FAQs
Is Amberklene FE10 safe for all types of plastic?
While generally safe for most common plastics, it's crucial to test on a small, hidden area first. Some softer or more sensitive plastics may react to strong solvents.
How quickly does Amberklene FE10 evaporate?
It is a fast-evaporating solvent, designed to minimize drying time and leave no residue, allowing for immediate further processing.
Can this product be used on painted surfaces?
It is not specifically recommended for painted surfaces as the strong solvent action could potentially affect the paint finish. A test in an inconspicuous area is advised if necessary.
What does 'Silicone FREE' mean for its application?
Being silicone-free means it will not leave behind any silicone residues, which is important in industries like automotive painting, electronics, or food processing where silicone contamination can cause issues.
What is the NATO catalogue number for this product?
The NATO catalogue number for Ambersil Amberklene FE10 is 6850-99-6636478.
Do I need to wear protective gear when using this product?
Yes, due to its strong solvent nature and potential for fumes, it is recommended to use in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is blocked or not spraying effectively.
Shake the can vigorously and ensure the nozzle is clear of any dried residue. If blockage persists, try briefly inverting the can and spraying to clear the nozzle.
Product does not seem to be removing grease effectively.
Ensure the can was adequately shaken before use. For heavily soiled areas, a second application or longer contact time may be necessary. Check if the temperature is too low, as this can affect solvent performance.
Observed discoloration or damage on a plastic surface.
Discontinue use immediately on that material. Amberklene FE10 may be too aggressive for certain plastics. Always perform a spot test on an inconspicuous area before widespread application.
