Hi All-

  

 I've been searching the archives with squat for success, so I'll toss this out to the list.  I find myself using various solvents in some proximity to my canopy on occasion.  Can anyone post a simple list that describes the relative hazard factor for various fluids, like:  acetone, toluene, MEK are instant disaster;  alcohol, gasoline, naptha are damaging over time, water is fine?

  

 TIA, fellas-

What a coincidence.  Todays Light Plane Maintenance covers this very topic.



Assuming acrylic window:



Ammonia is bad as are aromatic solvents (MEK, acetone, lacquer thinner, 

gasoline

paint stripper.



Safest solvents are 100% mineral spirits (odorless is best), kerosene.



Try to find a copy  (Sep 2006) for all the details.

 =================================

  

 If I recall my materials science, there is a rating called a Kauri Butanol  Factor (sp) that is a good relative rating of solvency for purposes of  dissolving resins and such.

  

 Just guessing, I would imagine that a solvency list for  Acrylic would go something like this, from worst to best: MEK, Methylene  Chloride, Ethyl Ether, Acetone, other Ketones, TCE, TCA, Gasoline and other  Benzenes, Freons, Alcohols, Naphtha (white gas), Terpenes (Turpentine,  d-Limonene and similar), Water.
