Project Number 1

Summary:

Four products would result in successful cleaning of all the metal working fluids. The design of the parts containing holes and threads would require ultrasonic cleaning.

Test Objective:

Recommend alternative degreasing chemistries and equipment to reduce the use or replace TCE vapor degreaser.

Product Use:

Power transmission industry
Trial Number Date Run Purpose Success Rating
0 05/31/2001 To identify a cleaner to remove C-Eblis cutting oil from steel parts Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.
1 06/01/2001 To evaluate selected cleaners using ultrasonic energy to remove cutting fluid Results suggest a scale-up feasible match for cleaning chemistry and equipment. Pilot plant study with actual parts recommended.
2 06/08/2001 To evaluate four effective cleaners on a second contaminant Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.
3 06/11/2001 To evaluate successful cleaners on third contaminant. Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.
4 06/11/2001 To evaluate successful cleaners on fourth contaminant Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.
5 06/12/2001 To evaluate successful cleaners on fifth contaminant. Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.
6 06/12/2001 To evaluate successful cleaners on sixth contaminant. Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.
7 06/13/2001 To evaluate successful cleaners on sixth cleaner. Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.
8 06/14/2001 To evaluate the four cleaners on the remaining contaminant mix. Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.
9 06/20/2001 To clean supplied parts with the successful cleaners Results suggest a scale-up feasible match for cleaning chemistry and equipment. Pilot plant study with actual parts recommended.
