Eleven cleaning formulations were selected from the laboratories supply. Ten were used at 100% and at room temperature (75 F). A plastic eye dropper was used to place a small amount of the solutions onto the part's surface and allowed to soak for 1 minute. At the end of the soaking, the solution was wiped off using a swab. The part was observed for any signs of cleaning. One product, sodium bicarbonate, was used in a media blasting unit. The part was cleaned for 1 minute at room temperature at a pressure around 100 psi.

Contaminant: White powders (SiO2, NHCl, (NH4)2SiF6, or NH4HF2)

At first glance, most of the products looked like they cleaned the white powder from the metal part. After the liquids dried, the white powder returned. A couple of products left less white powder than was already there. The media blasting with sodium bicarbonate was very successful in removing the white powder. The blasting also removed the green paint from the side of the part. The following table lists the observations made during the trial.
