Four products that were moderately successful during previous trial were diluted to 5% using DI water in 600 ml beakers and heated to 140 F on a hot plate. Solutions were immersed in a Crest 25 kHz ultrasonic tank filled with water at 140 F and degassed for 5 minutes.

Five pieces of silver tape were precleaned in Oakite Inproclean 3800 for 5 minutes using the ultrasonic tank. Baseline OSEE readings were measured. Each piece of tape was thinly coated with Atofina Copperskin 510 metal working compound (CAS#s: 64742-52-5, 123-95-5, 8016-28-2, 8002-13-9) . The contaminant was applied with a hand held swab and then wiped with a second tissue to simulate the amount of contaminant present after the drawing process. A second set of readings were recorded to determine the effect of the drawing compound on the OSEE readings of the silver tape.

Each piece of tape was cleaned for 4 seconds in the ultrasonic tank, followed by a 1 second DI water rinse at 140 F also in the ultrasonic tank. Parts were dried using a Master Appliance heat gun at 500 F for 10 seconds. Final OSEE Readings were made and compared to initial baseline.

For any cleaner that does not successfully clean at 4 seconds, a follow up cleaning will be performed under the same conditions except for the cleaning time. An 8 second cleaning time will be used.

Only one product, Crystal Simple Green, was successful in cleaning the silver tape in the 4 second cleaning.  All of the cleaners except the BCS product showed improvement from the two-1 second cleaning results from the previous trial.  After the 8 second cleaning, all of the products except the Houghton MTC-53 were effective at removing the lubricant from the tape.  The tables below show the OSEE readings for both cleaning times.

Cleaning for 8 seconds yielded the highest number of effective products. Only one product did not show improvement with the additional cleaning.
