Castrol CareClean AS 1 Manufacturing Hydrocarbon solvent cleaner
Castrol CareClean AS 1 is a fast-drying, low-odour, isoparaffin-based solvent cleaner. It has excellent solvency power and is compatible with all metal substrates and most non-metal substrates.
Castrol CareClean AS 1 has been developed specifically as an alternative to chlorinated as well as traditional high aromatic hydrocarbon solvent cleaners. CareClean AS 1 delivers excellent solvency for mineral oils, fats, greases and other nonpolar soils typically found in manufacturing. It is particularly recommended when contact of the parts with water is not
desired.
- Excellent solvency power against animal, vegetable and mineral fats and oils and very low surface tension, allowing
the fluid to penetrate into difficult-to-reach areas – improves parts cleanliness and reduces re-work - Fast drying, residue-free finish – increases productivity and minimises scrap rate
- Based on mild odour isoparaffin solvent with low aromatic content – improves the environment for the workforce
- No wastewater is produced and solvent can be recycled by distillation – highly effective and yet economical

User Advice
May swell some rubber and plastics during long-term contact.
Should not be used for cleaning live electrical equipment.
It must not be used in open vapour degreasing processes.
It’s not suitable for removing oxidized grease unless making use of mechanical support, such as brushing.
Storage
All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to
avoid the possible ingress of water and the obliteration of drum markings. The product should not be stored above 40°C,
or exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions.
