What are Electrical Contact Cleaning Solutions?

Electrical contact cleaning solvents is a relatively new form of parts cleaning option available to industrial businesses needing to clean metals and materials. Electrical contact cleaning solvents are growing in popularity because of their effectiveness and simplicity as a parts cleaning agent. An electrical contact cleaning solvent is merely the use of compressed air, combined with a cleaning agent that will evaporate, such as isopropyl alcohol. An electrical contact cleaning solution is especially useful for cleaning electric components that have dirt, dust, rust, grime, oil, grease, or any other type of corrosive particles on them. Electrical contact cleaning solutions can dislodge these foreign elements and corrosive particles to thoroughly clean components.

One reason why electrical contact cleaning solvents have become such a popular solution for cleaning parts, metals, and materials is there are several brands of electrical contact cleaners available, and these cleaners can be found at many of the larger hardware stores, electronics dealers, and even hobby shops. In addition, electrical contact cleaning solvents are not expensive. Many consider this parts and materials cleaning option as an eco friendly – or “green” – alternative to using chemical compound solvents that are dangerous to people and are hazardous to the environment (Note: There are several types of industrial cleaning solvents, many of which are eco friendly. For more information, contact Ecolink).

When searching for eco friendly cleaners keep these key factors in mind:

  • Does the cleaner have a high flashpoint?
  • Will it fully evaporate leaving no residue?
  • Is it free from all hazardous ingredients as defined by EPA?
  • Does it meet numerous corrosion test requirements?
