Debby,
 
One technique that has been utilized here in Ohio for the cleaning of
tire molds utilizes carbon dioxide pellet blasting as a replacement for
solvent use. The pellet blasting does not damage the surface of the
molds and has been adapted for more delicate substrates such as circuit
boards etc.

Hi, all-
 
We are looking for a perchloroethylene alternative for cleaning large
stainless steel coils or bellows used in oil drilling.  This company
currently soaks the coils in perc-filled 55-gallon drums.   Problems may
exist with other cleaners altering the surface of the coils.  I am not
sure whether this is just an aesthetics issue or actually impedes the
function or durability of the coils.
 
Any help here?
 
Janine and Mr. Jones – please correct any misinformation and supplement
any missing details. 
 
Thanks, all.
