When using substances such as white spirit as a cleaner, adequate ventilation is to be ensured. The instructions in the laboratory operating instructions must be strictly observed. Wesemann GmbH generally recommends that, when cleaning, the cleaning agent and the cleaning cloth are fi rst tested in an inconspicuous place.
User Manual | Laboratory Fume Cupboard | Cleaning of Laboratory Fume Cupboards If the contaminants are not removed immediately, standard domestic cleaners can be used, such as washing powder, liquid or hard soap, which do not contain any abrasive components. If there is a more intense contamination, it is advisable to leave the cleaner to soak in.
User Manual | Laboratory Fume Cupboard | Cleaning of Laboratory Fume Cupboards 7.2.5 Polypropylene (PP) When cleaning the surface of the compact board, a soap solution or suitable organic solvent can be used. When cleaning with organic solvents which are capable of forming an explosive mixture when in contact with air, the Polypropylene can become charged and sparking can occur when discharging.
User Manual | Laboratory Fume Cupboard | Cleaning of Laboratory Fume Cupboards not be higher than 25°C. Apply a cleaning solution of water and a small amount of neutral detergent to the contaminated area with a non-abrasive cloth. Hard rubbing damages the surface.
