uminium. The best results on all substrateswere obtained when using silanes.Type 1 1 deservesa par- ticular mention in this context.

Except on aluminium, the best results in individual experiments were obtained with the combination of DYNASILAN AMEO and PLEX 3

5 . Further studies must be carried out to determine the degree to which the combination ofType 1 1 1

DYNASI- LAN with the PLEX 3 5 resin, or variation of the ratios of the two su bstance classes relative

to each other, leads to considerable improvement on all substrates.

Purpose of the project The goal of the process is to prepare lastic and metal parts for further processing (bonding, painting, dyeing, electroplating, etc.) & degreasing and pickling in vaporous reaction me- dium. In this context, particular value is attached to environmental friendliness (very low concentra- tions at the workplace and emissions into the environment) and practical applicability (little operating and maintenance effort) with economically affordable investment and operating costs Based on preliminaryworkcarried out at Messrs SEPGmbH, Munich, process is known which produces very good results in the gas-phase pickling of plastics and lightly contaminated metals on laboratory scale under special conditions (hermetic sealing, water saturation tem- perature < -4 ) The project consists of two complementary parts - solvent spray degreasing/solvent vapour de
