General Care

The life and appearance of AFCC work surfaces can be prolonged by following a few simple procedures:

  • Clean up spilled reagents immediately.
  • Wash surfaces at least once a day with soap and clean water and follow with a clean water rinse.
  • Avoid the use of steel wool and other heavy abrasives.


Note:

The physical and chemical properties of AFCC 's Colorlith HP represent typical average values obtained in accordance with accepted test methods and are subject to normal manufacturing variations. They are supplied as a technical service and are subject to change without notice. Check wth AFCC's Corporate Headquarters to assure current information.
