Trial Number 129

Trial Purpose:

Laboratory evaluations of alternative cleaning products

Date Run:

01/08/2002

Experiment Procedure:

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

Cleaning : 5 min. immersion cleaning at 120 F with stir-bar agitation.
Rinsing   : 1/2 min. manual in water at 120 F.
Drying    : 1 min with heat gun at 500 F.
Contaminant : latex binder mix (00146),
CAS # of contaminant : 9016-45-9,7664-41-7, 50-00-0

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 were effective.
