Trial Number 4

Client Number 220

Project Number 1

Trial Purpose:

To evaluate five new products on the first supplied soil.

Date Run:

04/30/2004

Experiment Procedure:

Five products were selected based on client request for vapor degreasing solvents. Each product was used at full strength in a 250 ml beaker and heated to 96 F on a hot plate. Fifteen preweighed aluminum coupons were coated with the Soltex Polybutene 32 (9003-29-6) using a hand held swab. Coupons were weighed a second time to determine the amount of soil added to each coupon. Three coupons were cleaned in each solution for 5 minutes using stir-bar agitation. After cleaning parts were weighed a final time and efficiencies were calculated.

Trial Results:

All five products removed over 90% of the contaminant within five minutes. The table lists the amount of soil added, the amount remaining and the efficiency for each coupon cleaned.
