Description
3M™ Cable Cleaning Solvent CC Series products contain a full strength non-ozone
depleting solvent cleaner, degreaser for use as an effective replacement for 1,1,1
Trichloroethane and other hazardous solvents. It is formulated to exhibit excellent
cleaning and degreasing properties.
The CC Series solvent is a colorless, non-conducting liquid that emanates a light orange
peel scent. It is compatible with most solid dielectric cable insulations and will not cause
tracking on insulation surfaces. Accelerated surface drying can be accomplished by
applying forced air or by wiping dry with a clean cloth. Use of solvent on carbon
containing semi-conductive surfaces such as cable insulation shields is not
recommended. There are four products within the CC series to meet cleaning needs as
follows:
CC-DRY Wiping Cloths
CC-2-DRY Cable Cleaning Preparation Kits
CC-2 Cable Cleaning Preparation Kits
CC-3 Cable Cleaning Pads
Applications
3M™ Cable Cleaning Solvent CC Series is compatible with all solid dielectric cable
insulations; i.e. polyethylene (high and low density), cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) and
ethylene propylene rubber (EPR). In general, most plastic and rubber dielectrics are not
adversely affected by short term exposure to CC Cable Cleaning Solvent associated
with surface cleaning.
The solvent is suitable for use on transformers, generators, motors, vehicles and metal
parts of all sorts, to remove surface oils, tars and heavy greases. The solvent can be
used in parts cleaners to degrease surfaces prior to painting or plating. Solvent viscosity
will change slightly with applications at different temperatures. At low temperatures, the
solvent will become more viscous.
