Electrical Contact Cleaner Sprays | Manufacturer

Yes, you can spray electrical contact cleaner on electrical and electronic components. Zircon Industries' ZL98 and Z99 are both non-conductive, non-flammable aerosol formulas designed to be sprayed directly on contacts, circuit boards, relays, switches, motors, and more. Both are self-evaporating and leave no residue. Users should always follow the product label, SDS guidance, and their facility's electrical safety procedures — including lockout/tagout rules — before applying any cleaner to energized equipment.

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' contact cleaners are available in multiple formats to suit different application scales. The ZL98 is available in aerosol cans, while the Z99 Safety Solvent Degreaser is available in both aerosol and bulk formats, including 5-gallon pails and 55-gallon drums. Volume discounts are available, with coverage across all 50 U.S. states and Canada.

Zircon Industries' electrical contact cleaner sprays are designed for use on a wide range of electrical and electronic components, including circuit boards, relays, switches, potentiometers, motors, wire terminals, circuit breakers, cable ends, control panels, starters, generators, bearings, and industrial machinery assemblies. They are also used to maintain gas, water, and electric meters and associated electrical assemblies in the field.

Zircon Industries has been formulating specialty chemical products since 1970, giving the company over 55 years of formulation expertise. Their contact cleaners are developed through rigorous R&D to deliver reliable performance in demanding industrial environments, and their products hold certifications including GSA Canadian Compliant, ASTM D-877 Dielectric Tested, and Level-1 Storage Rated.
