Product Name
Devcon Cleaner Blend 300 1 Pint Metal Degreaser 19510
Brief Description
Devcon Cleaner Blend 300 is a high-performance, multi-purpose industrial cleaner and degreaser designed to effectively remove oils, grease, dirt, and dust from various surfaces. It is a fast-evaporating, non-trichloroethane-based liquid that leaves no residue, making it ideal for surface preparation before the application of epoxies and urethanes, ensuring optimal adhesion and long-lasting repairs.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Surface preparation for metal before applying epoxies or urethanes- Removal of oils, grease, dirt, and dust from metal surfaces- Cleaning of alloys and porous castings- Degreasing industrial equipment- Cleaning rubber, plastics, wood, and concrete surfaces- Ideal for use in dip tanks- General industrial cleaning and maintenance applications
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense (for aerospace component production)- Automotive Service/Repair (for automotive parts manufacturing and maintenance)- Chemical Industry (as a chemical cleaning agent)- Construction/ Building Services (for cleaning concrete surfaces and general building maintenance)- General Manufacturing (for cleaning machinery, components, and heavy machinery fabrication)- Industrial Supply (as a widely used industrial consumable)- Marine (for marine industry applications)- Medical Device/ Prosthetics (for medical device production)- Metal Fabrication (for cleaning metal surfaces, metalworking, and metal finishing processes)- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services (for removing oils, grease, and tar)- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle (for cleaning and degreasing various vehicles and equipment)

Comparison Note
Devcon Cleaner Blend 300 stands out as a non-trichloroethane-based degreaser, offering a safer alternative to more toxic traditional solvents like Trichloroethylene (TCE) and n-Propyl Bromide (nPB), which are being phased out due to health and environmental concerns. Its fast-evaporating and residue-free properties are critical for achieving optimal adhesion when preparing surfaces for subsequent coatings such as epoxies and urethanes. Furthermore, its multi-purpose nature allows for effective cleaning across a broad spectrum of materials, not limited to just metals.
