Contact Cleaner Selection — Quick Reference (Electrical + Electronic)
Contact cleaners for ELECTRICAL + ELECTRONIC applications — remove OXIDATION + dust + contamination from electrical contacts + connectors + PCBs + relays. NON-CONDUCTIVE + plastic-safe + fast-evaporating formulations.
| Contact Cleaner Type | Best For |
|---|---|
| CRC 2-26 Multi-Use | Workshop standard — electrical + moisture |
| CRC QD Electronic Cleaner | Sensitive electronics + plastic-safe |
| WD-40 Specialist Electrical | Electrical contact + relays |
| Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) | See isopropyl alcohol |
| Non-Chlorinated Formulations | WHS + modern preference |
| Aerosol Spray (Targeted) | Spot application + workshop |
| Bulk Container (Dilute) | Production volume |
Critical: Plastic compatibility test FIRST — some cleaners attack acrylic + polycarbonate. Allow FULL EVAPORATION before applying power. NEVER use chlorinated cleaner near welding (forms phosgene). Brands: CRC, WD-40, Inox. Companion: electrical + electronic, cleaning chemicals, isopropyl alcohol.
Contact Cleaners for Electrical and Electronic Applications
Electrical contact cleaners are used to maintaining electrical contacts, circuit boards, switches, relays and sensitive electronic equipment. Products include fast-drying contact cleaners, an extra-strength precision cleaner for heavily contaminated electronics, and a non-flammable freeze spray for fault finding and thermal testing.
AIMS Industrial stocks contact cleaners and electronic component cleaning sprays from CRC and Molytec
Brands in This Range
- CRC: CRC is a global manufacturer of industrial maintenance chemicals. CRC contact cleaners are widely used by electricians, electronic technicians and maintenance personnel for cleaning and restoring electrical contacts and electronic components.
- Molytec: Molytec manufactures specialist maintenance chemicals and lubricants for industrial applications. The Molytec M866 Electric Component and Contact Cleaner is a solvent-based aerosol for cleaning electrical contacts, connectors, switches and circuit boards.
Key Products in This Range
- CRC QD Contact Cleaner: A fast-drying, general-purpose, food grade contact cleaner for removing dust, moisture, grease and light contamination from electrical contacts, connectors, switches, relays, circuit breakers and other electrical components. QD (quick drying) formula leaves no residue. Safe on most plastics and rubbers. Use where regular electrical maintenance requires frequent contact cleaning.
- CRC NF Contact Cleaner Extra Strength: A non-flammable, extra-strength precision contact cleaner for heavily contaminated electrical contacts and sensitive electronic components. The NF (non-flammable) formulation is required for use in areas where flammable aerosols are prohibited. The extra-strength formula cuts through heavier contamination than standard contact cleaners.
- Molytec M866 Electric Component and Contact Cleaner: A solvent-based aerosol cleaner for electrical contacts, connectors, printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies. Removes oil, grease, flux residue and contamination without leaving residue.
Other Associated Products
Whilst these products are not strictly contact cleaners, they are often used in complementary ways.
CRC Freeze Spray: An electrical coolant which rapidly reduces the temperature of electrical surfaces to -50C, allowing for identification of thermal intermittent failures and shorts.
CRC Lectra Clean: A heavy duty electrical parts degreaser available in aerosol, as well as bulk options.
