Parts Washer Solvents

Industrial parts cleaning solvents vary significantly in composition. The current Z99 aerosol SDS identifies tetrachloroethylene as its primary ingredient. Always review the SDS for the specific product and format to understand its composition, hazards, ventilation needs, and material compatibility.

Flammability varies by product and formulation. The current Z99 aerosol SDS classifies the product as a Category 3 flammable liquid and lists a flash point of 142 degrees F. Keep it away from ignition sources and follow the SDS requirements for ventilation, grounding, storage, and handling.

Z99 is available in cases of 12 20-ounce aerosol cans, 5-gallon pails, and 55-gallon drums. Packaging supports both targeted maintenance and higher-volume industrial cleaning. Contact Zircon Industries for current pricing, availability, freight information, and application guidance.

Yes, when the solvent is specifically designed for electrical equipment. Z99 has a dielectric strength of 36,000 volts under ASTM D-877 and is intended for motors, relays, windings, and electrical assemblies. De-energize equipment whenever possible and follow the SDS, lockout/tagout, and facility procedures.

Do not assume a parts cleaning solvent is environmentally safe because it evaporates or leaves no residue. Solvent vapors, spills, contaminated materials, and spent product may create health, environmental, or hazardous-waste obligations. Follow the current SDS and complete any required waste determination.

Store parts cleaning solvents according to the current SDS and label. The Z99 aerosol SDS requires tightly closed containers, a well-ventilated storage area, ignition-source controls, grounding or bonding where applicable, and precautions against sparks and static discharge.
