Record Cleaning
Fluid II

Plurafact slf 180 – Plurafact slf 180 Is a non-ionic surfactant with an excellent wetting effect. Wetting power is important, as this allows fluid to reach tiny record grooves swiftly and removes the trapped air pockets. Plurafact slf 180 also keeps the foaming low and is biodegradable.

1-methoxy-2-propanol – is a glycol-like solvent with a great degreasing effect that improves the removal of fingerprints. In addition, it accelerates the drying process, does not leave streaks, and is biodegradable.

Methanesulphonic acid – only a small amount of acid is necessary to counter mineral substances from fingerprints and dust. Concentration in the fluid is less than 2% and with the recommended 1:500 dilution the acidity of the cleaning medium is very low and perfectly safe for the plastic and plasticizers used in records. Methanesulphonic acid is an innovative organic acid and is biodegradable.

Triethanolamine – is a biodegradable pH stabilizer that reduces the acidity of the cleaning fluid even further. The bottled cleaning fluid is about as acidic as lemon juice.

Propylene glycol – a large portion of the fluid is this biodegradable solvent that is widely used in the food industry that absorbs fat. It evaporates from surfaces at medium speed. 

BTC50 the fluid contains a tiny amount of this benzalkonium chloride. It is a cationic surfactant that provides an antistatic protection to the disc, but it also makes fluid residue easy to rinse off. It is biodegradable.

Butyldiglycole Is a solvent (safe for plastics) that works in combination with other solvents, improving their effectiveness and enhancing the wetting power. It acts as an emulsifier that mixes the other ingredients together and makes the mixture transparent. Butyldiglycole is also effective against dirt of burnt origins and is biodegradable.

Isopropanol – the fluid contains 11% of Isopropanol that in the cleaning mixture will be diluted to 0.02%. Isopropanol is safe for vinyl records as it does not damage plastics (unlike ethanol). It absorbs grease, speeds up the drying process and evaporates quickly. It also is biodegradable.
