Cleaning fluid BLOW 3097 IPA+ contact cleaner, isopropyl alcohol-based, 5 L

BLOW 3097 IPA+ is a 5 L isopropyl alcohol-based contact cleaning fluid formulated for degreasing and removing flux, oils, dirt and light oxidation from electronic contacts, circuit boards, connectors and precision components. The fast-drying solvent evaporates quickly and leaves minimal residue, facilitating maintenance and repair tasks in electronics, telecommunications and automotive electrical systems. The formulation is intended for use where rapid cleaning and reliable removal of contaminants are required without prolonged drying times.

Advantages

The cleaning fluid provides effective removal of flux residues, grease and light oxidation while drying rapidly and leaving low residual deposits. Its solvent properties make it suitable for sensitive electronic components and connectors, enabling reliable contact restoration. Supplied in a 5 L container, the product supports extended maintenance cycles and reduces the need for frequent refills during routine service operations.

Suitable for

• Degreasing and cleaning printed circuit boards and surface-mounted components
• Restoring and cleaning electrical contacts and connector pins
• Removing flux residues after soldering and rework
• Maintenance of telecommunications and network equipment
• Electrical system service in automotive and industrial applications

Key specifications

• Base solvent: isopropyl alcohol (IPA)-based formulation
• Volume: 5 litres
• Drying behavior: fast-evaporating with minimal residue
• Compatibility: suitable for most metals, contact surfaces and common electronic substrates when used as directed
• Application type: contact cleaning and degreasing of electronic and electrical parts

How to use

Apply the fluid to the contaminated area using suitable dispensing equipment, a lint-free wipe or spray gun compatible with isopropyl alcohol. For circuit boards and components, apply briefly and allow the solvent to dissolve contaminants, then let parts air-dry or use filtered compressed air to aid evaporation. For connectors and contacts, ensure power is disconnected before cleaning and allow components to dry completely before re-energising. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and ensure adequate ventilation during use.

Usage recommendations

Prior to full application, test on a small inconspicuous area or spare component to confirm material compatibility. Avoid use on plastics or coatings that are known to be sensitive to alcohol-based solvents. Store the container in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources and follow local regulations for handling and disposal of solvent-based cleaners.
