Por15 makes several different products which includes solvent, a product that is used to clean paint and thinning Por15 preventative paint. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
Wipe off parts with a rag or wire brush before soaking in parts washer.
Do not clean parts unnecessarily.
Reduce the quantity of solvent used by implementing a two-stage cleaning system. The first stage should clean the dirtiest parts. The second stage uses cleaner solvent for final cleaning and rinsing. When the cleaning solution in the second stage is no longer effective, it can then be used to replace the solvent in the first stage. Fresh solvent is then used to replace the second stage.
Parts washers should have a recirculating feature with built-in filtration to continuously remove dirt and contaminants. This will extend the life of the solvent.
Drip racks or trays can help increase drainage from parts to minimize solvent loss.
When not in use, solvent streams should be turned off and lids on parts washers should be kept closed to reduce evaporative solvent loss.
Do not dispose of used solvent on the ground or in a storm drain
Do not combine spent solvent with used oil.
