Cleaning in the Chemical Milling Industry

Before I begin, I want to comment that my company has had a lot of success selling cleaners to the Chemical Milling industry. That success is based on an understanding of the nature of the soils, and the requirements for cleaning that soil off. Dick Shute has asked me to talk about our understanding of that soil, and how we address the cleaning requirements. During the preparation of this talk, I had the powerful feeling that by revealing our approach to this issue, I was giving away the family jewels. I certainly hope that giving this talk results in the users understanding what the nature of the problem is, rather than the other chemistry vendors in our audience.
