Energized Electrical Equipment Cleaner

A good electrical contact cleaner should be non-conductive, non-flammable, rapidly evaporating, and residue-free. ZL98 High Purity Plastic Safe Contact Cleaner fits this use case because it is rated to 18,000 volts, tested safe on many plastics and rubbers, and designed for relays, switches, contacts, potentiometers, circuit boards, wire terminals, cable ends, receptacles, control panels, and motors.

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

ZL98 High Purity Plastic Safe Contact Cleaner is the plastic-safe option in this lineup. It is tested safe on neoprene, buna, silicone, butyl and natural rubber, nylon, Hypalon, PTFE, PVC, polyurethane, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, epoxy, ABS, and most paints. For Z99 Safety Solvent Degreaser, customers should follow the product label and test sensitive materials when needed.

Dielectric strength measures a cleaner's ability to resist electrical current. The ZL98 Contact Cleaner is rated at 18,000 volts, suitable for most electronic servicing applications. The Z99 Safety Solvent Degreaser is rated at 36,000 volts per ASTM D-877 testing standards, making it appropriate for heavy-duty industrial and high-voltage electrical equipment cleaning applications.

No. ZL98 and Z99 are self-evaporating cleaners that leave no residue after application. Return-to-service timing should still follow the product label, SDS, equipment requirements, and facility maintenance procedures.
