Firbimatic Vacuum Degreaser Cleaning Study
The purpose of this cleaning study was to establish the baseline of contaminants that can be removed using the Firbimatic Multisolvent 50-volt vacuum degreaser using Kyzen’s Metalnox® M6386 Solvent on 2219 aluminum alloy panels. Four different cleaning methods were used with six known contaminants. For each contaminant, five panels were contaminated—one was kept as a control, and the remaining four were cleaned using the vacuum degreaser. All applicable NASA, company, laboratory, and test-specific standard test practices were followed. Pre- and post-test results and photographs can be found in the appendices.
