Washing and Degreasing
It is possible to use both organic solvents and solvents based on
water.
Organic solvents acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), benzine,
toluene, BASF Glasurit 360-4
Applied by spraying on washed surfaces (e.g. mechanical sprayer, jet
ejector) or by wiping with wet (by pouring, not by dipping because it
would contaminate the whole volume of solvent) textile wad. After
applying it, the agent is wiped off by clean absorbing material before
solvent evaporation.
Advantages: fast and reliable evaporation even from the corners and
borders without additional warming
