Product Information

Full details

The Action Can TF-90 is a high-performance, fast-drying solvent and degreaser engineered for professional mechanics, engineers, and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable alternative to 111-Trichloroethane cleaners. It excels at stripping away stubborn grease, oil, tar, and metal cutting fluids from machinery and components, leaving surfaces perfectly clean for bonding or painting. While it is highly effective at residue-free cleaning, users should note its rapid evaporation rate and ensure proper ventilation during use.

FAQs

Is TF-90 safe to use on rubber seals?

It is recommended to test on a small area first, as aggressive solvents can potentially cause some rubber compounds to swell.

Can I use this to clean electronics?

TF-90 is primarily a degreaser for metal components. While it evaporates without residue, it is not specifically formulated as an electrical contact cleaner.

Does it contain 111-Trichloroethane?

No, TF-90 is specifically formulated as a modern, safer alternative to 111-Trichloroethane based products.

Should I wipe the surface after spraying?

Usually, wiping is unnecessary as the product is designed for zero-residue, rapid evaporation. However, a clean lint-free cloth can be used to remove heavy debris.

Can I paint immediately after using TF-90?

Yes, once the solvent has fully evaporated and the surface is dry, it is in an ideal condition for painting or bonding.

Troubleshooting

Stubborn grease is not coming off.

Use a non-metallic stiff-bristle brush to agitate the grease while applying the solvent.

Product is evaporating too fast to clean large areas.

Work in small sections rather than spraying the entire component at once.

Surfaces appear cloudy after cleaning.

This may indicate a reaction with certain types of plastic; ensure the solvent is only applied to metallic substrates.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Dries extremely quickly with no wiping required
  • Leaves absolutely no residue on treated parts
  • Highly effective against heavy-duty industrial contaminants like wax and carbon
  • Excellent for prepping surfaces for adhesives and paints

Cons

  • Rapid evaporation requires quick handling during cleaning
  • Must be used in well-ventilated areas due to solvent vapors
  • Not intended for use on sensitive plastics or rubbers without testing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use TF-90, ensure the area is well-ventilated and keep away from ignition sources, as the spray is highly volatile. Shake the can well before use. Hold the can approximately 15-20cm from the surface and spray in short, controlled bursts. For heavy-duty grease build-up, use a soft nylon brush to agitate the area while spraying. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area if applying to painted surfaces or synthetic materials, as strong solvents can sometimes soften coatings. Store the canister in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and below 50°C.
