Trial Purpose:
Laboratory evaluations of alternative cleaning products
Date Run:
10/10/2002Experiment Procedure:
Basic cleaning performance testing was conducted using ASTM G122 as the bases for cleaning.
Cleaning: 5 min Immersion cleaning with stir-bar agitation @ 120 F
Rinsing: 1/2 min, manual, in 102 F water (tap)
Drying: 1 min with heat gun @ 500F
Contaminant: Aroset PS 8078, Ashlan Chemical (Lot# 071901). Very thick adhesive
CAS#'s 141-78-6 Ethyl Acetate, 142-82-5 Heptane, 67-63-0 Isopropanol
Success Rating:
Preliminary compatibility tests on substrate coupons encouraging for at least one cleaning chemistry. More in-depth laboratory testing necessary.
