Metal Cleaning Solvents

Z99 Safety Solvent Degreaser removes oil, grease, grime, and dirt from engine parts, motors, bearings, gears, and industrial machinery through powerful flushing action. ZL98 High Purity Plastic Safe Contact Cleaner removes residue and contamination from electrical contacts, terminals, and sensitive electronic components.

A good cleaning solvent should match the contamination, surface, and work environment. For electrical equipment, consider dielectric strength, flammability, evaporation, and material compatibility. Z99 is suited to heavy industrial and electrical equipment, while ZL98 is designed for sensitive electronics and compatible plastics.

Yes, when specifically formulated for electrical use. Z99 is non-conductive, non-flammable, and rated to 36,000 volts under ASTM D-877. ZL98 is also non-conductive and non-flammable, with an 18,000-volt dielectric rating. De-energize equipment whenever possible and follow the label, SDS, and lockout/tagout procedures.

ZL98 comes in cases of 12 16-ounce aerosol cans. Z99 is available in cases of 12 20-ounce cans, 5-gallon pails, and 55-gallon drums. Contact Zircon Industries at 800-547-4328 for current pricing and availability.
