Cleaning Procedures
It is recommended that Asahiklin AE3100E be used in a vapor degreaser to optimize cleaning efficiency, economy, and emission control. Cleaning procedures for Asahiklin AE3100E are quite similar to those of AK225 products. The procedures consists of immersing a workload into the boiling solvent, rinsing, or spraying with cool solvent and drying in solvent vapor.
Material Compatibility
Asahiklin AE3100E has a broad range of compatibilities Table 3 Effect of Asahiklin AE3100E on Unstressed Plastics and Elastomers at Boiling Point.
Environmental Properties
Environmental Health and Safety
Please read the current product Material Safety Data Sheet (available through your AGCCA technical service representative) and the precautionary statement on the product package prior to use. Follow all applicable precautions and directions.
ASAHIKLIN AE3100E is nonflammable. The solvent acts as an azeotrope and is resistant to thermal breakdown and hydrolysis during storage and use. Recommended handling procedures are provided in the Material Safety Data Sheet, which is available from your AGCCA representative upon request.
