FAQs
Is this cleaner safe for all types of plastics?
While the formula is silicone-free, it is always recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area of the plastic first to ensure compatibility, as some plastics can be sensitive to solvents.
How long does it take for the cleaner to dry?
Drying time varies depending on temperature, humidity, and the amount of product applied. Typically, it will evaporate within 5-15 minutes in well-ventilated conditions. Allow ample time for complete drying before reassembling or powering up equipment.
Can I use this on circuit boards?
Yes, it is suitable for cleaning circuit boards and other electronic components to remove flux residue, dust, and other contaminants that can affect performance. Ensure the board is de-energized and completely dry afterward.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, the product typically has a shelf life of 2-3 years. Check the manufacturing date on the can.
Is this product flammable?
Yes, like most aerosol cleaners containing solvents, this product is flammable. Keep away from open flames, sparks, and hot surfaces. Use only in well-ventilated areas.
Why is a silicone-free formula important?
Silicone can leave an insulating film on electrical contacts, which can impede conductivity and potentially cause performance issues or failures, especially in high-voltage or sensitive applications. A silicone-free formula ensures a clean, conductive surface.
Troubleshooting
Cleaner not spraying effectively
Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. If clogged, try cleaning it with a pin or warm water. Shake the can vigorously before and during use.
Residue remains after cleaning
For very heavy or baked-on grime, a second application may be necessary. Agitate the residue with a brush or cloth before the second spray. Ensure adequate drying time.
Component still not working correctly
Ensure the component is completely dry before re-powering. Check for other underlying issues besides surface contamination. Ensure full conductivity has been restored.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This product is an aerosol spray and requires no setup. Ensure the electrical component is de-energized and disconnected from any power source before application.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on most heavy-duty electrical components including switchgear, motors, relays, contactors, generators, circuit breakers, and electronic components. Always test on an inconspicuous area if unsure about material compatibility, especially on plastics or painted surfaces.
Care:
- Shake the can well before use.
- Hold the can upright and spray directly onto the surface to be cleaned from a distance of 6-8 inches (15-20 cm).
- Allow the cleaner to penetrate and dissolve contaminants.
- For heavy deposits, wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth or use a brush.
- Allow the component to air dry completely before re-energizing or reassembling.
- Ensure good ventilation during application and drying. Do not spray near open flames or hot surfaces.
- Store cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep out of reach of children.
