Project Number 1
Summary:
The SC Aircraft & Metal Cleaner and Micro 90 appear to well suited for cleaning all supplied contaminants using immersion cleaning. The Beyond 2004 required slightly more effort to remove inks but was effective at removing the oil and flux. In addition, the three client requested products have been tested on six soils. The M Aero was the only product to work on all six contaminants. The M Aero NS worked on all except the ink. With further cleaning time, the ink would have been removed by M Aero NS.Test Objective:
To establish new cleaning process to replace acetone.Product Use:
