Trial Purpose:
Laboratory evaluations of alternative cleaning products
Date Run:
01/09/2002Experiment 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.
