DO NOT purchase "Lectra-clean" in the larger taller can. It will eat
and melt plastics. They are side by side on the shelf. If you are
degreasing Bakelite or motors it is great stuff.


I hate it when manufacturers make entirely different materials over a
period of years, yet they continue to use the same name. I once did a
search for MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) information on Lectra-Clean.
I found at least six different mixtures with the same name. European
compositions were different than those in the USA, and those in
Australian and New Zealand were different still. Some of the
compositions were relatively benign to most plastics, while others were
quite aggressive in attacking most plastics. One formulation even
contained hydrochloric acid, but I am sure someone confused one cleaner
for another when adding it to their database.

Be sure and get the PROPER MSDS information before using any
solvent-based cleaner.
