Need to reduce VOC amounts
Visual specifications are critical with our components
some parts are leak or pressure tested
Reduce VOC content without increasing cleaning cycles
Several trials have been performed for aqueous and non-aqueous based cleaning products. Supplied parts have been cleaned using both methods and sent back to the client for further analysis.
