Project Number 1
Summary:
Aqueous products not effective on mold/release agents when using immersion and ultrasonics. Semi-aqueous products work well when using ultrasonic cleaning. The same products worked well on the other contaminants.Test Objective:
To replace three hazardous chemicals in cleaning process.Product Use:
Molds for wire coating| Trial Number | Date Run | Purpose | Success Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 03/15/2005 | To identify alternatives for first process with mold release agents and resin | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 1 | 03/29/2005 | To re-evaluate products for removing mold release agents only | Test incomplete or inconclusive. |
| 2 | 04/04/2005 | To evaluate products for removing the mold release agents using ultrasonic cleaning. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 3 | 04/08/2005 | To evaluate semi-aqueous products for mold release cleaning using heated ultrasonics. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 4 | 05/06/2005 | To evaluate successful products under conditions closely matching current practice at client facility. | Test incomplete or inconclusive. |
| 5 | 05/06/2005 | To re-evaluate products using heated immersion. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 6 | 05/06/2005 | To evaluate product using ultrasonic cleaning. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
