Heavy-duty non-chlorinated brake cleaner spray is a powerful solvent-based cleaning product designed to remove grease, oil, brake dust, dirt, and other contaminants from brake components without using chlorinated solvents such as perchloroethylene or methylene chloride. It uses non-chlorinated hydrocarbons, alcohols, or ketones as its active ingredients, making it less toxic and more environmentally friendly, while still providing strong cleaning performance for industrial and automotive use.
🔬 Key Properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Solvent Base | Non-chlorinated solvents (e.g., heptane, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, hydrocarbons) |
| Cleaning Power | High — removes heavy grease, oil, brake dust, and grime |
| Evaporation Rate | Fast to moderate (depending on solvent blend) |
| Residue | Typically residue-free after application |
| Flammability | High — due to petroleum-based and alcohol-based solvents |
| Toxicity | Lower than chlorinated cleaners but still requires proper ventilation and PPE |
| Compatibility | Safe on metals; caution required with some rubber and plastic parts |
| VOC Content | May be high unless specifically formulated to meet low-VOC regulations |
| Storage Requirements | Store in cool, ventilated areas away from heat and ignition sources |
🧰 Applications:
-
Automotive brake maintenance – discs, drums, calipers, pads
-
Fleet and heavy-duty vehicle service – trucks, buses, and industrial equipment
-
Mechanical workshops – general degreasing and brake service cleaning
-
Industrial machinery – cleaning of brake and clutch systems
-
Pre-assembly surface prep – ensuring clean contact surfaces in brake assemblies
-
Environments avoiding chlorinated solvents due to toxicity, compliance, or safety concerns
