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 Cerdec Magenta (119-64-2, 65997-18-4, 1345-24-0, 20667-12-3) and allowed to dry for three days 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 off.

No cleaners removed over 85% of the ink.  No cleaners removed over 50% of the ink.

The addition of mechanical energy, either ultrasonics or manual wiping would improve efficiencies.
