ElectrosolveTM Contact Cleaner
409B Technical Data Sheet
409B-Aerosol
Description
The 409B ElectrosolveTM Contact Cleaner is a very fast drying and zero residue contact cleaner. It is
effective at dissolving oils and non-polar residues, and for assisting with the removal of oxidation using a
brush. It cleans connectors, contacts, circuit breakers, microprocessors, and LED and PCB components.
Features and Benefits
• Suitable for Use in Food Facilities as a Non-Food Chemical—Canadian and NFS recognition
letters available on request
• Safe on many plastics
• Zero residue
• Fast evaporation rate
• Dissolves oils and residues
• A variable valve on the aerosol lets you adjust the flow rate as needed
• RoHS compliant

Compatibility
Substrate Compatibility: Consult 409B partial compatibility chart table for substrate compatibility. It is
always recommended to perform a compatibility test on a non-critical test area prior to large scale
applications. Perform this test even if the chart predicts high compatibility since modern plastic parts may
incorporated hidden incompatible materials in the form of plastic blends or as protective and decorative
coatings.
