LPS 03116 CFC Free Electrical Contact Cleaner
LPS
Description
LPS 03116 CFC Free Electrical Contact Cleaner is a fast-evaporating, plastic-safe cleaner designed for electrical and electronic components. Its penetrating action removes oil, grease, dirt, flux and other contaminants from contacts, connectors, printed circuits, relays, controls and delicate precision mechanisms. The residue-free formula evaporates quickly without rinsing and is non-conductive after evaporation.
LPS 03116 is a proven choice for aircraft and industrial electrical maintenance where a fast-drying contact cleaner is required. The product meets ASTM F-519 Type 1C and Boeing D6-17487, Revision T, and is available in an 11 oz aerosol can. It is also listed for MIL-PRF-29608 applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is LPS 03116 used for?
LPS 03116 is used to clean electrical and electronic components including connectors, contacts, printed circuits, relays, controls, switches and other precision mechanisms. It removes oil, grease, dirt, flux and other contaminants while evaporating quickly without leaving residue.
Is LPS 03116 safe on plastic?
Yes. LPS identifies 03116 as plastic safe and lists plastics among the compatible surfaces. As with any solvent cleaner, test on an inconspicuous area when material compatibility is uncertain.
Does LPS 03116 leave a residue?
No. LPS 03116 is designed to evaporate quickly without leaving a residue.
Does LPS 03116 meet MIL-PRF-29608?
LPS 03116 is identified for MIL-PRF-29608 applications. It is also listed by the manufacturer as meeting ASTM F-519 Type 1C and Boeing D6-17487, Revision T.
Is LPS 03116 VOC compliant?
Not in all U.S. jurisdictions. ITW's current VOC guide identifies 03116 as non-compliant in the applicable regulated categories. Customers with specific VOC requirements should review the current ITW VOC guide or consider the manufacturer's listed alternative, LPS MAX 95416.
Can LPS 03116 be used on aircraft electrical components?
LPS 03116 has specifications associated with aerospace cleaning applications, including Boeing D6-17487 and MIL-PRF-29608. For aircraft maintenance, always verify that the cleaner is approved for the specific component and application in the applicable aircraft or component maintenance documentation before use.
