Trial #8
To evaluate top five products on eight supplied contaminant using manual cleaning
There are no related objects.
Five products from the previous trials were selected based on performance. All were used at room temperature. Two alkaline aqueous cleaners were diluted to 5% using DI water in 300 ml beakers. Three cleaners were used at full strength. Fifteen preweighed aluminum coupons were coated with Lennox synthetic lubricant using a handheld swab. The contaminated coupons were weighed again to determine the amount of soil added.
Each cleaner tested with three coupons. Three coupons were placed into a Gardner Straight Line Washability unit. A Kimberly Clark Reinforced paper towel was attached to the cleaning sled and soaked with 5-7 sprays of cleaning solutions. Each coupon was sprayed 3 times with the same cleaning solution. First, Coupon was cleaned for 15 cycles two times; after coupon was cleaned for 15 cycles, experimenter changed the paper towel and soaked with 5 spray of same cleaning solution. At the end of the cleaning, coupons were dried at room temperature naturally. Final weights were recorded and efficiencies were calculated and recorded.
All five worked well on the oil, removing more than 95%. The table lists the amount of oil added, the amount remaining and the efficiency for each coupon cleaned.
