Permatex Electrical & Electronic Cleaners & Lubricants
Permatex Electrical & Electronic Cleaners and Lubricants
Permatex has been a trusted name in automotive chemical solutions since 1909, and that deep expertise carries directly into their line of Electrical & Electronic Cleaners & Lubricants. Whether you're servicing a daily driver, maintaining marine electronics, or diagnosing a finicky ignition system, Permatex brings the same formula-driven precision to protecting and cleaning electrical connections that has made them a workshop staple for over a century.
Cleaning Electrical Contacts the Right Way
Dirty or corroded electrical contacts are a leading cause of intermittent faults and hard-to-diagnose failures. Permatex Electrical Contact & Parts Cleaner is designed for cleaning electrical and electronic devices — a fast-evaporating, noncorrosive cleaner that leaves no residue and removes grease, dirt, oil, flux, and other surface contaminants. That residue-free formula is critical: any leftover material on a circuit board or relay switch can introduce resistance or cause short circuits.
The cleaner is HCFC-free and ideal for sensitive electrical and electronic parts, being non-conductive and non-corrosive — drying in seconds with no rinsing required. It is also designed as an environmentally responsible alternative to CFC-113, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and perchloroethylene solvents.
Suggested applications include electronic parts such as circuit boards, computer components, and relay switches, as well as electric parts such as motors, generators, starters, pumps, motor windings, solenoids, and compressors. In short, if a component carries a current, Permatex has a solution for keeping it clean.
Protecting Connections with Dielectric Grease
Cleaning is only half the battle — long-term protection matters just as much, especially in harsh environments. Permatex Dielectric Tune-Up Grease protects electrical connections and wiring from salt, dirt, and corrosion. It extends the life of bulb sockets, prevents voltage leakage around any electrical connection, and also prevents spark plugs from fusing to boots — a common and frustrating problem during tune-ups.
For lighting applications specifically, Permatex Bulb Grease increases performance and extends service life of bulbs and lamps by preventing voltage leakage and protecting electrical connections from moisture, dirt, and corrosion — covering headlamps, instrument panel bulbs, parking & turn signals, brake lights, and other vehicle lighting, as well as fuses and ignition components.
Why Permatex Stands Out in This Category
Users appreciate how effectively Permatex products restore conductivity by removing oxidation and preventing corrosion, with high ratings for user-friendly application allowing precise targeting of electrical connections without overspray. Many customers report noticeable improvements in their electrical systems, making it a reliable tool for both professional mechanics and home DIY enthusiasts.
Permatex products provide market-specific formulations for a variety of industries including automotive, marine, motorcycle, heavy duty, and off-highway, and the company continuously works with automakers, parts suppliers, and aftermarket companies to develop the next generation of service technology. That commitment to real-world application engineering is what separates Permatex from generic alternatives on the shelf.
