OVERVIEW

High-Performance Solvent Cleaning for Industrial Applications

The Cantesco Solvent Cleaner (16 oz Aerosol) is a premium-grade chemical formulation designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial maintenance, welding preparation, and non-destructive testing (NDT). Engineered for efficiency, this solvent-based cleaner rapidly dissolves organic contaminants such as machining oils, greases, shop dirt, and marking fluids from metallic surfaces. Its high volatility ensures a rapid evaporation rate, allowing for immediate processing of the substrate without the delay of long drying times.

A critical feature of this formulation is its residue-free finish. In welding applications, residual hydrocarbons can lead to porosity and weld defects; Cantesco's cleaner eliminates this variable by leaving the base metal chemically clean. Furthermore, this product serves as an effective pre-cleaner and remover in Dye Penetrant Inspection (DPI) processes. It effectively prepares the test area by removing surface contaminants that could mask defects, and it can be used to remove excess penetrant from the surface prior to developing, complying with standard NDT procedures.

The 16 oz aerosol delivery system provides a pressurized spray that helps mechanically dislodge grime while delivering the solvent into hard-to-reach crevices. The formulation is typically non-chlorinated, reducing health and environmental risks associated with older generation halogenated solvents. It is compatible with most engineering metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys, making it a versatile addition to any MRO chemical inventory.

Technical Specifications & Compliance

Designed for professional use, this cleaner aligns with industry standards for surface purity. It is essential for critical joining tasks where hydrogen cracking or lack of fusion due to contamination is a concern. The solvent's solvency power is balanced to be aggressive on contaminants but safe for short-term exposure on many surrounding materials, though testing on plastics is always recommended.

FAQ

Yes, the Cantesco Solvent Cleaner is generally safe for use on all common welding metals, including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. It is non-corrosive to metals.

No, it is formulated to evaporate completely, leaving the surface chemically clean and free of any oily film or residue.

Yes, this cleaner is suitable for use as a Class 2 solvent remover in dye penetrant inspection processes to remove excess penetrant.

Yes, as a solvent-based aerosol, the product is flammable. It should not be used near open flames, sparks, or on hot surfaces. Always follow safety data sheet (SDS) guidelines.

The solvent has a high evaporation rate and typically dries within seconds to a minute, depending on ambient temperature and airflow.

It is a strong solvent and may soften or remove certain paints and coatings. It is recommended to test on a small inconspicuous area if using near painted surfaces.

Most modern Cantesco solvent cleaners are non-chlorinated to meet safety and environmental standards, but always check the specific can label to confirm.

No, strong solvents can damage the plastic and coatings on welding lenses. Use a dedicated lens cleaner for optical equipment.
