The longer you wait between cleaning, the longer the cleaning will take... If you can, soak the fins either by immersion or by surrounding with moist air by enclosure or constant stream of spray. Augment the moist air with a detergent or a Terpene (citrus oil - works very well when given...

FYI - if you have cadmium in your plant in ANY amount for ANY reason, you have to at least read and have a written response/record of declaration to the OSHA regulation on Cadmium found in 29 CFR 1910.

Did this just recently start after not having the problem? Check/ask the molder for any change in the mold release agent formulation. T he EPA ban on a prominent solvent for release agents, 141b, has caused universal re-formulation this year. I have one customer who discovered...

I would not use d-Limonene as a heat transfer fluid above 100 F unless the entire environment it is used in is a Class 1, Division 2, NEC designed: in short, explosion proof equipment and working tools/procedures all around! I've been safety engineer for a chemical plant handling combustible...

Have you tried nPB, n-Propyl bromide 106-94-5? It is non-flammable and dissolves better than 1,1,1 Trichlor.

Try soybean oil, AKA a lecithin or an ester, or a water emulsion silicone. These would slow down the water permeation, but eventually wash out and allow water through.

Check with plastic materials suppliers from your local yellow pages or off the web. They may have it identified with their product line.

Wow, that is very helpful. I will have to go back and see if any of the wiring imprint or labeling is readible. In this case, they are not under the eaves at all. They are totally unprotected, directly exposed to the sun, snow, etc. One comes through the wall and a 90 El for plastic piping...

First inspection of daughter's house, she just moved into. There are two location where the prior owner ran typical looking romex wire from the porch light or just through the wall. Then he stapled it to siding and bottom side of gutters and up the downspout to a flood light. The wire to the...

Are you using the Melamine, Nicholet, Conditioner and rubber sheet as a purge material? What kind of liquid cleaners have you used - halogen or hydrocarbon based? What are you coating the mold with? What is your basic resin and what is it you are cleaning out of the cavity - resin, burned...

Sorry Pat, no. I was in Corpus Christi, TX in the late 70's. Regards, Phillip

The ceramic, boron nitride, could be added to the resin to instill greater lubricity as well as temperature stability. It is also used as a mold release for an engineered resin at 8,000 psi and 800 F to make jet engine bearings and washers. It is not appropriate in this forum to comercially...
