Project Number 2

Summary:

Testing to date has been conducted over a one-week period on four contaminants using immersion cleaning with no rinsing and air drying. An attempt was made during the evaluations to identify a product that could be used on all of the contaminants. Many products were identified to meet this requirement. Of the fifteen products tested, eight were successful for each contaminant.

Test Objective:

To identify an alternative to TCE for vapor degreasing jewelry pieces

Product Use:

Jewelry
