    Acid to clean Alkaline battery leakage

    I've read online the recommendation to use distilled white vinegar to clean alkaline battery leakage residue (potassium carbonate). In one comment in a forum someone mentioned the "benefit of being a volatile organic acid which means it evaporates without leaving a trace, in other words once...

    IPA and Galvanized Steel

    Thank you for your help. Regarding the conductivity of IPA: I always thought IPA was non conductive as it is used in the cleaning process of electronics. Google results indicate many saying the same (non-conductive) however looking at reputable websites from chemical manufacturers, they indicate...

    IPA and Galvanized Steel

    It appears the dissipative model is rated as "excellent" for IPA, (conductive has a rating of "good"): http://www.charleswater.co.uk/PDF/MendaCompatibility.pdf For acetone it is the other way around (dissipative has a rating of "good" and conductive a rating of "excellent"). I wonder why that...

    IPA and Galvanized Steel

    I'll be using 99.9% Anhydrous IPA or 99% IPA. Menda has a conductive pump and a dissipative pump. In this case I guess it would be better to go with an ESD safe HDPE pump. Would it make much of a difference if I go with conductive vs dissipative?

    IPA and Galvanized Steel

    Thank you tbuelna. I've returned the steel galvanized dispensing container. I am now trying to decide between either this: (HDPE bottle with Stainless Steel pump) http://menda.descoindustries.com/MendaCatalog/PumpAndBottle/StainlessSteel/Natural/35396/#.VKm6xCvF_ps or this: (HDPE container...

    IPA and Galvanized Steel

    I would like to store/dispense Isopropyl Alcohol (99.9% Anhydrous or 99%). The dispensing container that I will be using is made of galvanized steel (Justrite 10018 [Galvanized] Steel Plunger Can). The IPA is for electronics use (removing flux, cleaning PCBs). According to Justrite (who...
