IRMCO FLUIDS stamping lubricants are best removed with neutral to moderately alkaline cleaning solutions (pH 7.5-10.5 depending upon cleaning ingredients) and temperature ranging from “ambient” (≈90°F) to 130°F maximum. Processing times will vary depending upon the cleaning method (immersion, spray, ultrasonic, wand, etc.), and circulation of cleaning chemistry and surface impingement. Solvent cleaners and vapor degreasing processes are not recommended as they are designed more for oil-containing lubricants.
