Key specifications

Selecting the right option

This is a flammable duster. For a non-flammable gas duster see CRC Aerosol Air Brush Dust & Lint Remover 300g; CRC's data sheet for that product lists it as non-flammable but warns that aerosol cans conduct electricity.

Using it

CRC's directions: always read the entire label before using. Deactivate equipment before use. Do not use on energised equipment. Hold the can upright and do not shake it while spraying. Use short bursts, spraying from approximately 25cm from the surface. For hard-to-reach areas, attach the extension tube.

CRC's data sheet also warns that aerosol cans will conduct electricity, so keep away from all live electrical sources including battery terminals, solenoids, electrical panels and other electronic components. Use only in a well ventilated area.
