Action Can TF-90 Fast Drying Cleaning Solvent

Action Can TF-90 is a powerful fast-drying degreaser engineered for rapid removal of oils, greases, waxes, and cutting lubricants from metal surfaces, bearings, chains, and components. The formulation evaporates completely without residue, leaving surfaces clean and dry—ideal surface preparation for painting, bonding, and sealing. Compatible with most plastics and composites, TF-90 serves as a general engineering degreaser and pre-finishing cleaner.

Key Features

  • Powerful Oil and Grease Dissolution — Rapidly dissolves and flushes way oils, greases, cutting lubricants, and waxes without mechanical scrubbing.
  • Fast Complete Evaporation — Evaporates rapidly leaving zero residue or film - no waiting for drying or wiping away sticky residue.
  • Pre-Painting Surface Preparation — Removes all contamination blocking paint adhesion, ensuring optimal paint coverage and finish quality.
  • Materials Compatibility — Safe on most plastics and composites alongside metals and industrial materials - universal engineering cleaner.
  • Anti-Spatter and Lubricant Removal — Removes welding anti-spatter deposits and metal cutting oils from finished components without surface damage.

Description

Metal Surface Contamination and Finishing Preparation

Metal surfaces accumulate contamination from manufacturing, machining, handling, and assembly—cutting oils, drawing compounds, protective coatings, grease. These contaminants block paint adhesion, interfere with bonding, and reduce product quality. Traditional degreasing requires extended soaking or vigorous scrubbing. TF-90 addresses this challenge through chemistry that rapidly dissolves diverse contamination types, enabling fast surface preparation without mechanical effort.

Cutting Fluid and Machining Residue Removal

Metalworking generates cutting fluid residue that's difficult to remove—cutting oils cling to surfaces, drawing compounds embed in machining marks. Incomplete removal creates paint adhesion failure and bonding weakness. TF-90's solvent chemistry actively dissolves these residues, flushing them away completely. This comprehensive removal is essential for precision finishing where any residual contamination would compromise final coating quality.

Anti-Spatter Deposit Elimination

Welding creates spatter deposits that harden onto adjacent surfaces—stubborn, difficult to remove. Anti-spatter compounds used to prevent this buildup must themselves be removed before finishing. TF-90's powerful solvent action dissolves welding deposits and anti-spatter residue, enabling rapid cleanup of welded assemblies. This cleanup capability is particularly valuable for cosmetic or high-visibility welds where appearance matters.

Zero-Residue Evaporation for Finishing Reliability

Residual cleaners interfere with paint adhesion and bonding. Complete evaporation without film is essential. TF-90's formulation evaporates completely within minutes, leaving no wet residue or dry film. This residue-free operation enables immediate painting or bonding after cleaning without extended drying time. The rapid progression from cleaning to finishing accelerates production and reduces waiting time.

Tool and Die Cleaning for Maintenance

Tool and die components accumulate grime, dried protective coatings, and contamination that impairs function. Regular cleaning maintains tool performance and extends service life. TF-90's powerful degreasing enables rapid tool cleaning during maintenance intervals. The fast evaporation minimises tool downtime—cleaned tools return to production immediately without extended drying.

General Engineering Degreasing Versatility

Beyond surface preparation, TF-90 serves general-purpose degreasing on bearings, chains, guides, and machinery. This multipurpose capability eliminates the need for specialty degreasers. A single product handles diverse engineering cleaning needs, simplifying inventory and reducing training requirements across maintenance operations.

More Information

Application Instructions

Shake the aerosol can before use. Mix thoroughly to ensure uniform solvent distribution.

Identify surfaces or components requiring degreasing. Locate contamination that requires removal prior to finishing or assembly.

Spray TF-90 liberally onto the surface to be cleaned. Apply generously from approximately 15–20 cm distance, saturating the contaminated area.

Flush away contamination with adequate spray volume. Use generous quantities to physically flush loose contamination away from the surface.

Allow brief contact time for oil and grease dissolution. Let the solvent work for 30–60 seconds on stubborn contamination, allowing chemical dissolution.

For heavily soiled parts, repeat the procedure. Apply additional TF-90 and repeat flushing if contamination remains after initial application.

Direct spray to reach all contaminated areas. Ensure complete coverage of bearing surfaces, crevices, and interior surfaces requiring cleaning.

Allow complete evaporation before finishing. Once flushing is complete, allow several minutes for complete solvent evaporation (typically 5–10 minutes).

Verify complete cleanliness visually. Inspect the cleaned surface—it should appear clean, dry, and free from residual contamination.

Proceed with painting or bonding immediately. Cleaned surfaces are ready for immediate paint application or bonding without additional preparation.

For sealing applications, ensure complete drying. Although evaporation is rapid, confirm no wet residue remains before sealing application.

Store the container upright for future use. Keep TF-90 in an upright position to prevent nozzle blockage.

FAQs

How long do I need to wait after TF-90 application before painting or bonding treated surfaces?

TF-90 evaporates rapidly, typically within 5–10 minutes depending on temperature and humidity. Although evaporation is very fast, verify complete dryness before painting—run your fingertip across the surface; it should feel completely dry with no wet residue. Once dry, painting or bonding can proceed immediately. At lower temperatures, extend evaporation time; higher temperatures accelerate drying.

Can TF-90 be used on all plastic materials, or should I test specialty plastics first?

TF-90 is safe on most plastics including acrylic, polycarbonate, and ABS. However, some specialty plastics or coatings may react unpredictably. Always test on scrap material or inconspicuous areas first if using on specialty plastics. Standard industrial plastics and composites are fully compatible, but testing provides confidence before committing to full-scale cleaning.

Is TF-90 effective on old, hardened protective coatings and dried cutting fluids, or only on fresh contamination?

TF-90 dissolves both fresh and old contamination—hardened cutting fluids, dried protective coatings, and long-cured deposits all respond to its solvent action. Old contamination may require additional contact time (extend 30–60 second dwell to 2–3 minutes) or repeated applications. Patient application and extended contact time dissolve even stubborn, aged contamination that fresh cleaning addresses immediately.

What's the difference between TF-90 and general-purpose degreasers, and why choose TF-90 for surface preparation?

TF-90 is specifically formulated for fast evaporation and zero-residue operation—essential for pre-finishing applications. General-purpose degreasers often leave films or require wiping. TF-90's complete evaporation eliminates any residue risk, enabling immediate painting or bonding without additional preparation. For finishing-critical applications where residue would compromise results, TF-90's formulation is superior to general-purpose products.
