Trial Number 0

Trial Purpose:

To evaluate three supplied products for all purpose cleaning following GS 37 requirements

Date Run:

08/12/2014

Experiment Procedure:

Three sets of nine ceramic, stainless steel, and polycarbonate coupons were weighed and then coated with the Hucker's Soil Formulation (JifCreamy peanut butter 9.2%, salted butter 9.2%, Arrowhead Mills stone ground wheat flour, 9.2%, egg yolk, 9.2%, evaporated milk 13.8%, distilled water 45.8%, Printer's ink with boiled linseed oil 0.9%, saline solution 2.7%) using a hand held swab and allowed to dry for 2 hours at room temperature.

The contaminated coupons were weighed again to determine the amount of soil added. Three coupons were placed into a Gardner Straight Line Washability unit. A Kimberly-Clark Wypal x60 reinforced paper towel was attached to the cleaning sled and soaked with 1 spray of cleaning solution. Each coupon was sprayed 1 time with the same cleaning solution. The cleaning unit was run for 20 cycles (~33 seconds). Final weights were recorded, efficiencies were calculated and recorded.

Success Rating:

Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.

Conclusion:

The Hydris Orange formulation performed slightly below the level of acceptable cleanliness compared to Formula 409.
