Tests
Confirm that Gaylord Chemical's DMSO
is
highly effective in removing Polyurethane Flush
&
Clean-up Residues
Tests
conducted at an independent laboratory confirm the effectiveness of Gaylord
Chemical Company, L.L.C.'s DMSO and DMSO-based formulations for dissolving
a wide variety of both cured and uncured polyurethane residues. DMSO's perform-
ance, combined with its formulation versatility and safety profile, make it
an excellent
choice for polyurethane flush and clean-up.
The
tests evaluated the effectiveness of the twelve most common solvents and for-
mulated solvent blends which are utilized by Solid Elastomer, Flexible
Foam, and
Rigid Foam processors. The studies examined each solvent's ability to
flush key
raw materials and to swell or dissolve cured elastomers.
