How sensitive is the compound surface layer to cleaning?
Since the compound layer is the surface offering solder protection, it is recommended that the ThermaLLife surface be cleaned so as not to disturb this thin layer. No more than a 20psi glass bead, or Scotch-Brite may carefully be used. If more aggressive cleaning is required, we recommend using utrasonic methods using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) which can remove solder without disturbing diffusion zones and coatings.
