Trial #7
To evaluate selected cleaners on supplied parts using immersion cleaning followed by spray cleaning.
Two cleaning products were diluted to 5% and 2.5% using room temperature tap water (68 F) in 1000 ml beakers. Supplied parts that were received already contaminated were cleaned in the immersion solution for one minute and then cleaned in the spray system for one minute. One part was cleaned in each solution. Following cleaning in the low-pressure spray system parts were rinsed for 15 seconds in a tap water spray at 68 F and dried using dry compressed air at room temperature. Parts were analyzed visually. Cleaned parts were packaged and sent to the client.
Both products removed the buffing compound at the higher concentration (5%). The Detergent 8 appeared to work at the lower concentration (2.5%) as well.
