Plexus® PC-120 Cleaner Conditioner is a fast-drying surface treatment designed to improve the long-term durability of Plexus adhesive bonds on aluminum and stainless steel assemblies. It cleans light surface contaminants while leaving behind active ingredients that help bonded metal structures resist exposure to water and saltwater environments.
PC-120 can be applied by wiping, brushing, or spraying. Its red dye provides a visual application indicator—a light, even red tint shows that enough product has been applied. Once dry, the prepared parts are ready for bonding, typically within 1 to 3 minutes under ambient conditions.
