First Contact cleaning of water spots or water soluble contamination

Document #:

LIGO-E1200326-v2

Document type:

E - Engineering documents

Abstract:

The normal application of First Contact is not effective for salts or water spots. This procedure details a hybrid cleaning method for removing water spots.

For normal First Contact application please see E1000079 and E1300017.
