Trial Purpose:
To generate a list of alternative cleaning products that can be used for adhesive cleaning
Date Run:
09/02/2003Experiment Procedure:
Using the laboratory's database for solvent cleaning substitution, the lab generated the following lists of products. The products have been evaluated at SSL under similar conditions to the client's criteria.
Trial Results:
The lab generated a list of products that have been used to remove various adhesives from either stainless steel or steel. The first table is a list of the adhesive specifics and the second table is the products used to remove the adhesives.
