Basic cleaning performance testing was conducted using ASTM G122 as the bases for cleaning. 

Five products were used at full strength, heated to 120 F on a hot plate. Fifteen preweighed coupons were coated with Monroe Fluid Tech Cool Tool II cutting fluid and allowed to dry overnight and reweighed. Three coupons were cleaned in each solution for 5 minutes using stir-bar-agitation, rinsed in a tap water bath for 15 seconds at 120 F and dried using air blow off for 30 seconds at 68 F. Coupons were allowed to dry overnight and then reweighed a final time. Efficiencies were calculated.

Note: Bio T Foam Plus was sprayed onto coupons at room temperature and allowed to sit for 5 minutes. The cleaner was then rinsed.

Four of the five products removed over 93% of the cutting fluid within five minutes of immersion cleaning. Only Bio T Foam plus removed under 85%.
