Title: What chemical(s) is the orange gakks?

Anyone know for sure?  Think they know for sure?  Just curious for the hell of it.

Title: SWIM says.....

Just for the "Halibut"....no! :)
There has not been a formal analysis done on the isolated substance.
It's identity purposely doesn't exist in the inactive list.
If it had not been masked, it would have been easier to come UP with a work-around effecting it's removal.
Stabbing's in the dark by The Crash-Test Dumb-E's, who coinciDENTly worked around the clock, have determined that the worst of the OrangeII variety have been rendered disabled by the use of JD/TCE in the extraction phase followed closely by an acetone wash.
Kinda like the "Jaws of Life" for the landsharks among SWIMS!
Rather than focus on "What was the number of that truck that hit us", it would be wiser to focus yer perEscopes on the next mysterious curve ball they will inevitably wing at bees!
Always remember, They won't give UP easily and only "Action Figures" survive the blast!
Reading the General Patents helps those on the front lines!

Title: Hi ware :-( :-o Has it been established if it...

Hi ware :(  :-[

Has it been established if it is the salts or the aromatic in the JD that does whatever it does to the substance?

;D ...
Some things we'll never know....like why are we hear ya sea? ;)
Since the exact composition of the O-II gaak remains a mystery, one can only guess that the napthenic salts are rendering the substance helpless.
It seems to be impervious to single solvent assaults until it's exposed to the jappynappysalt making the pfed a degaakyhappypappy salt again. ;)
One would concievably guess that the petroleum distillate would be the likely solvent that would carry the gaak away because it's so attracted to the NP in the final a/b but for some reason it just doesn't do it on the frontside cleaning. Add the napthenic salt to the picture and the gaak is easily removed with acetone!
