CRC Contact Cleaner Plus

Fast-drying precision cleaner for electronic equipment and printed circuit boards with NSF food processing approval.

Out of stock

⚙ Ideal For

  • Circuit board cleaning
  • Electrical relay maintenance
  • Food processing electronics
  • Contact restoration
  • Lab equipment maintenance

✔ Benefits

  • Zero residue evaporation
  • NSF K2 certified
  • Removes flux and oils
  • Non-conductive formula
  • 97% active content

Moisture and contaminants trapped on electrical contacts and printed circuit boards cause corrosion, arcing, and intermittent failures that degrade equipment performance and reliability. Standard heavy-duty cleaners leave residue or require extended drying, delaying equipment reactivation and risking incomplete removal of corrosion-causing substances.

CRC Contact Cleaner Plus addresses this with fast-drying naphthenic solvents that evaporate completely, dissolving flux, oils, and moisture in minutes while leaving zero residue — critical for precision electronics in demanding environments including food processing facilities.

Key Features

  • Fast Drying with Zero Residue — Evaporates completely in minutes, allowing immediate equipment reactivation without risk of residual solvent affecting performance.
  • NSF K2 Food Processing Certification — Approved for use on electrical equipment in food processing areas and non-processing environments with incidental food contact risk.
  • Dissolves Corrosion-Causing Contaminants — Rapidly removes flux, oils, fingerprints, and atmospheric moisture that accumulate on contacts and circuit traces.
  • Non-Conductive and Non-Corrosive Formulation — Safe on all metal surfaces, most rubbers, and plastics without electrical damage or material degradation.

Description

Why Contact Contamination Causes Failure

Electrical contacts and printed circuit board traces are vulnerable to corrosion from atmospheric moisture, salt spray, and flux residues left after soldering or assembly. Even light contamination introduces electrical resistance that degrades signal quality or causes intermittent failures — crackling audio, signal drops, or complete circuit malfunction. Moisture trapped on contacts accelerates this corrosion process, turning a minor cleaning issue into component failure requiring expensive replacement. Periodic planned cleaning with CRC Contact Cleaner Plus prevents this degradation from ever starting, extending component life expectancy significantly compared to reactive cleaning after failures occur.

How Fast Evaporation Eliminates Downtime

Unlike heavy-duty industrial cleaners that require extended drying times (180+ minutes), CRC Contact Cleaner Plus evaporates in minutes, allowing equipment to return to service almost immediately. The complete and residue-free evaporation eliminates the residue concerns that plague slower-drying products, ensuring that no cleaning byproducts remain to interfere with electrical performance after reactivation. This fast turnaround is critical in manufacturing and food processing facilities where equipment downtime directly costs money and disrupts production schedules.

NSF K2: Why It Matters in Food Processing

Food processing facilities operate under strict sanitation regulations where cleaning product safety is non-negotiable. NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) K2 certification means CRC Contact Cleaner Plus is approved for use on electrical equipment that may incidentally contact food surfaces or in food processing areas. This certification ensures the product meets regulatory requirements for chemical use in food-related environments, eliminating compliance concerns and allowing safe use without special permits or documentation. For facilities subject to FDA, USDA, or other food safety audits, NSF-certified cleaners are essential.

Flux and Corrosion Removal Without Component Damage

Flux residue from soldering, fingerprint oils, and atmospheric moisture are the primary culprits in contact corrosion. CRC Contact Cleaner Plus specifically targets these contaminants, dissolving them more effectively than general degreasers while remaining completely safe on delicate circuit board materials, solder joints, and sensitive plastic components. The non-conductive formulation eliminates electrical leakage risk between adjacent traces or components — a critical safety factor on densely packed modern circuit boards.

Application Instructions

  1. De-energise equipment completely — Never spray on energized electrical equipment or circuits. Switch off power at the breaker or source and allow adequate time for capacitive discharge on powered equipment. Extinguish all flames, pilot lights, and heaters in the work area.
  2. Prepare for adequate ventilation — Ensure the work area has good air circulation to disperse flammable vapors during application. Use additional fans if necessary, especially in enclosed equipment or confined spaces.
  3. Spray liberally on contaminated surfaces — Apply CRC Contact Cleaner Plus generously to contacts, circuit board traces, connectors, and component surfaces requiring cleaning. Allow the liquid to run off naturally; do not wipe immediately. For precision work on small components or tight spaces, use the extension tube for pinpoint application.
  4. Allow contact time for stubborn deposits — Let the cleaner sit on flux residue or heavily contaminated areas for several minutes to dissolve stubborn deposits. The fast evaporation rate still provides adequate contact time for effective cleaning action.
  5. Allow complete evaporation — The solvent evaporates completely in minutes at room temperature with good ventilation. Do not rush reactivation — ensure all flammable vapors have dispersed and the equipment is completely dry before switching on electrical power.
  6. Test sensitive materials first — Always test on sensitive plastics, adhesive-mounted components, or stressed parts before applying to critical areas. Some delicate materials may benefit from spot testing in an inconspicuous location.

FAQs

Is this safe to use on live electrical equipment?

No, never apply to energized electrical equipment or circuits. De-energise completely, switch off power at the breaker, and allow adequate time for capacitive discharge.

Why would I use this instead of a general degreaser?

General degreasers leave residue that interferes with electrical conductivity. CRC Contact Cleaner Plus evaporates completely with zero residue and specifically dissolves flux and moisture that cause electrical failures.

What is NSF K2 certification and why does it matter?

NSF K2 means the product is approved for use on electrical equipment in food processing facilities. This certification ensures strict sanitation standards are met, eliminating compliance concerns for FDA and USDA audits.

How long does it take to dry, and when can I power equipment back on?

The product evaporates completely in minutes at room temperature with adequate ventilation. Ensure all flammable vapours have dispersed — typically 10–15 minutes — before reactivating electrical systems.
