MATERIALS CLEANED		Asphalt Flooding Compound (1 type)	ETPR Cable Gels & Fillers (AVG of 5 types)	ETPR Flooding Compound (1 type)	PE/PJ Cable Gels & Fillers (AVG of 3 types)	PE/PJ Cable Flooding Compound (1 type)

Solvency Power Test Method: Testing performed at 68°F (20°C). Each cable gel/filler is mixed with 0.2% fluorescent brightening agent (CIBA-GEIGY Tinopal® SFP) by weight. A coating of material 1.0" (25.4mm) x 1.0" (25.4mm) x 1 mils (0.03mm) is placed on a clean aluminum platen. A die is used to cut .125" (3.18mm) x .125" (3.18mm) hash marks into the coated platen creating a 64-section grid system. The platen is submerged in solvent and agitated for 5 minutes. Every 15 seconds during this time the platen is quickly visually checked for cleaning ability with the naked eye. After 5 minutes the platen is evaluated under a black light to determine the amount of fluorescent cable gel/filler that was removed. A solvency percent value is obtained by dividing the cleaned surface by the whole surface tested. The time at which 100% of the fluorescent cable gel/filler is 100% removed is also recorded.

Solvency Power Test Method (for asphaltic coatings): Testing performed at 68°F (20°C). A 1" (2.54cm) section of 0.5" (12.7mm) diameter cable is submerged in solvent and agitated. The time at which 100% of the asphaltic coating is 100% removed is recorded.
