REMOVING ENAMEL COATING
Dave Platt wrote:
There's a paint-and-finish stripper of a similar name (Klean-Strip Strip-X) available these days. Like the wire-"Strip-X" it contains methylene chloride, but it has no cresol or ammonia. Its other ingredients include toluene, xylene, and methanol, plus a thickener (it's relatively goopy and would probably have to be wiped off of the wire using a paper towel or Q-tip or something like that). These chemicals all come with fire- and health-hazard warnings... if you use 'em, do so with proper care and precautions! ======================================= The ( potential health)problem chemicals are the C6H6-ring hydrocarbons : toluene and xylene . In addition to breathing the vapours , skin contact with the liquid is outright dangerous Most products containing these benzene/benzol derivatives are no longer available to the public at large ,since they can cause cancer. But.......they are very effective solvents. Frank GM0CSZ / KN6WH |
