Chlorinated formulas are generally the most powerful degreasers and non-flammable, but they're restricted or banned for sale in several states due to VOC and environmental regulations. Non-chlorinated formulas are 50-state VOC compliant and safe to use everywhere, though some are flammable — check the product label for 18414 to confirm which formula and state restrictions apply before purchasing.

CRC Brakleen is formulated for use on disc and drum brake systems, including brake linings, pads, shoes, calipers, wheel cylinders, and clutch discs. It's designed to quickly remove brake fluid, grease, oil, and other contaminants without leaving residue. Always check the specific product label, as formulations and approved applications can vary between Brakleen variants.

Brakleen is formulated specifically for brake system components. While it's a strong degreaser, CRC and independent safety reviewers caution against using it as a general-purpose shop cleaner on other surfaces, plastics, or painted parts, since its strength and chemical makeup can damage materials it wasn't designed for. For general parts cleaning, CRC's dedicated Parts Cleaner & Degreaser line is the better fit.

PowerJet® is CRC's high-force spray actuator, delivering a more concentrated stream that breaks up tough grease, oil, and varnish deposits faster than a conventional aerosol spray pattern — CRC's lab testing found it removes deposits significantly faster than the average competitor, letting you use less product per job.

Flammability varies by formula — some CRC cleaners (like certain chlorinated Brakleen variants) are non-flammable, while many non-chlorinated, low-VOC formulas are flammable. Always check the flash point and flammability rating on the product label for 18414 and follow standard shop safety precautions around hot exhaust, brake components, or open flame.

CRC's patented S.D.[L.]® label design lets you peel back the label directly on the can to reveal the full Safety Data Sheet, so you have complete handling, storage, and first-aid information on hand without needing to look it up separately.

CRC offers several formulas specifically engineered to be 50-state VOC compliant, meaning they meet California and other strict state-level volatile organic compound regulations.
