Hi everybody,

I posted a question few months ago and didn't get too many answers for this
subject. I assume that there was not too many effort at that time to
implement a new cleaning media to be used in vapor degreaser for the
replacement of  1,1,1-Trichloroethane.

It would be appreciated to have any comments or inputs from those who have
implemented a new cleaning solvent with 0 or low ODP to replace the solvent
HCFC-141b. I would like to have your appreciation on the product you have
selected. Have you tried aerosol cleaner degreaser for manual cleaning and
how does it compares with vapor process?

What have been done to implement the solvent replacement (ex: cleanliness
test, inspection, SIR testing or more)? Is the Appendix D (Material and
Process Compatibility Testing) of J-STD-001B been used for the
implementation if you assemble Class-3 products?

If you have any suggestion of cleaning solvent suppliers (for vapor
degreaser or aerosol degreaser), please send it to [log in to unmask]

Thanks folks!
