Trial Number 1

Client Number 142

Project Number 2

Trial Purpose:

To evaluate successful products on the second supplied contaminant.

Date Run:

07/12/2004

Experiment Procedure:

Five cleaners were selected from the previous trial. All products were diluted to 5% using DI water in 600 ml beakers. All nine products were heated to 120 F on a hot plate. Fifteen preweighed aluminum coupons were coated with client supplied coating, Castrol Industries Rustilo DW 924 (64742-88-7, 64742-95-6, 64741-89-5, 64741-97-5, 64742-53-6, 95-63-6), using a hand held swab and then weighed a second time to determine the amount of soil added. Three coupons were cleaned in each solution for 5 minutes using stir-bar agitation. Coupons were rinsed in tap water for 15 seconds at 120 F, followed by air blow off at room temperature. Once dry, coupons were weighed a final time and efficiencies for each cleaner were calculated.

Trial Results:

All five products removed over 99% of the rust preventative coating. The table below lists the amount of soil added, the amount remaining and the efficiency for each coupon cleaned.

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 same five products will be used on the third supplied contaminant under the same conditions.
