Trial #8
To evaluate top products at two concentrations and an elevated temperature.
The top five products were selected from the previous lab trial. Products were diluted to 5% using DI water in 300 ml glass beakers. Water also was used. Solutions were heated to 130 F. The beakers were immersed in a water bath in a Branson 40 kHz ultrasonic tank. Products were degassed for five minutes.
A set of three soiled steel parts (with metal grit/fines) were immersed into each product and cleaned for 5 minutes using ultrasonic agitation. Following cleaning, coupons were observed for cleanliness.
As in the previous trial Daraclean 282 GF cleaned parts at both 5 and 10% dilutions at 130 F were visually the cleanest. At 5%, Polyspray Jet 790xs was the next cleanest followed by M Aero. At 10% these two products were reversed with M Aero having cleaning parts than 790xs.
