PROTOCOL 03

Scene I: Preparation

The substrate is not passive. Linoleum composite (calcium carbonate 65%, oxidized linseed oil 30%) requires a buffer slurry of exact viscosity to penetrate the micro-pores.

Target pH

11.50 ± 0.02

Slurry Viscosity

12.5 cP

Ambient Temp

22°C

Grounded in: cleaning-validation (Q5130576)
Adapted from: Angela Monroe's hydration model

THE CONTACT WINDOW

Scene II: Dwell Phase

Time is not a duration; it is a reaction coordinate. The hydroxide ions migrate. The ester bonds hydrolyze. The stain dissolves.

Critical Dwell

127s

Diffusion Rate

0.04 mm²/s

Hydroxide Activity

Peak at 11.5

VALIDATION

Scene III: Friction Hold

The rinse is not the end. The bond is tested. The surface tension stabilizes. The floor accepts the footfall.

Static Friction

μ = 0.89

Residue Limit

< 0.01 mg/cm²

Surface Energy

72 mN/m
