Water Bath / Acrylic Care

CAUTION
38
• Do not clean with abrasive cleansers or cloths. Use deionized
water whenever possible. If you must use a cleanser or solvent, be
sure that it is as mild as possible, non-abrasive, and fully
compatible with acrylic before use. If in doubt, call the service
department for advice before proceeding.
• Do not use window-cleaning sprays, kitchen scouring
compounds, or solvents such as acetone, gasoline, benzene,
alcohol, carbon tetrachloride, or lacquer thinner. These can
scratch the material's surface and / or weaken it causing small
surface cracks called "crazing".
• Our recommendations include but are not limited to the
following:
• Hot water:< 150 °F
• Vinegar (5% Glacial Acetic Acid)
• Ethyl alcohol: maximum 10%
• Isopropyl alcohol: maximum 25%
• Please store disintegration baskets properly between uses. Do not
simply place disintegration baskets in a drawer. They will be
subject to nicks, chips, and scratches as they bump against each
other. Place them back into the original shipping containers or
other appropriate containers between uses. This will prevent them
from coming into contact with each other or anything else in the
storage area.
Do not use cleaning compounds containing ammonia or abrasive
cleaners on your water bath.
The water bath supplied with the 100 Disintegration Apparatus should
be maintenance free except for an occasional cleaning. If you use a
water bath algaecide or clear bath product, ensure it is compatible with
PETG and acrylic. The flow paths in the heater / circulator are primarily
