| Insoluble, Ethanol, Freon TF, Heptane, Naphtha, Turpentine, Water | |
| Clean Up: Wipe until dry with tissue, then use soap and water if further cleaning needed. Avoid letting liquid evaporate leaving crystals behind. To help remove crystals: Soak in soap and water or Carbon Tetrachloride or use of scouring pad when not injurious to item cleaned. | |
| Compatibility: May soften some plastics (Especially Polystyrene, Polyethylene, and Polyurethane) and may affect epoxy, rubber (including Silicone and Neoprene), and will corrode Aluminum, Brass, Copper, and Steel | |
