Selection guidance and compatibility

Choosing the right electronic cleaner depends on the substrate, contaminant type and work environment. For electronics hobbyists and tertiary labs in South Africa, consider these practical factors:

Selection checklist

• Substrate safety: test on plastics and conformal coatings before full use.
• Volatility: fast-evaporating solvents reduce drying time but increase inhalation risk; use in well-ventilated areas.
• Residue: choose a product specified for residue-free cleaning if post-clean conductivity is critical.
• Supply and lead times: ask about local stock in Samrand or branch pickup to avoid project delays.

Practical application examples

Example 1 - Repair bench: After desoldering a connector, spray Lectro-Kleen 2 onto a lint-free wipe and gently remove flux residues. Allow components to air-dry for 30-60 seconds. Example 2 - Tool maintenance: Spray onto metal pliers or cutters, wipe excess and inspect for stubborn grease with a nylon brush.

Safety and handling

• Use in well-ventilated areas; avoid inhalation.
• Wear nitrile gloves and eye protection when handling solvents.
• Store aerosols and solvent containers away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

Accessories, bundles and compatibility guidance

Common accessory bundles for cleaning tasks include aerosol cleaner plus anti-static brushes, lint-free wipes, and plastic-safe swabs.
