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 Remi Corp Re-Lion 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.

Two of the five products were successful in removing the cutting fluid. AW Chesterton and Eastern Etching & Chemical products removed 93 and 88% respectively.
