Type HP Multi-Purpose Cleaner - Polywater

1 Type HP . Multi-Purpose Cleaner TECHNICAL data sheet . Description: Type HP Cleaner effectively cleans semi- conducting cable shield, corrosion inhibiting compound, silicone greases, filling gels, transformer oils and many other contaminants found in electrical construction and maintenance. It evaporates with no residue. Type HP is non-conductive. Type HP Cleaner replaces ozone-depleting CFC's, trichloroethane and other carcinogenic chlorinated solvents. Type HP Cleaner lasts longer than fast evaporating solvents and is compatible with most materials and plastics, including polycarbonate. Type HP Cleaner is available in multiple package options.

2 Bulk Type HP Cleaner is an excellent choice for soaking or rinsing parts. Pre-saturated towels limit solvent exposure and eliminate spill Product Benefits: hazard. Depending on end use, Type HP Cleaner has the optimal package available. Excellent Solvency No Residue Performance Properties: Non-Conductive Type HP Cleaner meets IEEE 1493 performance Contains No Chlorinated Solvents criteria1. It effectively cleans semi-conducting cable shield. A towel saturated with Cleaner quickly Compatible with Most Plastics and Rubbers removes the compound and becomes visibly black.

3 Physical Properties: Safety: Type HP Cleaner is a high purity solvent with low Type HP Cleaner has a low level of toxicity aromatic content. and does not contain any listed carcinogens. It is combustible and should not be exposed to Property Result fire or flame. Good industrial hygiene practice Flashpoint (ASTM D93) >140 F (60 C) and appropriate precautions should be Initial Boiling Point 365 F (185 C) employed during use. See SDS for specific details. Specific Gravity Percent Aromatics < 1%. Pel Pac System Cleaning Properties: Type HP Cleaner presaturated towelettes are a convenient package with multiple safety Type HP Cleaner dissolves a broad range of benefits.

4 Contaminants. Contaminant is added to 20 grams Cleaner at ambient temperature. The quantity Control dissolved is recorded. Presaturated wipes minimize solvent exposure on sensitive electrical parts. Directly spraying Contaminant Amount Dissolved or immersing the part allows the solvent to PCB puddle into small openings. Wipe cleaning will (Aroclor 1260) 10 grams also ensure that the solvent evaporates more Cutting oil quickly. (Rigid Nu-Clear, sulphurized oil) 10 grams Silicone grease Safety (Dow Corning 4 Compound) 2 grams The presaturated towelette package eliminates Animal oil spill hazard and limits solvent vapor exposure. (Lanolin-Tech Grade) 2 grams Wipes contain a carefully measured quantity of solvent and are an excellent way to control Usage Directions: vapor.

5 Type HP Cleaner presaturated towelettes are a great choice for underground Type HP Cleaner is suitable for many types of or confined space applications. cleaning and degreasing and is effective at room temperature. It does not freeze and can be used in Convenience cold weather applications. Each Pel-Pac package utilizes non-linting, non- tearing towels. Clean wipes are always Cleaning time and effectiveness will vary based on available, eliminating recontamination of parts the contaminant and cleaning method. Wiping or with dirty rags. Custom kits may include extra agitation cleans faster than just soaking. Experiment dry towels or abrasive cloth as needed.

6 With your particular contaminant and conditions. Type HP Cleaner is residue-free. For precision cleaning, a final rinse of fresh Cleaner should be used. Finish with a fresh wipe, spray until the solvent runs clear, or rinse in a fresh bath of Type HP Cleaner . For faster drying, air or centrifugal dryers can be used to accelerate evaporation. Wiping the part with an absorbent, lint-free towel (Cat.# DT-69) will reduce drying time considerably. Drying Time Comparisons: No Drying: 60-90 Mins. Cool Air: 3-5 Mins. Drying Wipe: 1-2 Mins. Hot Air: 2-3 Mins. Convenient Wet/Dry Tandem Pack (HP-P158ID) controls solvent exposure. Environmental Impact: Soak Testing.

7 Type HP Cleaner is a safer alternative to chlorinated solvents. Materials are immersed in Type HP Cleaner for 72 hours at 50 C (122 F). Some rubbers Property Result will swell, but should return to their original VOC Content 790 grams/liter state once the Cleaner evaporates. Wipe cleaning minimizes solvent exposure.
