Metal Compatibility |
EnTron solvents are specifically designed for compatibility with white metals, ferrous metals, precious metals and alloys in a variety of cleaning applications including immersion, vapor degreasing, ultrasonic and cold wipe cleaning.
Compatibility Testing for corrosion, etching, pitting, discoloration and other signs of degradation were conducted on EnTron in reflux and immersion environments. Metal coupons were prepared, tested and analyzed in accordance with Mil.T-81533A 4.4.9 and TM0193-2000, with the following results1:
Legend: A= Liquid Immersion Area, B= Liquid/Vapor Interface Area, C= Vapor Only Area, n/e = no effects observed, m/e = minor effects, and s/e = significant effects
