High-performance shellite solvent for rapid, residue-free cleaning of mechanical components.
Shellite R55, also commonly used as an ABS and brake cleaner, is a fast-evaporating petroleum solvent designed for effective cleaning and degreasing of automotive and mechanical components. It quickly dissolves oils, grease, brake fluid residue and light contaminants from metal parts without leaving residue behind, making it ideal for maintenance and repair tasks where clean, dry surfaces are essential. The rapid flash-off time helps minimise downtime and allows components to be returned to service quickly. Key benefits include strong cleaning performance, residue-free results and compatibility with a wide range of mechanical cleaning applications. Compared to slower-drying solvents, Shellite R55 offers improved efficiency and reduced risk of residue-related issues. It is widely used in automotive workshops, mechanical maintenance, manufacturing and industrial environments where reliable solvent cleaning is critical for performance, safety and consistent results.
