To generate a list of alternatives that can be used to manual clean plastic surfaces covered with various adhesives
Using the laboratory's database for solvent cleaning substitution, the lab generated a list of products that have been used to replace TCE in adhesive removal. In addition, vendor supplied data was searched for the same parameters.
Several lists were identified for adhesive removal from plastic surfaces using manual wiping.
The first two lists are based on laboratory testing for general situation.
