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 consist of immersing a workload into the boiling solvent, rinsing, or spraying with cool solvent and drying in solvent vapor.
