Trial Number 317

Trial Purpose:

Laboratory evaluations of alternative cleaning products

Date Run:

03/03/2004

Experiment Procedure:

Basic cleaning performance testing was conducted using ASTM G122 as the bases for cleaning. 

Three products were used at full strength and one product was heated to 130 F on a hot plate. Twelve preweighed coupons were coated with Ferrocote 5815 LVO and allowed to dry for a half an hour and reweighed. Three coupons were cleaned in each solution for 5 minutes using stir-bar-agitation, rinsed in a tap water bath for 15 seconds at 120 F and dried using air blow off for 30 seconds at 68 F. Coupons were allowed to dry for a half an hour and then reweighed a final time. Efficiencies were calculated.

Success Rating:

Preliminary compatibility tests on substrate coupons encouraging for at least one cleaning chemistry. More in-depth laboratory testing necessary.

Conclusion:

Three of the four products were effective at removing the contaminants with an efficiency rate of >87%
