Trial Purpose:
To evaluate non-aqueous products for the removal of the third supplied contaminant
Date Run:
06/19/2008Experiment Procedure:
Previously soiled steel coupons coated with the ChemSearch Aerolex Plus moly dry film lubricant were wiped with a WypAll X60 reinforced paper towel with a full-strength cleaning solution. Visual observations were made to determine if the product was effective at removing the lubricant and then ranked for ease of cleaning. Six semi-aqueous products were selected for testing based on past testing results.
Trial Results:
Of the six products evaluated, four of them worked well. The other two removed some of the lubricant but were noticeably slower than the other four. The BioGold #3 was the most effective cleaner, followed by Smart Solve 605 and DS 144 S.
Success Rating:
Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.Conclusion:
The top three products were BioGold 3, Smart Solve 605 and DS 144s. Additional evaluation of the solvents may be conducted on the other three soils if necessary.
