Practical Handbook of Solvent Cleaning

In many industries, it is essential that the equipment used and the items produced are scrupulously clean. Often the development of a new product will bring with it a new range of cleaning and decontamination problems. Solvents are commonly used in precision and industrial cleaning, and Dr Durkee brings together the many facets of these complex chemicals and their use in many industrial and precision settings. How do you devise a cleaning process? Which solvent to use? How to rinse, wash and dry effectively: how to make sure all particles have been removed and then how to manage the waste solvents at the end of the process. This book aims to provide specific solutions to cleaning problems, plus guidance on the evaluation of commercial equipment. It also helps the reader understand why solvent cleaning works, or doesn't work. This is a neglected area until now. It has wide applications and a huge market.
