Two products were selected from the lab's on-line database, www.cleanersolutions.org, based on client supplied information for a drop-in solvent replacement to TCE. Each product was used at room temperature.

Six dirty parts, coated with various oils were cleaned using immersion cleaning with no agitation. Larger parts were cleaned for less than 1 minute and the small gear pieces were cleaned in under 20 seconds. Two parts were cleaned in one solvent and four in the second.

Cleaning observations were made to determine the amount of cleaning that took place. 

Cleaner Part Observation
M6960 Large gear Outside surface was clean as needed
    Some grease still in the interior hole
    Dried quickly
  Small gear Cleaned quickly and effectively
Lenium CP Large gear Outside surface was clean as needed
     Some grease still in the interior hole
     Dried quickly
  Small gear Cleaned quickly and effectively

Both products were very effective on the smaller gears. The addition of heat and ultrasonics will help to improve overall performance on the more difficult parts and soils.
