World-first from CRC Industries as it launches sustainable, high performance brake cleaners

The packaging of both Brākleen H2O and Brākleen VOC Free features no warning symbols whatsoever, providing an indication of their harmless formulation. Aside from health and safety benefits, the new brake cleaners offer complete material compatibility with rubbers, plastics and paint in the wheel arch, as well as ABS and other types of wheel sensors.

Brākleen H2O and Brākleen VOC Free are ideal for cleaning and degreasing all brake and clutch parts, including brake linings, cylinders and other mechanical components. Such is the high level of performance available that it reduces the need for full disassembly of parts, reducing time and effort.

Brākleen H2O, for strong degreasing performance in difficult-to-access areas.
As a water-based, pH-neutral brake cleaner, Brākleen H2O provides safe and effective removal of oil, grease, brake dust, brake fluid, transmission fluid, hardened deposits and other contaminants. Notably, it offers powerful spray delivery that blasts contamination from surfaces in difficult-to-access areas.



Brākleen VOC Free helps improve air quality at the workplace.
Brākleen VOC Free does not contain harmful volatile organic compounds (VOC's) as found in typical solvent cleaners, helping to improve air quality at professional garages. This means no dizziness or headaches for garage technicians, and no generation of ground-level ozone. Offering a very strong degreasing performance, Brākleen VOC Free is a water-emulsifiable brake cleaner with multiple active ingredients for the effective removal of common dirt and grime from brake components.




“We performed extensive testing of Brākleen H2O and Brākleen VOC Free against similar products available on the market, but the latter do not come close in terms of performance and are usually not available as aerosols,” explains Kjell Roels, Product Manager at CRC Industries Europe. “Both Brākleen VOC Free and Brākleen H20, which comply with our Green Force^® set of environmental criteria, represent a genuine alternative to solvent cleaning in a far more sustainable formulation. The products offer low GWP [Global Warming Potential] with their absence of halogenated components, and do not contain phosphates or any other substances of very high concern (SVHCs). With Brākleen H2O and Brākleen VOC Free, garages can take a step towards a more sustainable future without compromising performance.”
