GENERAL INFORMATION
The lexanwindow is a coated plastic, de-
signed to resist marring under normal
operating and cleaning procedures. The
following guidelines for cleaning lexan
windows should be closely adhered to.
MAINTENANCE
A. DETERGENTS
i. The use of chemically compatible
cleaners is important to maintaining
lexan windows performance properties.
Below is a suggested list of approved
detergents:
JOY

WINDEX
TOP JOB
MR. CLEAN
FORMULA 409

2. Organic solvents may sometimes be used
for removing water/detergent insoluble
deposits or stains. Where such sol-
vents are used, avoid streaking by
using a final wash and rinse with a
water system. Two categories of or-
ganic cleaning solvents are recommend-
ed:
a. Aliphatic Hydro Carbon;
KEROSENE
VARSOL
PETROLEUM SPIRITS
VM & P GRADE NAPTHA
STODDARD SOLVENT
QUAKER SOLVENT #24-5984XX
12-13-77
b. Alcohol Solvents ;
METHANOL
ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL
DENATURED ETHYL ALCOHOL
CAUTION :
LEXAN WINDOWS ARE GENERALLY RESISTANT TO
CHEMICAL AND SOLVENT ATTACK. SOME SOL-
VENTS WHICH MAY ATTACK LEXAN WINDOWS IN-
CLUDE KETONES (ACETONE AND METHyL-ETHYL-
KETONE), AND AROMATICS (BENZENE, TOULENE,
ANDXYLENE). THESE SOLVENT TYPES SHOULD
NOT BE USED ON LEXAN WINDOWS.
B. WASHING PROCEDURES
i. AUTOMATIC WASHING SYSTEM:
a. Thoroughly pre-rinse all windows with
water to remove gritty substances.
Cool water is preferred.
b. A high pressure spraying of Lexan
windows will reduce the chances of
abrasive dirt particles marring the
windows during the brush cycle.
c. Upon entering the brush cycle, make
certain the proper amount of deter-
gent flows to add lubricity and keep
the brush fibers clean and free of
dirt particles.
CAUTION :
FAILURE TO USE SUFFICIENT DETERGENT IN-
CREASES THE POSSIBILITY OF MARRING THE WIN-
DOW SURFACE.
d. Windows should be thoroughly rinsed
with clear water immediately fol-
lowing the detergent cycle to avoid
streaking.
CAUTION :
DO NOT PERMIT DETERGENT TO DRY ON WINDOWS
OR COATING MAY BE DAMAGED.
