Chlorinated brake cleaner spray is a high-performance, solvent-based cleaning product designed for removing brake dust, grease, oil, and other contaminants from brake components. It contains chlorinated solvents, such as tetrachloroethylene (PERC) or methylene chloride, known for their fast evaporation, powerful degreasing, and zero-residue performance.
These cleaners are typically used in professional settings but are increasingly regulated due to their environmental and health risks.
🔬 Key Properties:
| Property | Description |
