Product Description

AMERICAN POLYWATER FD-640 5-Gal SpliceMaster® Type FD™ 02786804020 SOLD PER Pail AMERICAN AMERICAN POLYWATER FD-640 5-Gal SpliceMaster® Type FD™ 02786804020 SOLD PER Pail FD™ Electrical Contact Cleaner A Fast-Drying Cleaner for General Industrial & Maintenance Use 5-gallon (18.9 liters) pail FD™ Electrical Contact Cleaner is a fast drying, multi-purpose industrial and maintenance cleaner. It replaces ozone-depleting CFC's, trichloroethane, HCFC's, perchloroethylene and other carcinogenic chlorinated solvents. FD™ Cleaner effectively dissolves industrial grimes, greases, lubrication fluids, silicone, tars, adhesives, and fluxes. FD™ Electrical Contact Cleaner evaporates quickly without a residue. It is suitable for use in electrical maintenance as a replacement for 1,1,1-trichloroethane. Transformer oils, corrosion inhibitor compounds, silicone grease, semi-conducting paints, and many other kinds of electrical grime clean up quickly with FD™ Cleaner.

FD™ is suitable for many types of cleaning and degreasing, including contact cleaning, cable cleaning, and communication and electrical maintenance cleaning. It can be used as a spray, wipe, or solvent rinse. FD™ is effective at room temperature. It does not freeze and can be used in cold weather applications. FD™ is authorized by the USDA for use in federally inspected meat and poultry plants. FD™ Electrical Contact Cleaner has good solvency power. Cleaning time and effectiveness will vary based on the contaminant and cleaning method. Wiping or agitation cleans faster than just soaking. Experiment with your particular contaminant and conditions. FD™ Electrical Contact Cleaner is compared to other solvent types in the chart below. A stainless steel surface is coated with 50 mils of contaminating compound. The surface is immersed and lightly agitated in FD™ solvent. The time at which the contaminant has dissolved is noted.

For precision cleaning (residue free use), prevent recontamination with existing grime by finishing with a fresh wipe, spraying until the solvent runs clear, or rinsing in a fresh bath of FD™ cleaner. FD™ Electrical Contact Cleaner is fast evaporating and does not require forced air to dry. In areas where solvent has pooled, the part may be wiped with an absorbent, lint-free towel. Evaporation Rate __________________________________ FD™ Cleaner 40 mg/min. 1,1,1, Trichloroethane 50 mg/min. Perchloroethylene 20 mg/min. Isopropyl Alcohol 10 mg/min. Odorless Mineral Spirits .3 mg/min. COMPATIBILITY FD™ Electrical Contact Cleaner will not corrode or stain metal parts. It does not tarnish or corrode copper per ASTM D130 and D1729. FD™ Electrical Contact Cleaner is compatible with most plastics and elastomers. Tables I and II show the effect of FD™ on various plastics and rubbers. Testing, shown in charts I and II, is based on a soak test described in ASTM D543. FD™ may temporarily swell some rubber compounds. These rubbers should return to their original state after the cleaner has evaporated. Immersion will affect sensitive materials more than incidental contact of a spray or wipe. It is recommended that all plastic parts, gaskets, seals and O-rings be tested for specific use and exposure method.
