Trial Purpose:
Laboratory evaluations of alternative cleaning products
Date Run:
02/12/2002Experiment Procedure:
Basic cleaning performance testing was conducted using ASTM G122 as the bases for cleaning.
Cleaning: 5 min. immersion cleaning with stir-bar agitation at 120 F.
Rinsing: 1/2 min. manual with water at 120 F.
Drying: 1 min. with heat gun at 500 F.
Contaminant:
1. Coating: Paint-Nybco Designer colors - Contains-Toluene, xylene, acetone.
2. Oil: Nevastane- Safeguard 6- ELF-Lubricant, lubricating oil, Cas #: 64742-47-8, 8042-47-5, 9003-29-6.
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 for the ink.
