While doing a great job cleaning brake parts brake cleaner can be harmful to plastic, rubber, electronics, and painted parts. It turns out some of these components can be dissolved by brake cleaner so it should only be used on brake components or other bare metal components you're looking to clean.GUNK Engine Degreaser Heavy Duty Gel
Specifically designed for older or hotter running engines, Engine Degreaser Heavy Duty Gel is safe on plastics, under-hood rubber and paint.Rinse with clean water and dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleanser that may scratch the plastic. Use a tub/tile/sink cleaner; nonabrasive, all-purpose cleaner; or a paste of baking soda and water. Apply the cleaner to the surface or on a damp sponge and rub gently.
Will brake cleaner damage rubber : Beware that this cleaner is extremely powerful and may damage rubber, plastics, painted surfaces, or electrical components, so it should be used carefully and only on non-painted metal components.
Is brake cleaner corrosive to plastic
If you are cleaning a metal part that you plan on welding, using brake cleaning products is not recommended as it may create toxic fumes when welded (chlorinated versions in particular). Non-chlorinated brake cleaners are also safer to use on plastic parts.
Can you use WD-40 on plastic : WD-40 Multi-use product is great for most plastic surfaces that have had a lot of outdoor exposure, so it's fantastic for garden furniture. Simply spray, scrub and polish for garden chairs and tables that will brighten up any outdoor occasion.
Plastic / rubber compatibility – Care needs to be taken when cleaning plastic or components, rubber gaskets and seals. If the degreaser is incompatible with the plastic, it can craze (create small cracks), embrittle, or soften the material. Rubber seals may swell, shrink, or dissolve. Check the labels of any cleaning products you're about to use, especially degreasers, to make sure they promise residue-free cleaning. Many can leave a white haze on semi-porous surfaces like rubber and plastic.
Is it OK to wash plastic
If a plastic bottle or container has been marked as reusable, it should be safe to go in your dishwasher – under certain conditions. When washing these kinds of products, always put them on the top rack (far away from the heating component) and avoid using deep clean or sanitising cycles1.If you are lucky enough to not cause your plastic to craze, you will still end up accelerating its eventual breakdown and yellowing by using alcohol or ammonia-based cleaners. Avoiding alcohol and ammonia-based cleaning products is key to keeping your plastic looking good and lasting long.Alcohol-based cleaners can be a good alternative, and are available as sprays and liquids. Electronics parts cleaner aerosols that are safe for delicate circuit boards can be a good choice, but if you're stuck and don't have a bottle of vodka handy, there is an alcohol supply right in the shop: gas line antifreeze. Rigid plastics like ABS, polycarbonate (trade name Lexan), and acrylic materials like Plexiglass can be very sensitive to harsh solvents like toluene, xylene, and acetone. Alcohol and hydrocarbon based solvents tend to be better on sensitive plastics.
Why does brake cleaner melt plastic : The lipophilic liquids dissolve fat-soluble lubricants or oils. Some products also contain polar solvents such as ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, and acetone in order to dissolve non-lipophilic substances. Many formulations are incompatible with various materials, especially plastics.
What is the best degreaser for plastic : WD-40 Specialist® Degreaser
Contains a proprietary industrial-strength solvent that quickly breaks down grease, yet unlike other harsh degreaser solvents is safe on most surfaces including metals, plastics, rubber, glass, aluminum and more (if unsure test on a small area first).
What is the best lubricant for plastic parts
Silicone
Silicone-based lubricants such as PFAE, most synthetic hydrocarbons (SHC or PAO) and mineral oils work well with plastics. Degreaser should not be used on plants or animals and kept out of children's reach.Baking soda is especially great for cleaning plastic because it absorbs any funky odors that the plastic may have soaked up. Rinse the plastic item with hot water to get all the food out. Sprinkle on baking soda with a bit of water to make a paste. Scrub the paste with a sponge or scrubber.
What can I use to clean plastic : Forte's recipe for stain removal: 1 tablespoon of chlorine bleach to 1 cup of water. Pour to just above the level of the stain or put the solution into a container large enough to hold your plastic item. Soak for 30 minutes or until the stain is gone. Then, rinse in warm soapy water.
