Just a heads up regarding brake cleaners and VOCs

Yeah nothing to see here right?

Moderator edit: the video contained profanity and has been removed. It contained an objection to Canada‘s new regulation on VOC starting on January 1, 2024.

Now think of one jet airliner that has to dump some fuel. And they are concerned about VOC's? Wake up.

Are they banning only the aerosol cans? Can you buy it by the gallon and use a spray bottle?

If I’m reading it right, 10% VOC brake cleaner is already the law in CA, NY & OH. It’s readily available and reasonably priced.

(edit - Mod) …. At Menards, FVP brand 10% VOC Brake Cleaner is a whopping $3.10 per 15 oz. can. Same price as 45% VOC and Chlorinated. I think we’ll all survive.

Menards had that FPV on sale a couple months ago. I got two cases. For being non chlorinated sure smelled like carbon tetrachloride.

The low VOC brake cleaners are not, IMO, as effective. They work, but not as well as other higher-volatility products.
But, ya gotta use what you can get.

I skimmed the Reg. It looks like a California style ban on Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s). That will knock out chlorinated brake cleaner.
I see CRC changed their labeling to say “ less than 10% VOC” .
