Trial Purpose:
To evaluate products on supplied parts
Date Run:
05/13/2004Experiment Procedure:
Three products were selected based on results from previous trials. All products were used heated to 160 F on a hot plate in 250 ml beakers. One product, Solvon PB, cleaned one part with the metal working fluids (Quench Oil, RI 780) for 15 minutes in the vapor degreaser. The other two products cleaned two parts, one with Quench oil and the other with the varnish mix. Each part was cleaned in each solution for 15 minutes in the bench top vapor degreaser.
Trial Results:
| Part | Observation |
| 1 | Some of the oils may have not been cleaned due to the parts were wrapped with a wire (for suspending in vapors |
| 2 Ruler | Varnish was removed within seconds of coming into contact with the vapors. |
| 3 Punch | Some of the oils may have not been cleaned due to the parts were wrapped with a wire (for suspending in vapors) |
| 4 Ruler | Varnish was removed within seconds of coming into contact with the vapors |
| 5 Punch | Some of the oils may have not been cleaned due to the parts were wrapped with a wire (for suspending in vapors |
Success Rating:
Results suggest a scale-up feasible match for cleaning chemistry and equipment. Pilot plant study with actual parts recommended.Conclusion:
The three cleaners appeared to be very effective in removing the various contaminants from the supplied parts.
