Trial Purpose:
Laboratory evaluations of alternative cleaning products
Date Run:
05/27/2004Experiment Procedure:
Basic cleaning performance testing was conducted using ASTM G122 as the bases for cleaning.
The five products were used at full strength in a 250 ml beaker and heated to 96 F on a hot plate. Fifteen preweighed silver plated copper coupons were coated with the Houghton International Cindol 3401 oil (64742-46-7) using a handheld swab. Coupons were weighed a second time to determine the amount of soil added to each coupon. Three coupons were cleaned in each solution for 5 minutes using stir-bar agitation. After cleaning parts were weighed a final time and efficiencies were calculated.
Success Rating:
Preliminary compatibility tests on substrate coupons encouraging for at least one cleaning chemistry. More in-depth laboratory testing necessary.Conclusion:
All five removed over 85%.
