I have used it on all items from plastic to aluminum to steel. Obviously I would try a sample item first if you have a concern.

Frankly, I do not know. Based on my experience, the more aggressive the solvent, the higher the probability of damage to rubber parts. The trouble with Berriman is of the opposite nature: it is virtually uneffective.Speaking of troublesome solvents, in my modest opinion, there is one that outclass all of the dangerous chemicals for carburators: surprisingly, it is called gasoline with ethanol blends....Sorry for my bluntness.

This is a new formula, the old formula worked great on carburators but did effect plastic and rubber parts , this formula has no effect on plastic and has a hard time removing the shellac build up in carbs. I had to soak a lawn mower carburator for 8 days just to get it simi cleaned. The old formula worked in 30 min.

It is made if a rubber like plastic. If it were metal, this item would most certainly be illegal.

I would say no . It has oils that are made for leather not plastic and rubber .

Amazon emailed me your question, as I had purchased one of these. I didn't know the answer, but got curious and went to the Rubbermaid website. The question was asked there, and their answer was that they WOULDN'T answer, due to the highly competitive nature of the industry! After reading that, I would assume the answer to your question to be "yes", and I myself will hesitate before buying another Rubbermaid product. Hey, if they won't answer a perfectly legitimate question, regarding their customer's health and safety of their product, I'll spend my dollars elsewhere where full disclosure is offered!

I can't say for sure as not all plastics are created equal, some can take a high temperature. most of us place it on a metal surface such as oil or transmission base. If the plasic is not thick and robust, I wouldn't chance it.

I called the company and they said, "All the plastic parts that come into contact with product are BPA free." Which means the only parts that are NOT BPA free are the green crank handle and the clamp pieces.

I think it is the "food grade" polypropylene, which does not instill confidence in me. Even allegedly "safe" food grade polypropylene (LDPE) is not considered safe by research scientists. Better to use a wool puddle pad.

It says on side, "the lining of this can was produced without BPA" so you should be okay....

There is BPA free plastic in contact with the water. This is a safe kind of plastic.

No. I ordered and got a damaged, open can recently. The company didn't refund me. They said it was Amazons fault.

BPA safe plastic the handle is not silicone. There is no reason to be concerned about burns the handle does not heat up when the hot water is poured in.

Hi Stephen,Yes, as you can see on the picture. But the can become entangled and the plastic frame is not stable enough then. The plastic frame drops .... in all components .... Apologies my english, but I am from Germany ..... and when I'm by a product here in the US ....... then I just a bit spoiled by the German quality ...:-) I have a super Can Crusher bought by the company Harbour Freight - cheaper ($ 9.99) almost anything made of metal - but only 6 Cans (Big Deal) - but much, much better......!!!!!!

#7 is not necessarily safe - it is a catch all for resins that are not classified 1 though 6. Often proprietary patented products, such as Tritan, fall into this category. So users beware: corporations are not always your friend. Safest is to be sure to use type #2, 4 or 5.I recently purchased a Reliance Products Aqua-Pak 5 Gallon Rigid Water Container which says it is made from "Food Grade Plastic" and is BPA free. I contacted Reliance and they said "All of our water containers with the exception of the Aqua-Clear carry a recycle code of 2 (HDPE)."

According to the details listed on Amazon: "Made From United States Food and Drug Administration Approved Plastic That's Safe for Food and Water Contact." Hope this helps!
