Cleaning Wipes & Solutions for Low & High Voltage Switchgear

PF-QD is a fast evaporating and odourless solvent for zero residue cleaning and degreasing of low and high voltage switchgear. A non corrosive electrical cleaning solvent on metal such as copper, aluminium, magnesium and stainless steel, PF-QD is suitable for use on metal and painted switchgear surfaces. Compatible with resins, plastics and elastomeric rubbers, the low surface tension provides excellent wetting action, even with difficult plastics. PF-QD is suitable for a variety of LV-HV switchgear cleaning applications, in general and specific niche industries such as aerospace and power.

* Switchgear cleaning and maintenance
* Surface cleaning and preparation
* Removing petroleum based oils
* General cleaning and degreasing in manufacture, fabrication and maintenance applications

PF-QD is available as standard in convenient fit for purpose packaging in both liquid and high strength, low lint impregnated wipes. PF-QD has been extensively tested in the aerospace industry and includes Bombardier, Boeing, Douglas Aircraft and Rolls Royce among its approvals. PF-QD has additional worker benefits along with its impressive compatibility and cleaning abilities : quick drying, non toxic, has a low skin irritation potential and as it is odourless, eliminates strong smells in the workplace – especially important for those working in confined spaces on low and high voltage switchgear and cabinets.

Switchgear Cleaning Guidance

1. Apply a thin film of cleaning solvent using the liquid or impregnated wipe.
2. Allow 1-2 minutes for surface action to dislodge switchgear contaminants.
3. Wipe off with the same wipe or with a clean, dry lint free cloth (recommended). Repeated use of the impregnated cleaning wipe without further solvent addition is possible until the cleaning wipe becomes saturated with contaminant.
