Trial Number 131

Trial Purpose:

Laboratory evaluations of alternative cleaning products

Date Run:

01/09/2002

Experiment Procedure:

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

Contaminant: ITW Dykem Corp - ink-Steel blue -DX-100
cas # : 64175, 123864, 71363, 9004700, 67630, 8004873.
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:
Cleaning : 5 min. immersion cleaning at 120 F with stir-bar agitation.
Rinsing   : 1/2 min. manual with water at 120 F.

Success Rating:

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

Conclusion:

NONE OF THE CLEANERS WORKED. There was observed increase in weight which can be contributed to the fact that water was retained by the contaminant.
