Polywater® Type FD™ Electrical Contact Cleaner

A Fast-Drying Cleaner
for Electrical and General Industrial Use

• Fast Evaporating – Saves time and ensures moisture doesn’t compromise the splice.
• Multipurpose – One cleaning solvent for electrical installations.
• Compatible – Will not corrode or stain metal.  Safe to use with most plastics.
• Variety of Packaging – To meet different end uses.
• Non-Conductive – Will not short across typical electrical voltages.

FD^™ Electrical Contact Cleaner is a fast-drying, multi-purpose industrial and maintenance cleaner.  It is suitable for electrical and communication maintenance cleaning.  It replaces ozone-depleting CFC’s, trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, HCFCs, perchloroethylene, and other carcinogenic chlorinated solvents. FD^™ Cleaner effectively dissolves industrial grimes, greases, lubrication fluids, silicone, tars, adhesives, and fluxes.

FD^™ Electrical Contact Cleaner leaves no residue once dried.  It is excellent for cleaning contacts, meters, communication radios, and cleaning medium voltage cable during the terminating process.  For precision cleaning (residue-free use), prevent recontamination with existing grime by finishing with a fresh wipe, spraying until the solvent runs clear, or rinsing in a fresh bath of FD^™ cleaner. FD^™ Electrical Contact Cleaner is fast evaporating and does not require forced air to dry.  In areas where solvent has pooled, the part may be wiped with an absorbent, lint-free towel.

Compatibility

FD^™ Electrical Contact Cleaner will not corrode or stain metal parts. It does not tarnish or corrode copper per ASTM D130 and D1729.  FD^™ Electrical Contact Cleaner is compatible with most plastics and elastomers. See the technical data sheet in sidebar for industry testing data.

Safety

FD^™ Electrical Contact Cleaner has a low level of toxicity. As with any solvent, ventilation should be sufficient to keep vapors at safe levels.  FD^™ Electrical Contact Cleaner is an extremely flammable liquid.  It should not be used on energized equipment. FD^™ should not be used for high-temperature cleaning or be exposed to pilot lights, flames or heated surfaces. Good industrial hygiene practices and appropriate precautions should be employed during use.
