CRC Brakleen 20 Brake and Brake Pad Cleaner Spray, 500 ml

CRC Brakleen 20 Brake and Brake Pad Cleaner Spray 500 ml is a technical spray cleaner designed to quickly dissolve and remove oil, grease, brake fluid residues, and dirt that accumulate on brake and clutch components. Since it is applied by spraying, it works on the principle of flushing and carrying away contaminants from the surface without dismantling parts, helping reduce maintenance time. Its controlled evaporation and low surface-tension approach supports the product’s ability to lift and carry dirt off the surface. The product is part of CRC’s industrial chemicals portfolio.

What is Brakleen 20 technical spray used for?
This technical spray is intended especially to remove oil and grime films that can negatively affect performance on brake pads, discs, drums, calipers, and similar brake parts. In workshop maintenance, it can also be preferred for degreasing and surface preparation on clutch parts and general mechanical equipment. The approach of drying without leaving cleaning residues on the surface offers an advantage in jobs that require a quick turnaround before assembly. For stubborn contamination such as a mix of brake dust and oil, repeating the cleaning process is aimed at achieving a fully clean surface.

Formula and performance approach
Because Brakleen 20 is a solvent-based technical spray, its cleaning effect comes from a combination of chemical dissolution and mechanical flushing driven by spray pressure. Its “controlled evaporation” character aims to give time for grime to dissolve and run off, without unnecessarily extending waiting times in maintenance. In sensitive areas such as brake systems, the goal is for contaminants to dissolve and drain away, for the part to dry quickly, and for the surface to be completely dry before putting it back into service. Correct use of this type of spray directly affects both cleaning quality and part safety.

Application method and points to consider
If there is a very thick layer of dirt on the part, removing it mechanically beforehand increases the spray’s efficiency. Apply a sufficient amount to the area to be cleaned; position the part and control dripping so the dissolved grime can flow away, then allow it to dry completely at room temperature. Avoid applying to equipment that is energized, and on sensitive surfaces, test on a small area first to reduce risks in the field. In enclosed areas, ensure ventilation and do not neglect personal protective equipment, as the product is an aerosol and inhalation of solvent vapors is not desirable.

Sector-based uses and key advantages
In automotive service shops, heavy-vehicle maintenance workshops, industrial maintenance teams, and mechanical maintenance units in production facilities, this technical spray is used for brake system cleaning, degreasing part surfaces, and pre-assembly preparation steps. Fast application and the ability to clean without dismantling parts provide a practical advantage in maintenance scenarios where downtime is critical. Since aerosol products carry flammability and pressurized container risks, it is important to work away from ignition sources and follow proper storage/handling discipline. When safe-use rules are applied correctly, the product offers a technical spray solution focused on fast results for brake and pad cleaning.
