less than the mold temperatures (265-275 F). Acids catalyze this reaction. Trial Results Using SSL's Simple Solutions database, two lists of products were generated based on client input. The first are products that have been successfully used to remove adhesives. The second list contains products that meet client's required needs based on from vendor supplied information. Table 1.
