Chemical Compatibility in Electronics Cleaning: Ensuring Safe and Effective Processes
Dr. Adam (Dr. Adam Klett, KYZEN’S Director of Science) discusses chemical compatibility, the idea that different materials or substances may not be suitable for use together. He gives two examples of incompatible materials: diesel fuel and a gasoline engine, and nail polish remover and a Styrofoam cup. He then goes on to discuss the two main types of chemical compatibility: material compatibility (concerning how the cleaning chemistry affects the properties of the materials being cleaned), and process compatibility (concerning how the cleaning chemistry interacts with the cleaning process itself).
