Dielectric Solvent Cleaners

Synthetic solvent-based dielectric cleaners are highly effective at dissolving dielectric grease. The Z99 Safety Solvent Degreaser and ZL98 Contact Cleaner use powerful flushing solvents that break down and flush away grease, oil, and residue from contacts, connectors, and electrical assemblies without leaving any residue behind after evaporation.

Yes. Both Z99 and ZL98 are non-conductive and tested for dielectric strength — Z99 at 36,000 volts and ZL98 at 18,000 volts — making them safe for use on live, energized electrical systems. Always follow label instructions and maintain safe working distances when servicing energized equipment.

No. Both the Z99 Safety Solvent Degreaser and ZL98 Contact Cleaner are self-evaporating formulas that leave zero residue. This is critical for electrical applications, as any residue could impair conductivity, attract contaminants, or damage delicate electronic components and circuit boards.

The ZL98 High Purity Plastic Safe Contact Cleaner is specifically formulated and tested to be safe on a wide range of materials including PTFE, PVC, ABS, Nylon, Polyurethane, Neoprene, Silicone, and most paints. The Z99 is designed for heavy industrial use on metal components and machinery.

The Z99 Safety Solvent Degreaser is available in 20 oz aerosol cans (cases of 12), 5-gallon pails, and 55-gallon drums for bulk industrial use. The ZL98 Contact Cleaner is available in 16 oz aerosol cans sold in cases of 12. Contact Zircon Industries at 800-547-4328 for volume pricing.

Neither product is flammable. The Z99 carries a Level-1 storage rating, the safest classification, and contains no petroleum distillates or ozone-depleting chemicals. The ZL98 is also non-flammable, significantly reducing fire hazard concerns in shop, facility, and field storage environments.
