Action Can BC-90 Brake and Clutch Cleaner

CRC BC-90 is a professional-grade powerful solvent cleaner engineered for brake and clutch system maintenance. The potent flushing action rapidly removes brake dust, grease, oil, road grime, and brake fluid contamination whilst fast evaporation eliminates residue and minimises downtime. Suitable for disc brakes, drums, calipers, brake shoes, clutch discs, and general metalworking degreasing.

Key Features

  • Powerful Solvent Flushing Action — Advanced solvent chemistry rapidly dissolves and flushes away brake dust, grease, oil, grime, and multiple contamination types.
  • Fast Drying Performance — Evaporation rate of 2.8 (ether = 1) delivers rapid drying without extended waiting periods, minimising maintenance downtime.
  • Zero Residue Evaporation — Complete evaporation leaves no film or residue that would interfere with brake or clutch operation and efficiency.
  • Brake Fluid and Contamination Removal — Specifically engineered to remove brake fluid, hydraulic contamination, and industrial grime from brake and clutch systems.
  • General Purpose Degreasing Capability — Beyond brake-specific applications, serves as general-purpose degreaser and metal cleaner for diverse industrial cleaning tasks.

Description

Brake System Contamination and Efficiency Loss

Brake systems accumulate multiple contamination types—brake dust from pad wear, grease from lubricants, oil from component contact, grime from road spray, and brake fluid from hydraulic systems. These contaminants gradually reduce brake efficiency and create maintenance concerns. Traditional cleaners struggle with the diverse contamination types requiring different chemical approaches. BC-90's formulation addresses multiple contaminants through powerful solvent action.

Brake Dust Chemistry and Removal Challenge

Brake pad wear produces fine metallic and carbon dust that builds up on discs, calipers, and components. This dust is finely divided and adheres persistently to surfaces. Mechanical brushing alone is labour-intensive and ineffective; BC-90's solvent action chemically loosens and flushes this dust away without mechanical effort.

Grease and Oil Dissolution Without Aggressive Scrubbing

Grease and oil residues resist water-based cleaners and require aggressive mechanical scrubbing with traditional solvents. BC-90's powerful flushing action chemically dissolves these hydrophobic contaminants, lifting them away from surfaces with minimal physical scrubbing. This chemical dissolution is faster and less labour-intensive than mechanical approaches.

Brake Fluid Contamination Removal

Hydraulic brake fluid can leak, splash, or accumulate on components, affecting braking efficiency and creating corrosion pathways. BC-90 specifically addresses brake fluid contamination, flushing it away completely. This fluid removal is critical for ensuring brake system reliability and preventing delayed braking response from fluid contamination.

Fast Evaporation for Operational Continuity

Slow-drying cleaners extend maintenance time—waiting for evaporation before brake operation creates downtime. BC-90's evaporation rate of 2.8 enables rapid drying, allowing brake system operation within minutes rather than hours. This fast-drying characteristic is particularly valuable for fleet maintenance and commercial operations.

Residue-Free Brake Efficiency

Some cleaners leave films or residues that interfere with brake operation—reduced friction, pad glazing, or deposit accumulation. BC-90's complete evaporation eliminates residue, ensuring brake system operates optimally after cleaning. Zero residue is essential for safety-critical braking systems.

Multipurpose Industrial Degreasing

Beyond brake and clutch applications, BC-90 serves general industrial degreasing needs—cleaning metal parts, tools, and equipment. This multipurpose capability makes it valuable beyond automotive maintenance into general industrial maintenance.

Application Instructions

Remove excessive dust and dirt with a brush or cloth. Use a dry brush to dislodge loose brake dust before solvent application—take precautions not to inhale brake dust (use masks if necessary).

Shake the aerosol can well before use. Mix the solvent formulation thoroughly to ensure uniform consistency and distribution.

Spray liberally onto brake components. Apply BC-90 generously to brake discs, pads, calipers, backing plates, and other components requiring cleaning.

Collect run-off with paper towels or cloths. As the solvent flushes contamination, collect run-off with disposable cloths or paper towels to manage residue.

Use a wire brush on heavy contamination. For caked-on brake dust or stubborn contamination, use a wire brush to assist the solvent action whilst scrubbing contaminated areas.

Clean caliper housing and backing plate thoroughly. Spray and brush the caliper housing and backing plate areas to remove all dirt and dust accumulation.

Repeat application on heavily soiled parts. For extremely contaminated components, apply BC-90 multiple times, allowing brief solvent contact before brushing or wiping.

Allow complete evaporation before operation. Once cleaning is complete, allow the solvent to evaporate completely (typically 5–10 minutes) before operating the vehicle.

Inspect cleaned components under bright light. Check that all contamination has been removed and components are clean and dry.

Test brake operation after completion. Before returning the vehicle to service, always test brake operation to ensure proper functionality and braking response.

Avoid contact with body and paint. Take care not to spray BC-90 on vehicle bodywork, painted surfaces, rubber components, or plastic parts that could be damaged by the solvent.

Dispose of waste cloths appropriately. Dispose of contaminated cloths and waste materials according to local waste disposal regulations.

FAQs

Is BC-90 safe on rubber and plastic brake system components, or should I avoid contact?

BC-90 is a powerful solvent that can damage rubber and plastic components. Avoid spraying brake hoses, rubber seals, plastic brake fluid reservoirs, and plastic trim. The product is engineered for metal brake components—discs, calipers, backing plates, springs. Careful application protects non-metal components from solvent damage.

How quickly does BC-90 dry, and can I operate the brake system immediately after cleaning?

BC-90's evaporation rate of 2.8 means fast drying—typically complete within 5–10 minutes depending on temperature and ventilation. However, always allow complete evaporation before brake operation. Never operate with wet brake components; ensure drying is visually confirmed before driving.

Can BC-90 be used as a general degreaser beyond brake and clutch applications?

Yes. BC-90 is suitable as a general-purpose solvent degreaser and metal cleaner for industrial applications beyond brake systems. However, exercise the same precautions regarding rubber and plastic contact. The powerful solvent action that makes it effective for brake cleaning makes it suitable for diverse degreasing tasks.

What precautions should I take regarding brake dust inhalation during cleaning?

Brake dust can contain asbestos or other harmful particles depending on brake pad composition. Always remove loose dust with a brush or cloth first (with dust mask if needed) before solvent application. Proper ventilation is essential. Follow occupational safety guidelines for brake system maintenance in professional or high-exposure environments.
