Q. I just received your chapter on cleaning SOPs and I look forward to reading it. In parallel, I was hoping to get your thoughts or a bit of advice on how to create and implement cleanliness specifications/processes for machined (PTFE) plastic parts. Cutting fluid for the machining center is basically a water soluble vegetable oil-based fluid. The use of this plastic manifold and cover is within an electro-mechanical-fluidic subsystem (“Delivery Module”). This delivery module accumulates a quantity of 59wt% Hydrogen Peroxide that has been … Click to Read The Full Question and Answer.

Q. How can I use Citranox to clean thin tubes or needles?

A. To clean thin tubes, the best thing is to get cleaning solution flowing through the tubes. If you want to simultaneously clean the inside and outside of the tube, you need to flow solution through the tube under immersion. Learn More.

Q. Chillers get scale build-up that reduce their heat transfer efficiency, thereby reducing their chiller performance. In particular industrial lasers need good chiller performance.
Therefore, use a 2% Citranox or Citrajet solution to remove calcium scale build-up. Be sure a 100 micron filter of adequate flow rating is installed in the coolant path. Be sure no galvanized pipe is in the system. Learn More.
