Trial Purpose:
Laboratory evaluations of alternative cleaning products
Date Run:
02/04/2002Experiment Procedure:
Basic cleaning performance testing was conducted using ASTM G122 as the bases for cleaning.
Cleaning: 5 min. immersion cleaning at 120 F with stir-bar agitation.
Rinsing:1/2 min. manual with water at 120 F.
Drying: 1 min. with heat gun at 500 F.
Contaminant:
1. Latex Binder mix (00146) Contains-Flouro acrylate copolymer emulsion
2. Mold Release - Silicone - GE Silicones SM 2163 Silicone emulsion (112945-52-5)
3. Wax - Stevenson Brothers and Co. Inc. Petroleum Paraffin wax
Success Rating:
Preliminary compatibility tests on substrate coupons encouraging for at least one cleaning chemistry. More in-depth laboratory testing necessary.
