Trial Purpose:
To compare the efficiency of removing DCC-17 on multiple substrates using a supplied cleaning product sample and competitor sample.
Date Run:
02/17/2016Experiment Procedure:
Nine coupons for each sample (three ceramic, three plastic, and three painted steel) were weighed for initial weights. Using a swab, coupons were then dirtied with 0.5 grams of DCC17 and air dried at 68˚F overnight. Dirty weights were then collected the next day. The cleaning samples were diluted to requested amounts, Ecolab Wall Glide 2/128 and Peroxi-det 10/128, and placed into the same brand lab testing spray bottles.
Three coupons were placed into a Gardner Straight Line Washability unit. A Wypall X60 reinforced wipe was attached to the cleaning sled and treated with two sprays of cleaning solution. Each coupon was treated with the same cleaning solution two times. The solution was allowed to penetrate for 30 seconds followed by cleaning in the SLW unit for 20 cycles (30 seconds of cleaning).
Coupons were placed back on the tray and then weighed for a final weight. If coupon's gravimetric final results were off, coupons were reweighed the next day to allow for air drying.
Trial Results:
Ecolab Wall Glide’s performance on coupons was very similar per substrate. Peroxi-det, however, had a harder time removing DCC-17 from the Ceramic and plastic coupons. On painted steel, Peroxi-det was effective at removing the soil.

Success Rating:
Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.Conclusion:
Ecolab Wall Glide performed more effective overall (88.17%) on all substrates compared to Peroxi-det (73.52%).
