I have used it on plastic housings and parts that contained plastic without any residual problems. Strongly suggest you wear safety gear while using it. Good good eye protection Is essential to prevent accidental splash back when using. Great product. Good luck

I have used this product for probably close to 20 years on many different types of RC cars and I have never seen it affect the plastic. I have had to clean the motor still attached to my electric RC cars and the CRC runs all over the cases and arms and it is never made anything Bridle or even discolored it. This includes the cheap Tamaya type plastic and several different types of nylon blend plastic. I have used it to clean oil residue off of lexan and it has not discolored it at all. I cannot guarantee it on other types of plastic though. Hope this helps you a little and good luck.

I used it on and around many plastic parts and it did not effect them at all.

This IS a gun cleaner. It loosens parts that have corroded together. You will find it at most gun shops. I have no idea what it does to plastics.

I've used 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner cleaner on both plastic and acrylic. The label says it is okay to use on cured paint, vinyl or glass. I don't see any warnings about plastic or acrylic. The primary ingredients are Xylene, Ethylbenzene and Toluene and Benzene. I suspect you won't want it to sit on plastics and acrylics for a prolonged period of time. All the ingredients are pretty nasty stuff so wear gloves and protect your eyes from spray-back and use it in a very well ventilated space. I love this for removing tar, oil, etc. on vehicle paint, wheels, etc.

As long as you are applying it to glass, you're good. It can do weird things to plastic, and the directions say not to use it on plastic.

I would use caution if your gonna use it on paint, because it might strip the paint off. I would try dabbing the isopropyl alcohol on a rag first. With plastic and rubber it should be safe just make sure you check the plastic number to identify the strength of the plastic, because some plastics are more likely to leak than others.

Yeah it's safe on plastics. It's hard to say whether it will help or not, but if you spray it around the edges of the button then press the button a bunch (and repeat a few times), you should get the cleaner inside the mechanism to do its stuff.

I am pretty sure it will...BUT... It will also tend to melt the plastic as well. The solvent is very volatile so the less you use, the less damage to the underlying material. Put some on a paper towel and try. If it does NOT work add a bit more and try again.

You should be fine spraying it on plastic. I sprayed my whole car with it actually! I would recommend cleaning the spray surface well, and sanding it with a heavy grit sandpaper to help the product adhere.

I haven't tried it with plastic. The manufacturer recommended metal so that is what I use.

This adhesive has harsh chemicals in it but I would not recommend it for hard plastic. It is designed to be flexible after curing. For hard plastic I would recommend model airplane glue, super glue or JB Weld.

I've never tried it on plastic but think it would. It worked well on everything I used it on.

We no longer have packaging. I don't know , but my guess would be no, just because so many plastics are not safe.

It actually works a bit better on plastic. Should not affect your chlorinization.

I believe it should only be used with water. I think any other solution could possibly cause the plastic/material to break down or risk any other damage. Plain warm water gets the job done for me!

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.

If it were me I would never consider using it with plastic. It will get hot enough to burn your hand, or plug it in and put your hand on it and see what you think.

It can be used on all plastics, to clean without scratching the surface. leaves a lustrous shine that resists fogging.
