Electrical Contact Cleaner Sprays | Manufacturer

A high-quality, non-conductive, non-flammable contact cleaner spray is ideal for cleaning electrical contacts. Zircon Industries offers two strong options: the ZL98 High Purity Plastic Safe Contact Cleaner, rated to 18,000 volts and safe for use on plastics and rubbers such as PTFE, PVC, ABS, neoprene, and silicone; and the Z99 Safety Solvent Degreaser, rated to 36,000 volts (ASTM D-877) for heavy industrial and automotive applications. Both are self-evaporating and leave absolutely no residue behind.

Electrical contact cleaner sprays are used to remove oil, grease, dust, condensation, and contaminants from electrical and electronic components. Common applications include cleaning circuit boards, relays, switches, potentiometers, motors, wire terminals, circuit breakers, cable ends, control panels, and industrial machinery assemblies without causing corrosion or leaving residue.

The best electrical contact cleaner depends on your application requirements. Zircon's ZL98 is ideal for sensitive electronics and plastic-heavy assemblies with an 18,000V dielectric rating, while the Z99 Safety Solvent Degreaser — rated to 36,000 volts per ASTM D-877 — suits heavy industrial and automotive equipment where maximum dielectric protection and bulk availability are priorities.

The ZL98 High Purity Plastic Safe Contact Cleaner is engineered for sensitive electronics and plastic-heavy assemblies, offering an 18,000V dielectric strength and tested compatibility with materials including neoprene, silicone, PTFE, PVC, ABS, polyurethane, polystyrene, nylon, and butyl and natural rubber. The Z99 Safety Solvent Degreaser provides a higher dielectric strength of 36,000 volts (ASTM D-877), making it better suited for heavy industrial and automotive equipment. Z99 is also available in bulk formats including 5-gallon pails and 55-gallon drums, while ZL98 is available in aerosol cans.

ZL98 and Z99 are non-conductive, non-flammable, and tested for dielectric strength. ZL98 is rated to 18,000 volts, while Z99 is rated to 36,000 volts under ASTM D-877. Both are positioned for electrical cleaning applications, including energized-equipment use, but users should follow product labels, SDS guidance, lockout/tagout rules, and facility electrical safety procedures.

No. Both the ZL98 and Z99 are self-evaporating formulas that dry rapidly and leave absolutely no residue behind. This makes them ideal for sensitive electronic assemblies and precision equipment where residue contamination could impair performance or cause long-term damage to components.

Zircon Industries' electrical contact cleaner sprays are used across a wide range of industries, including industrial manufacturing (for motors, relays, gears, and production machinery), automotive and heavy equipment (for starters, generators, bearings, and electrical assemblies), electronics and electrical equipment servicing (for circuit boards, potentiometers, switches, and relays), and utilities and metering (for maintaining gas, water, and electric meters and associated electrical assemblies in the field).
