SUBSTRATE MATERIAL: Stainless steel
REQUEST: A company that screen prints with solvent inks uses MEK to clean the equipment in a cold immersion tank or by hand depending on the size of the part to be cleaned. They are desiring minimal change
to the process, but a substitute for MEK.
RESPONSE: Using the lab’s Effective Test Conditions and Industrial Cleaning Survey Directory databases, the query yielded the following information. Three tables of results were generated, Table 1 from actual client testing, Table 2 from generic laboratory testing, and Table 3 from vendor supplied information without SCL evaluation.
